>>Ah, no, that's not the point. Me being grumpy doesn't change the facts. Hollywood is the Walmart of cinematography. Similar mechanism applies to pretty much anything else.

>It's the studios that advertise the movies. Hollywood studios advertise in foreign countries when movies are released there as well.

So anyone trying to push a foreign movie has to compete with only the whole Hollywood? The distributors are still independent and can show whatever they want, but will usually go with what they think will sell better, eh?

This has created a system where the winner takes all. You can't expect the quality of a movie to be always proportional to the financial clout of the studio. There will never be a Georgian or Nigerian movie distributed here.
