    1. Action movies typically feature fast-paced fight scenes, side characters dying, CGI effects, and an antagonist that must be overcome by skilled combat characters often wearing armor. 2. They appeal to wide audiences worldwide seeking diversion. 3. Black Widow's release during the COVID-19 pandemic made much less than other Marvel movies as fewer people went to cinemas due to lockdowns and virus fears, so it was also released on Disney+ simultaneously, leading to piracy issues.

    Action Movies — 11/5/23

    Task on Entry
    1. What tropes would you expect to see in an action movie?
    I would expect to see fight/fast-paced scenes, a side character dying, CGI, and
    some sort of antagonist that must be overcome. Characters usually wear armor
    of some sort and are skilled at combat.

    2. Why are action films so successful worldwide?


    Action movies attract a mass audience and appeal to a large variety of people
    seeking Diversion.

    Star Power
    Star power is when people are attracted to watch a movie because an actor they like
    is inside of it. This means that the film’s success is driven by the appearance of that
    actor in the movie. This could also apply for directors. The audience may not even
    know what the movie is about, and their reason to watch it is to see the
    director/actor’s work.

    Distribution
    This is how a movie is released.

    1. Trailer: Free to watch and creates excitement for the movie.

    2. Cinema release: The movie releases in theaters.

    3. Paid digital download: The movie can be downloaded for a price on services
    such as iTunes, Disney+, Netflix etc.

    4. DVD release: The movie is released to be purchased as a DVD.

    Black Widow did not follow this model.

    1. Cinema and release on Disney+: The movie was released in cinemas and the
    Disney+ platform at the same time.

    2. Paid digital download and DVD release.

    Black Widow’s Release


    Black Widow’s release was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and made
    much less than other Marvel movies that were released before the pandemic. Since
    less people were going to the cinemas to watch movies due to lockdowns and fear of
    the virus, Disney released the movie on their streaming platform, Disney+, as well.
    Piracy was also a problem as people could easily access the movie on the platform.
    People could watch Black Widow for free on piracy websites, and because of this,
    Black Widow made $379.8 million worldwide, with a $200 million budget. Therefore,
    it made $179.8 million in profit. This is very low compared to movie under the Marvel
    brand. The Winter Soldier, which released years before the pandemic in 2014, made
    $714.4 million. With approximately a $180 million budget, the movie made almost
    half a billion in profit.
