One consequence of the studio system monopoly: Block Booking: when studios would sell films to film exhibitors (aka, theater owners) in packages on an all-or-nothing basis Blind bidding: purchasing blocks of films without watching them first
The Paramount Decision • 1938: First filed • 1948: Supreme Court declares Paramount Studios (and, by extension, all of the major studios) a monopoly • studios were told to: stop buying theaters eliminate blind booking limit block booking to 5 films (as opposed to 20) • they also had to establish a regulatory body • this antitrust action led to the end of the studio system
