Film industry - Black Widow

 1) The companies that helped produce Black Widow are as following: Walt Disney, Blitz, and Marvel studios.

 2) Conglomerate ownership refers to when a major media company owns a variety of smaller and less-known companies known as subsidiaries.

 3) From watching the trailer, one of many aspects that make this an easy recognisable blockbuster film is that it contains a lot of realistic action scenes which require a lot of money and can typically only be afforded by larger film production companies. In addition to the hyper realistic graphics, the characters in the film are globally known for being apart in other famous films which means Marvel would've have to pay quite a bit of money to afford these actors in their film.

 4) Black Widow was promoted through trailers, billboards, social media, and variations of IMAX cinemas.

 5) The production budget for this film was roughly around $288.5 million, however they made around $379.8 million at the box office, meaning they didn't make much profit.

 6) I would think Black Widow to be a relatively successful Hollywood Blockbuster as though many enjoyed it and thought it be a truly enjoyable watch, the revenue the film received wasn't nearly as close to the many other Marvel films produced and it was released during covid so it didn't have a chance to fully launch to cinemas and to be enjoyed and properly watched by a fairly big enough audience.

 7) The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification).

 8) Black Widow was given an age rating of 12A as it didn't contain may violent/ or graphic scenes and Marvel usually tries to keep all their films within a large age range to widen their audience and ensure those of all ages can watch and indulge in their films.

 9) Audience interaction is so important in this day and age for modern film marketing as audiences nowadays are all active on social media and though it can be a wide platform, word gets around quite quickly, so having lots of raw reviews spread across social media can be seen as a form of free advertisement for many newly released films. People tend to take word from peers in similar age to them, so having teenagers, and adults posting reviews on a film they enjoyed watching, can influence others to take their advice, which ultimately promotes the film.

 10) In addition to the typical billboard advertisement and posters, Black Widow was promoted across in may ways to try and reach everyone and make sure everyone has come across the name and watched it at least once. Major TikTok influencers paired up with Disney to promote the movie. Marvel reposted a viewers review on the movie onto a billboard which got the attention of many.
