The challenges of investing in foreign entertainment markets.

[Johnson2468]

Investing in foreign entertainment markets can present a host of unique challenges for investors. One of the biggest challenges is navigating cultural differences and understanding the nuances of local tastes and preferences. For example, what works in Hollywood may not necessarily be a hit in Bollywood or China's booming film industry. Dealing with laws and rules that are different from those in the investor's native country is another challenge. In order to assure compliance and avoid costly mistakes, this may require substantial investigation and the engagement of local specialists. Political unrest and exchange rate volatility can also make things more challenging for investors.

I would advice any investor who is willing to invest in entertainment to focus on conquering the local market before thinking about going international. Gain all the experience you need within your country first.
