These phenomena show the unpredictability of film success due to the fact that the cycles, the duration, and the progress of film exploitation are unforeseeable. MythSuccess is the big myth of the international film industry: on the one hand enormous profits, glamour, film stars, red carpet shows at Cannes, Berlin, and Venice - the big film festivals.

This research paper has as main purpose to determine which film model is more convenient for the Mexican film production organizations in the search of increasing the possibilities of spectators to attend and watch their movies. The character that the films have as popular and academic arts and the elements that compose it is analyzed. We study the way in which motion pictures work as cultural tools. We highlight the importance of movies as an entertainment product and how this aspect impacts in the consumption of movie tickets in the box office. Lozano-Barragan syndrome is detailed and how filmmakers can suffer this artistic, marketing and economic discomfort. Finally, we make some linear regressions to determine the impact that the film models inclusions have on increasing the possibilities of spectators attending to the films.Palabras clave: arte, consumo, entretenimiento, organizaciones de producción cinematográfica, síndrome Lozano-Barragán.Resumen.

This article examines the critical role visualisation plays for digital cinema studies and proposes that cinema studies has an equally critical role to play in evaluating and developing visualisation methods. The article reflects on work undertaken in the Kinomatics Project, a multidisciplinary study that explores, analyses and visualises the industrial geometry of motion pictures and which is one of the first “big data” studies of contemporary cultural diffusion. Its examination of global film flow rests on a large dataset of showtime information comprising more than 330 million records that describe every film screening in forty-eight countries over a thirtymonth period as well as additional aggregated box-office data.
