The effect of social interactions in the primary consumption life cycle of motion pictures
Abstract
We develop a 'basic principles'model which accounts for the primary life cycle consumption of films as a social coordination problem in which information transmission is governed by word of mouth. We fit the analytical solution of such a model to aggregated consumption data from the film industry and derive a quantitative estimator of its quality based on the structure of the life cycle.
