Hollywood's holiday blues
Article Abstract:
The US Hollywood motion picture season is critical for the industry and lasts from just before Thanksgiving weekend to Jan 2nd. There were a number of disappointments in the 1998 to 1999 season. The number of family movies competing against each other was unusually large. Ireland has become an important theme. Successful movies tended to have a clear focus on their target audiences. Comedies promoting feel-good sentiments tended to perform well.
