Movies come in fifteen set genres, ranging from Comedy to Drama to Science Fiction, as well as six sub genres such as "farce" or "slapstick." Movies can rise and fall depending on what genre they are and what time of year they are released.

Acting, screenwriting and directing talent also play a great role in the success of a film. More popular talent costs more to hire, but have the benefit of raising the noticiability of a film. Likewise, production budget, special effects budgets and advertising play a big role as well.
