marketing of a film. The distributor may set the release date of a film
and the method by which a film is to be made available for
viewing.
When a film is produced, distribution companies feature a small clip
of the film to show to audiences in a cinema, or on T.V adverts.

year in the United States alone on advertising such as TV
