 Walt Disney has had great hits at the cinema. Here is a list of the their most successful box office movies; The avengers (£600 million), The pirates of the Caribbean (400million), finding Nemo (300 million ) so the the figures don’t lie walt Disney have made some great movies. Walt Disney will carry on to make more films in the future.

Who is their competition? CM
 Walt Disney have to keep their game up because their competitors are 20th century fox, warner bros, sony pictures and paramount pictures. All these companies are also some sort of conglomerate.

How are they Structured AM
 Walt Disney is both vertically and horizontally structured. Disney is vertically structured because walt disney owns it's own production company which is Walt disney studios. They also own their own Distribution company which is Buena Vista. Disney are also able to show their film in a cinema due to the fact that they own disney channel so they can display all their films on there.
Disney is also horizontally structured. It is horizontally structured because disney owns their own book company, they own ABC so they can display their own products on that channel and they also own disney music group.


How much are they worth? AM

Walt Disney last year made around $84.186 billion. Disney is a very successful company as you can tell by their income. Disney are the second richest conglomerate in America. The only company that is richer than them is Comcast. Another thing that makes the company very successful is the awards that they have won. Disney has won many awards from the films that they have produced. The highest grossing film that was produced by Disney is Marvels The Avengers. This film broke many different records for the north american box office. Some records that it broke are biggest income for an opening weekend, highest income for an opening week, highest income for a films second weekend. The film was also nominated for 13 people choice awards which it won 3 of. It was also nominated for 6 Saturn award of which it won 4. 

What debates are there about the power of the few media companies? What is my opinion? CM

In my opinion I think it’s scary because there is only 6 companies what own pretty much everything to do with media or entertainment. And the fact they hide it by owning smaller companies and naming them different names is saying they want to hide the fact that they own so much. If people knew this I think they would panic.


What new technologies has the film industry developed? AM
 A big new technology is 4D film. 4D film has developed because now if you go to specific places in the world you can watch films in 4D. 4D is more advanced than 3D because with 3D you wear glasses and it will make you feel like the film is coming out of the screen and you are really there whereas with 4d it also adds thing to it where the audience might feel things that are happening in the film e.g if it was raining in the film you might feel rain drops hitting you or if there are lots of flies you might feel like they're there.
