How many movies are made each year?

Answer 1

Th MPAA keeps current statistics on this. Go to http://www.mpaa.org/policy/industry.

North American movie releases for 2007, 2008 and 2009, were 609, 633 and 558 respectively. The downturn in 2009 was the first decline since 2003 and was due to labour issues in 2007-8 and the recession.

Answer 3

The number of movies that are made in Hollywood each year tends to vary depending on the year. One year could be filled with blockbuster films, while another is heavy with award-worthy films too.

Answer 4

Hollywood, referring to the "Big 6" (Warners, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Disney, etc) and the 10-12 "Mini-Majors, make & release a total of approximately 120-150 movies/year.

These 16-18 companies also acquire (aka: pickup) an additional 40-60 independent films/year that they release.

Thus, the answer is approximately 200 MOVIES/YEAR.
