Abstract

This paper explores the complex dynamics of film distribution and audience reception in global markets. The study delves into the multifaceted processes that contribute to the international success of films, including the strategic decisions made by distributors, the cultural adaptation of content, and the diverse preferences of audiences across various regions. It examines how changes in technological platforms, such as the rise of streaming services, have reshaped the distribution landscape and their impact on both traditional and emerging markets. Additionally, the paper investigates the role of marketing and promotional campaigns in influencing audience perceptions and the subsequent box office performance of films. The analysis highlights the challenges faced by filmmakers and distributors in navigating the global film industry, emphasizing the importance of market research, localization, and cross-cultural understanding to achieve sustainable success.
