FAQ
How many films does Hollywood make in a given year?
Hollywood studios make approximately 3,000 films annually. That's right, 3000!
Hollywood spends billions advertising these films. They spend millions making them. They also spend millions promoting them. But how many do you think actually end up getting released into theaters?
The answer is most likely between 200 and 300. What happens then to the 2,700+ remaining films? They are either distributed as direct-to–video releases or simply left in storage.
However, not all of them are unavoidable. Some of them are available for distribution via Netflix and Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus or iTunes, Google Play, and others.
Hence, why aren't there more of them? Why are they not released in theaters? Because they are too expensive to make.
And if they were cheaper to produce, they'd be released into theaters.

It might also cost you a lot before you start.
Even worse, your window of opportunity to distribute your film is very limited.
There simply isn't enough time between when a film is finished, and its theatrical run begins.
Why is it called Hollywood?
D.W. Griffith founded the first film industry in California in 1887. It was named for its Los Angeles location, also known as Hollywood at that time.
It was an exciting place to visit and the name stuck. People came from all parts of the country to see what was going on there.
Today, Hollywood is still very much part of our culture. We have movies. There are also music videos. Commercials. We call them all "Hollywood."
How much of the box-office revenue is spent on marketing budgets?
Marketing budgets account for approximately 20% to 40% of film budgets. This is because marketing plays a vital role in any film's success.
Without marketing, nobody will know anything about your film. If people don't know anything about your film they won't pay to see it.
How many theaters do I need to make back my investment?
It all depends on how long your theatrical release will be running.
If your film is going to be run for less then two weeks, one theater will suffice.

How to get your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce founded the Hollywood Walk of Fame, HWOF (Hollywood Walk of Fame) in 1960. The HWOF is located at 6233 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. It consists of 2,711 stars embedded into the sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard. Each star represents someone who contributed to motion pictures, television, radio, theater, music, or some aspect of popular culture. There are 1,922 individuals currently listed on HWOF.
You must first submit your name and address to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to become a member of HWOF. The Hollywood Department of Cultural Affairs then submits your information to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Once approved, a certificate will be sent to you stating that you are eligible. This includes your name as well as date of birth and the city where you live. A bronze plaque with your name inscribed on it is also included. This plaque is attached on a concrete base at the star.
A current HWOF member can nominate you for a star or if you have made significant contributions in movies, television or radio. The nominations are evaluated by a committee, which then decides whether or not to approve them. If they do approve them, they send a note to the home address of the applicant stating their decision. If the person accepts, they will be sent a second letter to confirm their acceptance. The Hollywood Chamber of commerce will then pay $25. This money is forwarded to the Department of Cultural Affairs of Los Angeles.
The department issues a check payable the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which then sends the check directly to the Hollywood Walk of Fame Foundation. The foundation pays any artist or organization that submitted an application. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce then pays half of the fee ($12.50). The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs pays the remainder.
Once the artist has received his/her star, he/she becomes eligible to be included in the HWOF. To be eligible for the HWOF, the artist must pay the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce any balance. The amount due is dependent on the number of years since you were first recognized. For example, $15,000. Suppose you were first nominated as a nominee in 1990. If you were nominated for the first time in 1990, you would owe $15,000.

You must be at the least 18 year old to be nominated. To receive a star, one must be alive at that time. After receiving a stars, one could still be nominated after ten more years.
What happens if I die before my star gets put up?

Why can't we just choose a different street and not have stars all over?
The HWOF is not meant to be a historical monument. It is intended to honor all those who have made film history possible.
What happened with the stars that were stolen? Around 1,200 stars were taken by the thieves. Each star weighs approximately 250-300 pounds, which equates to 4 tons of stars.
