Análisis de la relación del cine familiar con las tendencias de taquilla local.

Abstract

Cinema is classified based on various criteria related to its content. Among these criteria is the one that establishes what is entertaining for certain viewers according to their age. Under this criterion, Family Cinema is recognized. This is aimed at all people of different ages who could make up a family. The present work studies the possible relationship between this cinema and the levels of box office collection, establishing the hypothesis that family cinema is favored in it. Based on the information obtained, the presence of family cinema in Ecuadorian movie theaters is investigated and it is established whether the data acquired at a general level also applies in the particular case of Ecuador. For the development of this academic project, we proceeded to investigate the definition of Family Cinema, examine and analyze box office lists in countries of America, the World and Ecuador, study lists of Ecuadorian film premieres and interview Ecuadorian filmmakers. All this with the purpose of knowing if there is influence of Family Cinema in the success of films at the box office.
