Q.Which genre became popular in Hollywood?
A. Western films and sci-Fi films were very popular, watching about the past and about the present intrigued people of all ages. The success of these genres meant that studios began to cash count. Cash count is when studios turn out the popular genres (in this case Western or Sci-Fi) the reason they did this is because they knew people were going to watch them types of films as they were popular, so this meant that they were getting more money for the studio.
Q.Why do audiences like genre films?
A.People like genre films because some people prefer to watch a certain type of film, this may be horror, sci-Fi or even romance.The popular genres mean that studios still do cast count this is because they run off of capitalism. This means that studios create very similar films because of the genre that is popular at the time,this occurred as studios created films like James Bond and Fast and Furious around the same time this is because that genre of action was very popular. People's moods effect the type of genre that they want to watch so this is another reason audiences like genres,its because if they are sad then the audience would most likely want to watch a comedy or on the other hand if the audience was in a certain mood they may want to watch a horror film.
