_______________________________
In 1853, one adobe hut stood on the site that became Hollywood. By
1870, an agricultural community flourished in the area with thriving
crops. In the 1880s, Harvey Henderson Wilcox of Kansas, who made a
fortune in real estate even though he had lost the use of his legs due
to typhoid fever, and his wife, Dae Ida, moved to Los Angeles from
Topeka. In 1886, Wilcox bought 160 acres (0.6 km²) of land in the
countryside to the west of the city at the foothills and the Cahuenga
Pass. A locally popular etymology is that the name Hollywood traces to
the ample stands of native Toyon, or "California Holly," that cover the
hillsides with clusters of bright red berries each winter. But this and
accounts of the name coming from imported English holly then
growing in the area are not confirmed. There is some disagreement as
to who was the first to name the place Hollywood. One account says
that the name was coined by H. J. Whitley, the Father of Hollywood. He
and his wife Gigi reportedly came up with the name in 1886 while on
their honeymoon (from Margaret Virginia Whitley’s memoir). Another
account is that Mrs. Wilcox coined the name in 1883; while on a train
she became acquainted with a wealthy lady who often spoke of her
country home named after a settlement of Dutch immigrants from
Zwolle called "Hollywood", and when she returned to Los Angeles she
so named her country place.
By 1900, the community called Cahuenga also had a post office, a
newspaper, a hotel and two markets, along with a population of 500.
Los Angeles, with a population of 100,000 people at the time, lay

seven miles (11 km) east through the citrus groves. A single-track
streetcar line ran down the middle of Prospect Avenue from Los
Angeles, but service was infrequent and the trip took two hours. The
old citrus fruit packing house would be converted into a livery stable,
improving transportation for the inhabitants of Hollywood.

There are so many values we get from the two big movie industries.
Here we have categorized their values under some categories to make
it easier to understand.
Entertainment: The main, core value we get from Hollywood
is basically the entertainment. After a very hard week people
are willing to get a bit of fun and enjoyment by going to the
theatre and spend a relaxed time.
Message: there are lots of movies have been produced
focusing on the social issues, cultural factors, ethics, and
regular life a certain society. These movies play a great role in
delivering the message of different aspects of the society, to
the society. Here are some examples of those movies that has
played a great role in addressing the society:
Social Message: “One Beautiful Day”
Ethical Message: “Life is Beautiful”,
“Philadelphia”
Cultural Message: “Gangs of New York”
Figure: Ethical messages by Philadelphia movie
Awareness: There are some legendary movies that have
been made to create awareness among the people. These
movies have delivered a so many messages to bring a aware
Page 4 of 43
society, and create a differentiation from others. Some
Examples are:
Philadelphia
Day After Tomorrow
The Titans
Fahrenheit 9/11 and many others
Stars / Icons: Icons, the role models or the main attraction of
the Hollywood Business. Names that don’t need to be spelled
out, they are called Icons, stars. Most of the time some
movies become a super hit just because they were in it.
Without Tom Cruse “Mission Impossible” would have been
impossible. Without Silvestre Stallone “Rocky” would not had
that much success to make 5 super hit movies, or with out
Neo (Keanu Reeves) “Matrix Trilogy” just would not have been
as blockbuster as it is. So basically they are the jewels of the
Hollywood. Many fans just want to see those movies that have
their favorite star in it.

Superheroes: In America every little boys dream is to
become just like his superhero. The concepts of these
superheroes were limited inside the comic books. Now they
have become a reality, by the help of the technology.
Hollywood stepped in to the new generation of movies
making. This is called value innovation.

Spiderman,
Batman,
Cat-women,

It is obvious that Hollywood movies are not made generally
considering any particular segment of viewers. But sometimes it is
done for the minorities [African Americans], or “Animation
movies” are for the children. In general Hollywood has a vast
number of target market, Such as:
World wide viewers
Ages 5 to 13 [Animation Movies]
African Americans [movies made for the Black
people]

__________ : We
see that all the viewers are paying the same price for a ticket. The
Strategy for the Value pricing is Win-Win Situation. The viewers are
willing to go to the theater for a Value, which is excitement, and they
do it in all the weekends. If they felt that the pricing is higher than they

Hollywood
could effort, they would not have been enjoying it at all. Though they
seems to be satisfied, Hollywood is considering the Win-Win situation,
and that’s why they have been going with the concept Value Pricing.
Also we can see that people who love t have a collection of movies, are
spending the money for purchasing DVD’s, CD’s, and other Hard copies
that are available. They are paying for each of their purchasing. On a
survey it has been found that they are all happy with the prices of their
product. People are also getting to purchase their movies by home
delivery, and loyal membership in certain DVD stores is a huge value
for the viewers of the Hollywood movies. They are offering a huge
movie packages for a special occasion. Overall it is for sure that the
viewers are happy with the pricing strategy of Hollywood movies. One
more pricing that is liked by the viewers is, On-line purchase. That
gives the better benefit to those movie lovers, who are unable to go to
the theater, but have a huge passion for those. Certain web sites like
“E-bay” are giving them the opportunity to collect their favorite
movies.
___________
In case of any movie making industry, they are not basically dealing
directly with delivering the value. They have to fully rely on the other
parties, such as Movie theaters, DVD, VCD makers. Theaters are
situated in every city, and every theater are paying higher price to
show those movies. Televisions channels are not lacking behind in this
case, they are delivering the values on behalf of Hollywood. In some
Page 10 of 43
cases the leaders of certain city are offering the open air movies for
his/her community. This is also a value delivery.

___________
This is the most effective and Eye Catching part for Hollywood. How to
position their values in the mind of the prospect/viewer/customers is a
very important task. Only making movies are not going to be helpful at
all. Why the people will watch the movies, what will remind them to
watch the movie and where to go for that, are all relies on Value
Proposition. There are lots of ways for Hollywood, but here are some
points to make it clear:
Billboards: It is needless to state that the main
entrance of movie theaters is always colorful, and full of
life. When anybody passing by the theaters, they will
obviously look at the colorful pictures, and thus the
message is passed.
Publicity: Before a movie or film is released, all the
movie stars and the organizers are holding a press
release, or an introduction, or a premier show, where
publicity is occurring. Word of Mouth [WOM] is one of
the biggest publicity for any Movie maker.
Television: There are now more than hundreds of TV
channels by the help of Science and technology.
Hollywood is totally utilizing these channels and
promoting themselves by the trailers of new movies. In
addition, these channels are telecasting the hit movies
for their own surviving. Thus, they are actually helping
in the promotion, and proposition for Hollywood. Some
renowned channels are:

The Theaters: Those film lovers who seek the biggest
excitements, and enjoy the full thrill of the movie for the
first time, theaters are there for them. The smell of pop-
corn, and sipping the cold drinks, and enjoying the
movie sitting next to the closest people, are the main
picture of a theater. Theaters are the provider of the
biggest screen play for Hollywood movie. They do
promote Hollywood more than any other media. A
theater is one of the major places for the movie makers
where they get to know the success or failure story of
their movie. The viewers, who go to the theater, are the
biggest opportunity as well as threat for the movie
makers. The WOM from them will create a huge buzz in
the market. Success and failure at a first shot will
depend on their comments, because the inanimate
environment includes other Potential viewers, who will
get influenced by these comments.

ii. W (Weakness) – for the Hollywood the weakness is
Social/family bonding like in western culture they don’t
have any Social/family bonding after some age which
is a major reason for there weakness because many
people don’t like this system but in Hollywood movie
when people the Social/family bonding is not
measurable, so some people can not accept it and this
is the weakness for them.
iii. O (Opportunity) – The opportunity of Hollywood is the
world wide target market. All the people of the world
like Hollywood movie and they are entertain by it and
this is the strong opportunity for Hollywood industry.
Moreover there advanced technology and various type
of story is also an opportunity for them.
iv. T (Threat) – Hollywood did there business very well
last few years but now the Bollywood create some
problem because Bollywood booming there business
which is the major threat for them as well as piracy is
one of the major problem of there industry like any
new movie when come in market then people piracy
that movie and it goes all over the world for this
reason Hollywood don’t get money.
The way both Hollywood prefers to build brand equity through the
leverage of secondary brand association.
Page 18 of 43
___________
Co- branding
Hollywood often uses other existing brands to combine a joint image or
market for both the viewers and the certain brand users.
Hollywood:
For example movies based on James Bond from Sir Thomas Sean
Connery (1962–1967; 1971) to today’s Daniel Wrought on Craig (2006–
present) it always associated with branded items of vehicles, wrist
watches, mobile phones to firearms. Very posh and expensive brands
starting from Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door sedan (1957), Aston Martin DB5
(1965), Toyota 2000GT (1967-1970), Daimler Limousine (1968–1992),
Black BMW Z8 (2000–2003), Aston Martin DBS to The Omega
Speedmaster, The Omega Seamaster, The Omega Planet Ocean are
used in the movies.

____________
Confidential movie budgets show how those millions are spent:
Gg v paid $1 million, while Culkin earned $100,000 in the role of Gibson's son,
"Morgan Hess." Shyamalan made $12.5 million for writing, directing, and co-
producing the film.
The success of "Signs," which recorded a domestic gross of
about $228 million, surely resulted in a salary spike for
Phoenix, who was paid $5 million for portraying the male
lead, "Lucius Hunt," in 2004's "The Village." The $71.6
million film also starred Brody as "Noah Percy," Weaver as
"Alice Hunt," Howard as "Ivy Walker," and Hurt as "Edward
Walker."
Though his part was originally budgeted for $3 million,
Brody was paid $2.75 million for "The Village," which he
began filming a few months after being awarded the Best Actor Oscar for "The
Pianist." Weaver got $2 million, Hurt $1.25 million, and Howard just $150,000,
according to financial records.
While "The Village" earned about $115 million domestically (and another $140
worldwide), the film bowed to lukewarm reviews. In Slate, Michael Agger wrote
that Shyamalan was continuing to make treacly and formulaic "sealed-off movies
Page 22 of 43
that fell apart when exposed to outside logic." Shyamalan "may have wanted to
be Spielberg," Agger noted, "but money would be the measure of his success."
Whether or not that's the metric which guides Shyamalan, the director earned his
usual fat salary for "The Village." The components of his $10.7 million payday
were: story rights ($7.2 million); writing services ($300,000); producing ($3
million); and directing ($221,000).
FEBRUARY 28--Faced with decreasing box office receipts,
fewer blockbusters, and a reduced production roster, the
motion picture industry is facing several daunting
challenges as it gathers this Sunday for the 78th Academy
Awards ceremony.
But, really, who wants to focus on all that negative stuff
when we can celebrate the lofty salaries, outlandish perks,
and assorted other benefits of being a movie star?
The Smoking Gun has obtained internal budget documents detailing where the
money was allocated on an assortment of big-budget Tinseltown productions.
The records provide a line-by-line account of spending on each movie up to its
completion, but do not reveal what the studio paid after that point for marketing
and advertising (that secondary sum usually adds tens of millions to a movie's
total cost).
Since this is our first posting of such Hollywood records, TSG has decided to
initially focus on a quartet of movies by the same director (M. Night Shyamalan)
and which were distributed by the same studio (Disney's Touchstone). In each
case, the financial documents were circulated up the ranks
at Disney, where a succession of top executives had to sign
off on Shyamalan's $70 million-plus budgets. One memo
marked "confidential" shows that a dozen Disney officials,
including the chairman and CFO of Walt Disney Studios, had
to approve a film's total expenditures.
The budgets each run a minimum of 80 pages, so we've
chosen to excerpt from three of the documents and
reproduce one in its entirety. So cineastes, film school
Page 23 of 43
students, and completists can click here to plow through a line-by-line account of
the $71.6 million tab for Shyamalan's most recent film, "The Village." The
individual budget lines are divided into two categories: "above the line" and
"below the line" expenses. In the "above," or ATL, category, you'll find costs
associated with a film's cast, writer, producer, director, stunts, and story rights.
The remaining expenses--set design, camera rentals, special effects, film, editing,
etc.--are categorized as BTL, or below the line.
Shyamalan is one of the movie industry's most bankable directors, with his four
major films--"The Sixth Sense," "Unbreakable," "Signs," and "The Village"--
achieving an average domestic gross of $160 million, which compares favorably
to numbers rolled up by Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, and the Wachowski
brothers. In terms of revenue, Shyamalan far outpaces better-known
contemporaries like Quentin Tarantino, Tim Burton, Cameron Crowe, Kevin Smith,
and the Farrelly brothers.
His films have featured actors from a revolving troupe drawn from all Hollywood
strata: A-listers (Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis); children (Haley Joel Osment, Rory
Culkin); young stars (Joaquin Phoenix, Adrien Brody, Bryce Dallas Howard);
veterans (William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver); a Tony winner (Cherry Jones); and
Samuel L. Jackson (Samuel L. Jackson). His next film, "Lady in the Water" is
scheduled for a July release and stars Paul Giamatti and Howard. And like his
prior movies, it was filmed in Pennsylvania, where Shyamalan lives.
The budget records track the progression of Shyamalan's paydays following the
runaway success of "The Sixth Sense," for which he was paid about $2.6 million
to write and direct. With nearly $300 million in domestic ticket sales, "The Sixth
Sense" ranks 22nd in terms of all-time box office receipts ("Signs" is at 48 on that
list, with nearly $228 million in ticket sales). In his subsequent three productions,
Shyamalan earned between $10 and $13 million per film. But what the internal
documents do not show is if Shyamalan received a share of any film's "back end,"
which is often customary for major directors and stars. Depending on a movie's
success, such "points" can put millions--perhaps tens of millions--in a principal's
pocket.
Page 24 of 43
Records show that while Bruce Willis made $14
million for "The Sixth Sense," the film's other star,
10-year-old Haley Joel Osment, was a major bargain.
Osment played "Cole Sear," a boy who saw dead
people and was the psychological drama's
emotional core. And one that only cost $150,000. By
comparison, Willis's private jet tab alone was
$450,000 and an unspecified "other allowance" for him was budgeted at
$339,492. Actress Toni Collette, who played Osment's mother, earned $1 million.
For a small role, actress Mischa Barton (later of the Fox TV hit "The O.C.") was
paid $26,050, records show.
Shyamalan's followup, "Unbreakable," carried a $73.2 million budget, though its
U.S. gross ended up just shy of $100 million. However, overseas receipts and
video/DVD sales surely landed the film in the black. Half the film's cost was
attributable to paychecks for Willis ($20 million), Shyamalan ($10 million), and
Jackson ($7 million). Actress Robin Wright Penn earned $2.5 million for her role as
Willis's wife.
But the "Unbreakable" budget is more noteworthy (or entertaining, at least) for
Willis's $1.5 million perk package. While that figure covered on-set staples like a
costumer and makeup artist, the actor, who portrayed morose security guard
David Dunn, also got a personal assistant, masseuse, mobile gym, trainer,
bodyguard, and other "personal perks," including a $500,000 allowance for
private jet charters. By comparison, the perk package for Jackson--who played
comic art enthusiast Elijah Price--was relatively paltry. Jackson only rated first
class airfares to Philadelphia from Los Angeles and a $200 per diem. But his gym
and golf club memberships and his trainer's tab were footed by the production.
The $70.2 million budget for "Signs" was dominated by the whopping $25 million
Mel Gibson was paid for his role as "Graham Ness," a widowed ex-minister
bedeviled by crop circles and an alien. In addition, the actor's entourage
expenses totaled nearly $1 million, with $300,000 of that figure earmarked for
the star's "jet allowance" and another $57,000 for a "chiropractor/masseuse."
Gibson also received in excess of $1000 a day in per diem payments (the
average daily "walking around" money provided for other on-location employees
Page 25 of 43
was $65).

In 1913 it all starts with Raja Harishchandra. It was the first silent
feature film made in India. It was made by Dadasaheb Phalke. By the
1930s, the industry was producing over 200 films per annum. The first
Indian sound film, Ardeshir Irani's Alam Ara (1931), was a super hit.
There was clearly a huge market for talkies and musicals; Bollywood
and all the regional film industries quickly switched to sound filming.
The 1930s and 1940s were tumultuous times: India was buffeted by
the Great Depression, World War II, the Indian independence
movement, and the violence of the Partition. Most Bollywood films
were unabashedly escapist, but there were also a number of
filmmakers who tackled tough social issues, or used the struggle for
Indian independence as a backdrop for their plots.
In the late 1950s, Bollywood films moved from black-and-white to
color. Lavish romantic musicals and melodramas were the staple fare
at the cinema. Successful actors included Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar and
Raj Kapoor. In late 1960s and mid 1970s, romance movies and action
films starred actors like Rajesh Khanna and Dharmendra. In the late
1970s and 1980s, romantic confections made way for gritty, violent
films about gangsters and bandits. Amitabh Bachchan, the star known
for his "angry young man" roles, rode the crest of this trend. In the
early 1990s, the pendulum swung back towards family-centric
romantic musicals with the success of such films as Hum Aapke Hain
Koun (1994) and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995).
Page 27 of 43
The Indian film industry has preferred films that appeal to all segments
of the audience (see the discussion in Ganti, 2004, cited in references),
and has resisted making films that target narrow audiences. It was
believed that aiming for a broad spectrum would maximize box office
receipts. However, filmmakers may be moving towards accepting some
box-office segmentation, between films that appeal to rural Indians
and films that appeal to urban and overseas audiences.

areas do it more frequently than Hollywood. India is mostly
entertainment based country. So they do focus on Bollywood movies
very often. On that occasion, the theaters and TV channels are willingly
delivering the value to the target audience.

The way both Bollywood and Hollywood prefers to build brand equity through the leverage of secondary brand association.
Co- brandingHollywood and Bollywood often uses other existing brands to combine a joint image or market for both the viewers and the certain brand users.
BollywoodIn case of the action movie Dhoom Suzuki GSX1300R helped to enhance the equity.
Page 38 of 43
Ingredient Branding:Again both Hollywood and Bollywood takes the help of another brands by mean of the parts that belong to the movie; such as spots, music, Dress designers and choreographers.
HollywoodAnimation or production house are very important over here and another important aspect is action directors.
BollywoodIn bollywood it’s very common to use branded spots (Morasses, France, New York etc), music (composed or directed by famous artists), Dress designers and choreographers. For example A. R. Rahman is now an international brand. Music composed by A. R. Rahman adds huge customer equity to any movie. It’s proved that just for music some movied had a tremendous success.

Celebrity Endorser:
BollywoodMany famous actresses work for item song rather then in the movie. Their appearance is guest appearance. They help to pick the demand up by their image. For example Aishwarya Rai had made a huge demand for the movie Bunty aur Bubli by performing one item song.

Sholay (advertised in English as Embers, Flames, or Flames of the Sun) is one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Bollywood, India's Mumbai film industry. It was released in 1975 and starred Sanjeev Kumar, Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bhaduri, Hema Malini and Amjad Khan as the timeless villain, Gabbar Singh.
It is the highest grossing film of all time in India. It has earned Rs. 2,36,45,00,000.,[1] equivalent to US$ 60 million, after adjusting for inflation. In 1999, BBC India declared it the "Film of the Millennium"; in 2005, the judges of the 50th annual Filmfare awards called it the best film of the last 50 years.
When first released the film was declared a commercial disaster. Word of mouth convinced movie-goers to give the film a chance and soon it became a box-office phenomenon. It ran for 286 weeks straight in one Mumbai theatre, the Minerva. Sholay racked up a still record 60 golden jubilees across India, and doubled its original gross over reruns during the late 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge also known as DDLJ (English: The One with a Heart Will Take the Bride) is an Indian film which premiered on October 19, 1995 and was released nationwide on October 20, 1995. The film was made by Aditya Chopra, and stars Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, and Amrish Puri. As of April 2007, the film had made the record books by completing 598 weeks of continuous play in Maratha Mandir, a Mumbai cinema. It is still showing there.
There are fisticuffs, comic interludes, and a stern father insisting on an arranged marriage. However, there are also fresh, new elements. Filmed in Switzerland, it was one of the first Bollywood films to feature Indians living outside India.
The film was included in the Cinema India showcase, "The Changing Face of Indian Cinema", which toured the United States in July and August 2004. Film critic Charles Taylor of Salon.com wrote:
