Disney is not a monopoly but they are certainly part of an oligopoly. They control a huge amount of the supply and the world's biggest franchises of course it's show them or die. I thought that argument was a bit week but overall great video
It's the people who stole the camera tech from Edison and fled to California to avoid the fed before transportation was easy to go find them. Not My problem tho.
Good to see Michael from Economics Explained is alive and well, I was beginning to think the governments ranking at the bottom of the EE leader-board had finally got to him!
In some ways, it is great and brings attention to specific words and points - but when overused it's distracting, and the spinning of the frame is indeed dizzying
Please consider not using that heavily animated text that twists and turns. Your videos are calm and informative. I don't need my eyes to have to move like a rollercoaster just to follow the video
Just adding my two cents if EE is reading this : if you have a chunk of text make it normal, but if you have title or something very short it's okay in my book, for example at 3:20, that's a cool way to show your title and 3:50 that's also a nice presentation. However at 5:56 that's too much, i would prefer to have the whole text in one go. Plus for people who are not native english speaker, it helps to pause the video and read in their own time the text.
Is it me or is he also just talking at like a super speedy way? And exactly I love EE because of how calm and informative they are which helps a lot especially if it's something quite complex being talked about. Sorry Economics man but this new style ain't it :(
At one time I worked as an IT accounting systems coordinator. Working with the accounting team through many month-end closings, they would tell accounting "war stories" from time-to-time about how the boundaries of accounting had been stretched at one time or another. My favorite had to do with the Hollywood company which had booked its prostitution expenses to the limousine rental account. During an audit, the auditor looked at the amount they were spending on limousine rental and made the recommendation that they purchase rather than rent limousines to save money.
BWAHAHHAHAHA! I worked as a Production Coordinator and Production Supervisor in film for 15 years. I imagine it was a lot harder before Airbnb. For exceptionally high-end “talent”, productions could usually find a “charter jet” company. But honestly most of the time the actor or producer just paid for it themselves, production staff just got tapped to “find” the talent. Which was probably awkward. Not like I ever had to do it working my way up in the indie and studio industry……..
I heard the other day that music productions often had a "fade-out specialist" budgeted who was flown in from overseas... And that covered the coke consumed in the studio.
I know you just learned it, but please don't use the "kinetic typography". or at least not so much, especially in the middle of the videos. doing it once at the beginning might be okay. And for a video about Hollywood investors I assumed there would be way more about human trafficking and demon worship.
@@thephilosopher7173 No it's not opaque. Trafficking and demon worship are in arms race phase. A rivalry of Hollywood vs South Los Angeles. Trust/Offshore Fund trafficker vs MS-13 trafficker Baphomet cult vs Cipactli cult
@@simonpetrikov3992 The more the avg person believes that things like this are simply beyond them, the more these ppl get away with it. For if it is supernatural you're only possible solution would be a being who likewise is this way. But if you depend on such a being then you have nothing to worry about since you can't do anything. But thats not logical, because we can do something, and therefore its not supernatural.
Disney can never be a true monopoly for one simple reason: They can't stop other people from making movies. They don't control the means of production or distribution that they can keep others from using, they merely own lots of popular IPs. IPs are just ideas and it's impossible for anyone to monopolise ideas, so to complete with Disney you need better ideas.
Several intelligent people are terrible investors because they face the market with untrained psychology and untamed emotions. . You need to keep raw, irrational emotion under control.
Really wish I knew what I know now several years ago in my early 20's. Investing today is priceless because tomorrow isn't promised, trading bit-coins, gold, silver and crypto secures a better future financially.

The new editing techniques are cool, but I don't think they're a good fit for this type of video. Slower and calmer is better, this new style is a little frantic and busy.
Yeah, this seemed so backwards to me. "Here's an example of them acting like a monopoly. But they're technically not a monopoly so that means everything is fine." Uh, what?
@@comik300 That made sense. They are not a monopoly because the movie theaters can show other movies. They don't NEED to show Disney movies, but can chose other studio's, hence no monopoly. But because the Disney movies are so anticipated, the cinemas not showing the movies will simply lose many customers. Yes, they wouldn't make money with the tickets sells, but still sell drinks and snacks, which does provide an income. And any other movie they could show instead of the Disney movie, will never be visited as often and thus likely make less money. So, it's not a monopoly, although Disney acts like they have one and the cinemas don't really have a choice.
@@lubue5795 yeah, Disney is a part of a Oligopoly, not a monopoly, but EE made it seem like it's "Free Market"... No, he literally said "it's because it's a free market and Disney's movies are really good". It's less of a "AKSCHUALLY" pedantic correction and more of a misleading correction.
The power of long running franchises seemingly taking hold of some consumers due to nostalgia or just simple comfort despite the quality - gaming the system of a fandom's demand.
Just taking a moment to feed that RUclips Algorithm. Also, you're going a more than a bit overboard with the kinetic typing. A little bit is okay but too much and people start developing headaches. I guess what I am saying is that moderation is the key.
I feel like this is very similar to Tom Scott's video: RUclipsrs have to declare ads. Why doesn't anyone else? Still very important subject since endorsement laws are nothing but fair.
I think we can all agree that kinetic typography is a horrible thing that must end right now. Your content is of great quality, it doesn't need distractions to hide an actual lack of content, it is full of it.
Welcome back, we missed you. Great video as always. I'm an accountant and these things are incredibly interesting. 100% spot on with your facts and descriptions.
States and countries do have another incentive for MPI's: A location heavy blockbuster can act as basically a 2 hour long tourism advert. A lot of New Zealand's increase in tourism can be attributed to Lord of the Rings. So if you incentivise movies to shoot at stunning locations in your country or state, and then make sure everyone who sees the movie knows where it was filmed, you can have a lasting legacy of increased tourism, especially if the movie is a massive hit. Though to be fair there are a lot of cases where the location isn't disclosed or is even hidden to pretend it is somewhere else.
Not anymore, and in fact New Zealand and Peter Jackson are who started the trend. We now include tourism boards where we shoot in the end credits for just about every film that gets an MPI.
@@georgeadams1347 I don't think LOTR were the first films to use MPI's in exchange for a tourism boost. In fact it seems that the US was the first to really use the strategy around the early 90's, where states would compete and some would market film locations as tourist attractions. LOTR is probably one of the biggest examples outside the US, but it's not the only one, and probably isn't the first.
@@Croz89 LOTR was the trend setter exactly because of it’s success. MPI’s had been around since the early 90’s but only a very small fraction of films shot primarily outside of the LA and NYC production zones. Starting with LOTR that trend started to change. Namely because Peter Jackson proved that we could manage the logistics and that places outside of California and New York had talented crew bases. I didn’t start working in film and TV until 2005 and that was largely as a PA but you heard about the trend line of productions basing out of different states and countries. Vancouver BC had become a production hub by the time I started in the industry. Atlanta was still years away from it’s ascension and Weta and Jackson’s production company were just getting going.
@@georgeadams1347 Big budget films would regularly do location shoots outside of the TMZ, it only tended to be cheaper films that stuck to those locations. LOTR may be when such a strategy entered the public consciousness, but it likely wasn't the first. And from what I heard, LOTR was originally going to film in the UK, because it had most of the landscapes required, it's the home of the author of the books, and it has a reputable film industry with world class studios.

Great video quality and glad to have you back! Please consider making a summary at the end of your videos. Just like how you make a content breakdown at the beginning, it really is crucial for a well-rounded presentation
Excellent video, as always! Fantastic quality and research, but I do agree that the kinetic typography is kind of distracting. I like the animated graphs quite a bit though!
@Economics Explained will you make an episode in which you explain what your research method is and the sources that you usually use to create the incredible content you make! Thank you!
I've been keep coming back to your channel looking if I missed a video. Where were you? We missed you bro :D I learned so much from this channel about economy of everything. Keep up the awesome work
In 2019 (pre covid) disney made 10 movies. 792 movies were released in the us and canada. Disney are not a monopoly (single seller). They just have a huge box office because their films are very popular.
Monopoly doesn't mean big company, in means a company that controls most of the market. IE, Google has a search engine monopoly. Most of the movie industry is consolidated into a small few studios, but none of those studios on their own rises to the level of a 'monopoly'. If you went to a movie theater rn, and counted all the movies being shown, Disney would probably constitute ~30% of the films. It's a huge share and a lot of control, but plainly calling them a monopoly is an absolutely insane take
I work in the movie industry lol, but my side passion is randomly in economics and business, my channel is also finance, so this was like the perfect video for me
The fact that Disney can force those pricing agreements makes them a monopoly at least in spirit. It does point to the fact that many of our largest dominating companies (which are acting like monopolies) are there because the public wants them so much. Amazon, Google, Disney; thei all succeed because they give the consumers what they want. But they also do (or at minimum threaten) great damage to the society through their outsized control. I'm not sure how to address that.
Mr. Economics Explained Man: Super glad to see new videos from you guys again! A couple of things though, personal preference: not crazy about the kinetic typography thing, but whatever, your house your rules, I’ll get over myself. Would be cool if you used it a bit less than that. The other thing, you talked about Massachusetts while showing the Texas state capitol building, flag and all. Lol
Why is nobody talking about Cruptocurrency at this moment? It's on a bull run and a lot of people are defintely gonna miss out on that just like the last time
I bet SkillShare is as good as everyone claims..but man you must be talented af! Those kinetic typo animations look really good! I had to practice like 1-2 hours every day for 2-3 months to learn this animation xD
You forgot to mention how much influence and ownership China has in the US film industry, and especially how it applies to the type of content being produced.
Yeah, I really enjoy his videos but its clear he doesn't understand tax codes and systems. It reminds me of his video on wealth gaps and the active income tax is so high. But he didn't understand that for a wealth gap he should be looking at the passive income tax rate. Economists are good in theory, accountants are good in practice.

The video started with a mention of Keynesian economics and ended with a great insight about free market economy. How ironically great.!
"In Massachusetts for example..." we have the state capital of Texas. Is this a Road Trip reference where characters get confused between Boston and Austin?
Noticed it too 😅
A yes Texas we swapped with New England.
Informative. Thank you.
Me: Wandering around RUclips
E.E: Hello there
Me: *Intense hyperventilation in excitement*
Great video quality and glad to have you back! Please consider making a summary at the end of your videos. Just like how you make a content breakdown at the beginning, it really is crucial for a well-rounded presentation
Huh, there was just a Tom Scott video about the disclosure stuff. Interesting.
This. This is the video I needed.
Excellent video, as always! Fantastic quality and research, but I do agree that the kinetic typography is kind of distracting. I like the animated graphs quite a bit though!
This upload come when we needed it most
Calling the Sequel trilogy "great movies" feels dirty...
Well it is great from a certain point of view ; a Financial one
I m really happy you are back I was checking your other channel and those channel were also dead which made me worry what happened
Thanks for the concern mate, I was just taking a bit of time off for myself and also to work on new charts and graphs for the video's.
A video on Hollywood, interesting indeed, Then I can guess that next video will be Economics of digital streaming (like Netflix and Disney+)
He's back! I love hiking the Hollywood sign. It's really fun
@Economics Explained will you make an episode in which you explain what your research method is and the sources that you usually use to create the incredible content you make! Thank you!
I might have called this video How Jack & Jill needed a budget of 80 million. But your title is clearer.
Pls don‘t spin the text around as much it feels like a rollercoaster
When EE mentions the economics of 20$ popcorn! You sir, you deserve a medal
Wow he isn't dead
Cue 0:06
"Impressive definetely,
Suprising probably not"
I've been keep coming back to your channel looking if I missed a video. Where were you? We missed you bro :D I learned so much from this channel about economy of everything. Keep up the awesome work
Now this is what you call a high quality video!
Probably thanks to skillshare?
How did you come here?!
THAT KINETIC TEXT IS AWEFUL - IT’S A COOL IDEA BUT, IN PRACTICE, IT’S UNPLEASANT. THAT BEING SAID, I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. CHEERS.
EE: Hollywood will probably never make a movie about Hollywood accounting.
The Producers (1967, 2005) has entered the chat.
That is Broadway accounting.
This is the video I was looking for years,more love form 🇺🇬
Loving the refreshed looked mate! Will there be a Hollywood sequel!?
haha we will see my friend, hopefully I can turn it into a franchise, that's where the true tendies are these days.
Thanks for the added animations. Your videos are much easier to follow now.
0:47 , 3:53 , those parts are intense and maybe too much but I like the moving graphs and other parts :) thx for the nice video
Hopefully yall believe me now when i say yall are the best economics channel on RUclips... trust me i looked
Cool, now I know the name of the typography animation style that really distracts from interesting videos.
Brothers and sisters HE’S BACK!!!
Saying Disney isn’t a monopoly is an absolutely insane take
In 2019 (pre covid) disney made 10 movies. 792 movies were released in the us and canada. Disney are not a monopoly (single seller). They just have a huge box office because their films are very popular.
You don't understand the meaning of monopoly
Monopoly doesn't mean big company, in means a company that controls most of the market. IE, Google has a search engine monopoly. Most of the movie industry is consolidated into a small few studios, but none of those studios on their own rises to the level of a 'monopoly'. If you went to a movie theater rn, and counted all the movies being shown, Disney would probably constitute ~30% of the films. It's a huge share and a lot of control, but plainly calling them a monopoly is an absolutely insane take
Love this video, nice to see the cool new graphics. Keep up the awesome videos so we can keep watching!
What a madlad! He learned Kinetic Typography and Drawing on Skillshare while he was away just to be honest about his sponsorship.
Ok, you are back ....thanks ....greetings from Iceland
The funny New Zealander is back, he's not dead!
Love the new animations and nice to see you again
Not a fan of the rotating words. It's hard to follow, simple still text is much better.
I work in the movie industry lol, but my side passion is randomly in economics and business, my channel is also finance, so this was like the perfect video for me
the rotating text makes me dizzy
hey mate, your one of my favourite channels on youtube.
thanks for the content!
The fact that Disney can force those pricing agreements makes them a monopoly at least in spirit.
It does point to the fact that many of our largest dominating companies (which are acting like monopolies) are there because the public wants them so much. Amazon, Google, Disney; thei all succeed because they give the consumers what they want. But they also do (or at minimum threaten) great damage to the society through their outsized control.
I'm not sure how to address that.
The production quality is amazing
Mr. Economics Explained Man:
Super glad to see new videos from you guys again! A couple of things though, personal preference: not crazy about the kinetic typography thing, but whatever, your house your rules, I’ll get over myself. Would be cool if you used it a bit less than that. The other thing, you talked about Massachusetts while showing the Texas state capitol building, flag and all. Lol
Why is nobody talking about Cruptocurrency at this moment? It's on a bull run and a lot of people are defintely gonna miss out on that just like the last time
Bitcoin Trading is the best thing I've ever done since the inception of Cryptocurrency
@Joanna Maidlow Yeah no doubt the crypto market has earned me alot you just gotta understand the market
Crypto is the new gold
@@alexanderhamilton2252 Yeah investing in crypto is a big chance to make money nowadays
@@chrisremero3277 I've got interest in investing but afraid of doing it on my own to avoid loss from my end
I bet SkillShare is as good as everyone claims..but man you must be talented af! Those kinetic typo animations look really good! I had to practice like 1-2 hours every day for 2-3 months to learn this animation xD
Also the content is great as always :)
I love this channel! Thank you for opening our eyes to all the hidden economics around us.
Best video I’ve watched on YT in a while
You forgot to mention how much influence and ownership China has in the US film industry, and especially how it applies to the type of content being produced.
16:40 If you're adding back depreciation and amortization, then you should also subtract capital expenditures.
Yeah, I really enjoy his videos but its clear he doesn't understand tax codes and systems. It reminds me of his video on wealth gaps and the active income tax is so high. But he didn't understand that for a wealth gap he should be looking at the passive income tax rate. Economists are good in theory, accountants are good in practice.
