Abstract

The Brazilian film market consists mainly of American films; most of these films are released after their release in the United States, while a few are released before or simultaneously. The recent rapid developments in information and communication technology (ICT) changed film-showing technology to a digital model, improving the possibility of simultaneous worldwide releases. ICT evolution also allowed Brazilian moviegoers to access American critic reviews in real time. We explore this scenario to study whether American critic reviews influence film consumption at theaters in Brazil. We employ regression analysis using data from 1,600 films exhibited in the country between 2007 and 2018 collected from Box Office Mojo and Rotten Tomatoes websites. Controlling for endogeneity problems, we documented a prediction effect of expert reviews on gapped film releases but not an influence effect on simultaneous releases, which correspond to the wide film releases in the United States.
美国影评人评论影响国外电影消费吗?巴西案例
巴西电影市场主要由美国电影组成;这些电影大多是在美国上映后上映的,而少数是在美国之前或同时上映的。最近信息和通信技术的快速发展将电影放映技术转变为数字模式,提高了在全球同时上映的可能性。信息通信技术的发展也使巴西电影观众能够实时访问美国评论家的评论。我们探索这个场景来研究美国评论家的评论是否会影响巴西影院的电影消费。我们使用从票房Mojo和烂番茄网站收集的2007年至2018年间在该国展出的1600部电影的数据进行回归分析。为了控制内生性问题,我们记录了专家评审对有间隙电影上映的预测效应,但对同时上映的影响效应没有,这与美国的广泛电影上映相对应。
