This article is basically about the Hollywood film industry. Shouldn't it be re-titled to reflect that? JW 10:49, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
This page is very, very difficult to extract information from for several reasons:
I'll add appropriate merge tags, but there's more work than that needed. I hope that others will comment. - Harmil 16:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
I reverted the page to an old version, since the next edit involved an anon cutting and pasting the articles on Film, Film crew etc. here to replace the previous content, resulting in a page that wasn't really about film industry. If you miss the old version, just look at the film article or the articles linked from its sections. - Bobet 21:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Why is this article about these specific countries? Cameroon? Really? Here are some other countries that have a film industry: almost all of them. unsigned comment added by 59.101.178.182 ( talk) 08:14, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
In this article, it is claimed that Hollywood came before any other but it is said that Bollywood actually came 11 years before Hollywood. Bollywood’s first production was an 1899 short film, whereas Hollywood’s first movie came out in 1910. So...

Is it possible to replace the word "industry" with maybe "business" or "branch" or "trade" or something? Also see e.g. publishing User:ScotXW t@lk 13:15, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
The list of countries by "number of indoor cinemas" recently added to the article is obviously incomplete and somewhat misleading. The source chart contains data for only 61 countries (the other two-thirds presumably could not be accurately surveyed and so were left blank), making it a poor basis for an ordered list implicitly presenting itself as a "top 10" list.
For instance, all data for India is missing in the source chart. However, the very next chart down on the same website ( "Cinema infrastructure - Capacity"), while also incomplete and using different metrics, DOES have data for India and shows that India recently had almost twice as many screens as France. (Not surprising, given India's massive film industry and population.) Meanwhile, Wikipedia's list, being based on incomplete data, shows France in 2nd place with India nowhere to be seen. Other major countries may be missing from Wikipedia's list as well. With apologies to the editor who recently added the list, I'm afraid we really ought to remove it unless a more complete source can be found. AtticusX ( talk) 09:26, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

I know that they lack some of countries but it's better than nothing and the major countries are not missing, they are counted in the statistics. UNESCO and MPAA has collected accurate and the farthest source they could collect for countries. No other institutions or sites have done ranking of No. of screens and no of indoor cinemas, so it's better than nothing and it would be good for the page of Film industry to show rankings like that. If their will be other statistics done in the future then we will replace with it. But for now, it's good to show ranking of No. of screens and national film production as well as no. of indoor cinemas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pedia Master Mind ( talk • contribs) 07:55, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

The Countries by the number of films produced in 2015.jpg is wrong should be fixed or removed. e.g. it has marked countries like Russia and UK as "No film production," which is ostensibly wrong.

we state, "The following is a list of the top 15 countries by the number of feature films (fiction, animation and documentary) produced,"
Is that for one year? There is a year given but I think that needs to be clairified.

This section needs more citations. I propose deleting the small mention about direct government censorship. Specifically because it mentions that China and Russia are guilty, supposedly because they are authoritarian regimes (without any citation, of course)
Additionally, there is no mention of the fact that nearly every Hollywood movie that covers military themes will need direct military approval, in order to have access to the military assets (bases, planes, ships) that make the film competitively realistic. There is an entire wikipedia article related to military/Hollywood ties. Here is a relevant source for the phenomenon of script approval by the Dept of Defense: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2011-aug-21-la-ca-military-movies-20110821-story.html 2601:5CF:8000:6B60:793F:E9C5:11B8:6F7D ( talk) 02:25, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
