Factors Contributing to Movie Publicity One might argue that the movie quality would be the key determinant in
a successful launch of a movie. After all if a movie is of high
quality then through instruments like the media and general word of
mouth the launch of the movie should be successful but this is not
necessarily the case. Nowadays the marketing as well as the quality
have to be in good shape. In Hollywood the market is highly
competitive movie marketing is more crucial than it has ever been.
‘Developments in technology and communications have helped make
marketing an equal partner in Hollywood’s equation for box office
success. Years ago, good films could find their audience no matter how
they started out.’[1] In the year 2000 the movie industry spent around
$2 billion on movie marketing. One of the main factors of a successful
movie launch is publicity but there are a number of other important
factors to consider when launching a movie successfully which include
movie release dates (timing), movie theme (category),
media/advertising budget, distribution strategy and cast.
Movies today are extremely expensive to make and are typically financed through either film studio contracts or from investors willing to take a risk.

What components make a movie successful in cinema? Filmmakers have crafted a formula to successfully deliver the hero narrative. This formula consists of the hero’s journey and archetypes. Hero films typically follow a ten-step sequence to properly set up and execute the hero’s journey. These movies range from stories of transformations, searches, or a journey back home. Archetypes are used to employ character profile as well as add variety and depth to these stories. Ridley Scott directed Alien, in which Ellen Ripley embarks on a journey where she must survive an alien who is out on a murderous rampage and return back to Earth. Alien adds originality to its storyline by choosing a female lead instead of a male, but the film still incorporates the same heroic attributes that make a story successful. In this “going home journey” film, Scott is able to incorporate the hero’s journey and the official hero archetype towards the heroine Ellen Ripley.
