The 1980s saw the rise of home video, with the introduction of VHS and later DVD. This led to a decline in box office sales and a shift in consumer behavior, as people began to watch movies in the comfort of their own homes. The studio system began to crumble, and by the 1990s, the industry was undergoing significant changes.

The 1920s to the 1960s are often referred to as the "Golden Age" of Hollywood. During this period, studios produced some of the most iconic films of all time, including "Casablanca," "The Wizard of Oz," and "Singin' in the Rain." The studio system, which dominated the industry during this period, was characterized by a strict hierarchical structure, with studios controlling every aspect of film production, from talent acquisition to distribution.

The 2000s saw the dawn of the digital revolution, with the emergence of streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. This shift has transformed the way people consume entertainment, with more and more people opting for online streaming over traditional television and cinema.
