commercial cinema
Commercial cinema refers to films produced primarily for profit, targeting a wide audience. These movies often feature popular genres like action, romance, and comedy, and are designed to attract large viewership in theaters. The goal is to maximize box office revenue, often leading to significant marketing campaigns and merchandise tie-ins.
In commercial cinema, studios like Warner Bros. and Disney play a crucial role in financing and distributing films. Successful commercial films often lead to sequels or franchises, as seen with series like Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars. This approach shapes the film industry, influencing trends and audience expectations.
