Die Potenziale einer entmaterialisierten Medienwirtschaft konsequent und mit innovativen Ansätzen im Bereich der Distribution und Vermarkung zu nutzen, ist eine der zentralen Herausforderungen der Filmindustrie, um auf die immer zeitsensiblere und ausdifferenziertere Nachfrage zu reagieren. Der Beitrag arbeitet anhand medienökonomischer Überlegungen aktuelle Risiken und strategische Ansätze heraus, wie Verleiher und Kinobetreiber diesen Herausforderungen begegnen können. Basierend auf dem mikroökonomischen Konzept der Kreuzpreiselastizität kann gezeigt werden, dass zwischen dem Kino- und dem Home-Video-Markt in Deutschland von 2001 bis 2012 insgesamt ein komplementäres Verhältnis besteht. Der Autor plädiert dafür, die Verknappung des Angebots durch zeitliche Preisdiskriminierung in den Vermarktungsfenstern zugunsten flexibel anwendbarer Vermarktungsstrategien unter Stärkung der jeweiligen komparativen Vorteile einzelner Kanäle abzuschaffen.

The Nigerian home video industry, popularly known as <em>Nollywood</em> is a booming industry, with increasing numbers of easily accessible online videos. The aim of this study was to analyse the contents of popular Nigerian online videos to determine the prevalence of smoking imageries and their public health implications. Using specific search terms, popular English language and indigenous Yoruba language, Nigerian home videos uploaded on <em>YouTube</em> in 2013 were identified and sorted based on their view counts. Data on smoking related scenes such as smoking incidents, context of tobacco use, depiction of cigarette brand, gender of smokers and film rating were collected. Of the 60 online videos whose contents were assessed in this study, 26 (43.3%) had scenes with cigarrete smoking imageries. The mean (SD) smoking incident was 2.7 (1.6), giving an average of one smoking incident for every 26 to 27 min of film. More than half (53.8%) of the films with tobacco use had high smoking imageries. An average of 2 characters per film smoked, mostly in association with acts of criminality or prostitution (57.7%) and alcohol use (57.7%). There were scenes of the main protagonists smoking in 73.1% of the films with scenes of female protagonists smoking (78.9%) more than the male protagonists (21.1%). Smoking imageries are common in popular Nigerian online movies. Given the wide reach of online videos, their potential to be viewed by people from different cultures and to negatively influence youngsters, it is important that smoking portrayals in online movies are controlled.
