The problem is artsy films don't always sell as good.

Hollywood Fomula isn't something you might want to work... BUT IT WORKS.

The problem with Hollywood is that the Hollywood Formula works though. And often people don't truly understand what makes a good movie within that formula and just use the formula... at the expense of good movies outside the mold.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think that it's that the Hollywood formula works per se; I think the problem is that movies for the US are almost exclusively internal productions, and specifically they're mostly Hollywood movies. This means that there are about 300 millions of people whose only media consumption is Hollywood movies, and they are attuned to that particular flavor of movie and aren't really exposed to anything else. However, in the rest of the world there's a tendency to show both internal productions and productions from other countries, including movies from Hollywood. Other countries produce plenty of movies that would be considered artsy in the US but that actually made it big in their own country and others. I think that the reason why those movies don't make it in the US is how insular they are in terms of tastes, not that Hollywood movies particularly work or that artsy movies don't.

I love Hollywood films!

What I was talking about was the fact that the films that make it big from outside of Hollywood for the most part are copies of Hollywood films, in Norway a lot of the films that we produce ourselves that makes it big in Norway are not artsy, they are just Norwegian and they don't really make it that big outside of Europe (or Norway for the most part to be honest).

Also did you know that about 50% of films in French cinemas are not American? They are French, because they have a pretty good system in place. In Norway we have maybe one or two films a month that are Norwegian and the rest is American. And that is only made possible through state run funds.
