[Dave24]

Who do you think has more power, influence, and status? Moguls/executives in Hollywood/the movie industry or moguls/executives from the music industry?

Ehh, they both did at different points yet neither are king makers now.

Hollywood execs were most powerful during their golden era when movies/movie stars drove pop culture 40’s-60’s, they both were powerful in the 70's/80's, then music dominated pop culture from the 80’s-early 00’s.

But both industries have declined, a lot more power is in the hands, habits and tastes of consumers (it’s why only franchises and remakes seem to do numbers in Hollywood and why most of the new big stars in music are anointed by consumers before they get on with record labels).

so neither

This is a good question, cause the film industry seems to have their power spread out over a much larger group of people while the music industry seems concentrated to a smaller group of people. If the groups were the same size it would most likely be the film industry on all counts. An example in concerts, Michael Rapino is that dude, in Hollywood they would have 15 Rapinos each of them having 1/3rd of the wealth and influence but a cumulative basis >>>.

Status, I'd probably guess film. But it depends on what you label as film and music industry. Disney's CEO is a lot more powerful and has a higher status than nearly any CEO, but Disney is much more than movie and employs 200k people. On the same note you have c*nts like Rupert Murdoch, who aren't film exclusively to any degree either but still there. Then they mix up all types of "videos", like news, tv, movies all get mixed up you go from Oprah to a VP of programming at Netflix to a powerful film director like George Lucas to whoever runs WarnerMedia which owns CNN.

Where's the money? Film. So there's the answer. The film industry makes far more money, donates far more to politicians, and has made far more people rich (execs, producers, actors, directors, etc)

all facts

 

[NinoBrown]

Movie execs by far, larger influence, money is much more longer....

Music industry is declining due to shrinking economy, independent streaming artist, and massive overhead. There are a million broke music producers for every Dr. Dre, but few starving legit film producers/execs....

influence is music

money & power is the film industry

music shifts trends but film is bigger business

Perfect summary

 

[Vandelay]

Music executives will tell you it's movies. There's no real money in music. That's why they're in so many other industries and they just use music to brand their other products.

 

[Devilinurear]

The companies that pay to advertise in movies. They have the real power.

 

[Mr. Negative]

money? Movies

influence? Music

Status? Movies


But the REAL power is in who controls advertising and news.

If money is God, then advertising is the language it speaks.

Moguls and executives have more power and influence while music moguls and execs have the status. I say that because I look at someone like a Tyler Perry. He held a gala in Atlanta that drew elites from different fields of entertainment and politics. Dude isn't even of Will Smith caliber to where he's making these high grossing films that break and set box office records, but his name holds enough weight to where he can draw these people to his events. Speaking of Will, he's another example and possibly the biggest. Nobody probably even looks at Will Smith as a music executive and a lot of people don't even know he raps even though he has an album that went 9X platinum. His Hollywood power, influence and status is far more recognizable.

In terms of status, I think music moguls exceeds Hollywood. A lot of movie moguls don't flex like music moguls. Many people look at music moguls as someone to aspire to even if they don't make music. They want the Jay Z, Diddy, and Birdman lifestyle. They want to run labels, pop bottles, be seen and be in relationships with the baddest females, drive Bentleys and Maybachs, etc. Its all glamorous and much of Hollywood even thrives off of it.

i pick music moguls they can literally sell shyt as sugar.

too many other parties and expensive ones involved in hollywood decisions.
