before hollywood, the most powerful and interested motion picture developers tried to merge together in order to create maximum profit and monopolise the up and coming industry. This was known as the motion pictures patents company (1908) But the company failed. Why? It was thought that they had concentrated too much on the production side of film-making. Until 1903, film makers would sell prints straight to exhibitors who might then travel around America putting on tent shows, therefore only needing one set of prints.
