Market Drivers

Fewer restrictions on comedies
On the one hand, comedy films have a wide mass base and are suitable for all ages of movie watchers. Comedy films will make people feel relaxed and can properly release their own pressure. Nowadays, life is getting more and more stressful, and many people choose some ways to reduce stress. Among all genres, comedy has the highest correlation between the level of positive role models and the level of audience enjoyment. The larger the role model, the higher the level of audience liking. On the other hand, comedy films have the inherent advantage of small cost, less dependence on the film industry, and distinctive local characteristics, which form intertextuality with reality and easily resonate with audiences, making them the most cost effective type of film. Compared with other types of films, the small investment scale and short production cycle have also become another major advantage of comedy film. The small investment scale makes it possible to attract more small and medium-sized capital to enter the business, and at the same time draws the bottom of the film's income red line, providing more room for imagination. At the same time, the short production cycle can also make the capital return faster, without having to wait too long for the income time.

Market Challenges

Significant regional identity
Comedy films are distinctly regional in nature, and comedies are most dependent on local markets. Local comedies usually do not spread well overseas. In other countries around the world, funny behavior in one country may be considered absolutely unfunny or immoral. The language barrier may also be particularly high for certain forms of comedy. In addition, the popularity of comedies is not similar in different countries or regions. For example, comedies earn and account for almost twice as much box office revenue in Italy as in other countries. Romantic comedies are extremely popular for the Mexican market and equally extremely popular in Russia, while Japanese and French audiences are less interested in romantic comedies. Therefore, it is necessary for comedy filmmakers to focus on the local market and produce films that meet local tastes.
