Why have American films and television dominated world markets?

What will be an ideal response?


ANS: Hollywood can afford to make many films because it can recover the cost in their domestic release in the enormous U.S. market. Because of the heterogeneous nature of the U.S. audience, American films tend to be more entertainment-oriented and more universal films. Moreover, Hollywood studios, through the Motion Picture Association of America, have worked together to promote exports and control overseas distribution networks.
