Industry Highlights and Notable Moments from 1946
Changes in the Hollywood Studio System
The studio system underwent significant changes in how movies were made and managed. The postwar marketplace's uncertainties and the need to cut costs led to a greater emphasis on management and marketing operations within the studios.
Record-Breaking Profits
Hollywood experienced a year of unprecedented profits, with two-thirds of the American population attending movies weekly. This period of prosperity was, however, short-lived due to rising inflation, labor unrest, and the temporary loss of foreign markets to protectionist quotas.
Inauguration of the Cannes Film Festival
1946 marked the inaugural year of the Cannes Film Festival, a prestigious event that had been postponed due to World War II. The festival's initiation signified the global recognition and celebration of cinematic art.
Beginning of the Baby Boom Era
The year also marked the start of the Baby Boom era, a period characterized by a significant increase in birth rates. This demographic shift would eventually impact various aspects of American culture, including the film industry.
