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 2

It is difficult to provide an exact number of movies made each year as the film industry is vast and diverse, with productions happening globally across various platforms. However, according to the Motion Picture Association, around 700-800 films are released theatrically in the United States annually, not accounting for the numerous independent and international films. Additionally, with the rise of streaming services and digital platforms, the number of movies being produced each year is likely increasing.

Answer 3

Number of produced movies in different parts of the world is clearly changed every year. Acording to Screen Digest "Top 50 countries ranked by number of feature films produced, 1997, 2003-2007" the number of produced movies in the western world (US, Australia, Japan, South Korea and Europe include Russion Federation) par a year was:

- around 2000 movies in 1997 (767 in US),

- around 2500 movies in 2007 (453 in US).

Number of produced movies was growing differently in former third world (rest of Asia, Mexico and South America, Africa):

- around 1400 movies in 1997 (697 in India),

- around 2400 movies in 2007 (1164 in India).

Answer 4

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 5

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.
