Blockbuster Movies and Long Tail Movies by Brad Law


Featuring Mega Hit Films Inc., film and movie investments, funding and financing and The Movie Matrixs, the best independent films online

Long Tail movies are on the opposite spectrum of blockbuster and mega-hit films and movies. The point of the long tail is not to ignore the hits, but to make available more.

The importance of the exclusivity of the blockbuster movies has been challenged recently by Chris Anderson's long tail theory that you can make money in many creative industries by selling specialized products to niche markets identified via the Internet. The belief is that when costs of production and distribution decrease (as in, what is happening right now), new long tail markets emerge.

Mega Hit Films Inc. is making money on both sides of the fence. Mega Hit Films Inc. produces blockbusters movies on a shoestring, low budget blockbuster films and from time to time makes niche films that have their own Long Tail market. Everyday there are more and more options found on the internet to watch movies that meet niche market interests in films and movies which gives more opportunities for Independent filmmakers to enjoy artistic and financial success. People are still packing the theater to watch blockbusters, as well as more people are renting movies that interest them. (Domestic box office for January and February was up 13%) Admissions rose nearly 10%! This is where the theory of the Long Tail comes into play. Anderson argues that there are far more entertainment options available to consumers today than there were in the past, and those with interests in a certain niche markets now have those interests catered to as well as enjoying the blockbusters.

One such entertainment option is online distribution in the form of online video streaming. The www.MovieMatrixs.com is leading what it calls the online revolution in the film industry by creating an online distribution hub for high quality independent movies and documentaries.

More new low-cost distribution channels open daily, from DVD to digital downloads, all a person needs to be a filmmaker today is talent and of course money. Megahit Films arranges financing for filmmakers. The Long Tail effect is great news to any guerrilla filmmakers; Many whom are knocking at the doors of Mega Hit Films and yes we are financing the movies and films that can make money in the theaters and later on in the Long Tail, making money on both sides of the fence for Mega Hit Films and offering great long term entertainment for consumers. The Long Tail market sure makes a lot more entertainment available to the public with many varied interests. There is a filmmaker out there to fill every need and you will see them shooting their films everywhere.

There are plenty of filmmakers out there with an art and passion for their craft but many are scrambling for money. They max out on their credit cards and their ATM spits out their last "zero balance" slip. But there is still hope as Mega Hit Films always has their eyes open for inspiring, innovative and thought-provoking filmmakers. Mega Hit Films is looking for a long string of great movies from the talented filmmakers that the company has signed contracts with. Money has dried up for filmmakers, which is why Mega Hit Films opened its doors for filmmakers with mega hits and blockbusters on their hands. Mega Hit Films represents ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWI). Many of these (UHNWI) have made money earlier in life, and a lot of these (UHNWI) want to do something other than pure philanthropy. Some have a mission and want to make a "statement" through film with movie stories; from culture to politics and everything in between. Mega Hit Films has a long-term financial commitment with (UHNWI). This marriage between ultra-high net worth individuals and Mega Hit Films enables the filmmakers to focus their energies on finding and creating great film projects while helping the actors, producers and directors they work with to do what they do best: create compelling and innovative films.

Ultra-high net worth individuals have found a fun, "expensive" but profitable business in the movie business and wow, they get to hang out with the stars!

The movies that are now getting major distribution are English language movies. Movies shot in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. The movie business is a global business and to earn big money with blockbusters and long tail movies a producer has to produce films today with the global market in mind.

Mega Hit Films Inc. would rather make ten movies at $10 million each rather than to invest $100 million in one big bet on a potential blockbuster, as $100 million dollar major studio films flop from time to time. Mega Hit Films also see the potential success of super low budget films of half-million to $1 million dollars especially now with the Long Tail market.

Mega Hit Films is privileged to have Mr. Richard Wallace as the president and CEO of the company, his principal executive responsibilities involve overseeing all aspects of film finance, production, distribution, strategic planning, and contractual affairs; the "green-lighting" of all feature film projects; the negotiation of any bank financing if required and sophisticated global co-production transactions; supervision of all domestic and foreign distribution agreements; and oversight of all production budgets and major contract negotiations.

Did you know? Independent films return billions in profits to their investors. Funded privately, they set new records in box office grosses and annual growth rates year after year!
