A blockbuster is a major studio movie that's made with a large budget, big stars and often a large film franchise.
Countries like Oman only screen blockbusters because independent movies are often not marketed very well globally. However, because blockbuster movies often feature famous, well know actors and are filmed in multiple different locations, use vast amounts of CGI, etc. they cost huge amounts of money and are often marketed so well. Due to the effective marketing, it leaves people waiting eagerly for the movie's release. Doctor Strange is the 14th Marvel comic film and therefore, drew lots of attention to its details such as production, distribution and exhibition.
This concept is called starpower. It describes how people want to watch a movie solely because it features specific actors. |
