      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

      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.

    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……..

      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.

      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.

    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.

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.

      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.

      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

    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.
