The following is taken from a memo of the advertising director of Super Screen Movie Production Company According to the recent report of our marketing department during the past year fewer people attended our movies as compared to any other year And yet

The author of the memo argues that the movie production company should allocate more money towards advertising because the decline of movie watches is due to the public not being aware of the available movies. At first glance, the argument may seem convincing. However, upon close scrutiny, the author makes several logical errors which severely hinders its persuasiveness.
First, the author argues that the movies must be in good quality because the percentage of positive reviews from movie reviewers have increased. While it is plausible that the movie quality is great, the author fails to acknowledge that regular public may have different standards of quality compared to a professional movie reviewer. In this regard, it would be much convincing had the author provided the reviews of regular public as data.
In addition, the author fails to consider the possibility that the number of people that watched movies in the past year has declined. The author bases his argument on the assumption that movie viewers are not watching movies because the absolute number of viewers have decreased. However, if the overall number of people that watch movies have declined within the past year, it may not be true that Super Screen-produced movies are less popular. In fact, it may be even possible that Super Screen-produced movies have gone up in market share.
Finally, the assumption that the public is not aware of the movies may be false. The author states that the public are not watching the production’s movies because they are not aware of the positive reviews. However, the public may already be aware of the reviews, but they are not watching for another reason. For example, more enticing movies may have been in the theaters the same time as the productions movies, leading to the public watching other movies even after being aware of the production movie’s positive reviews. To strengthen this assumption, there should be some sort of evidence or statistic relating the public’s awareness and movie watches.
In conclusion, the argument that the movie production company should increase their public advertising budget is flawed. For it to be stronger, the author should provide more concrete evidence that the general public are less aware of the production’s movies, statistics showing previous years’ market share including the total number of movie viewers, and the regular publics movie reviews. Without these evidences to prove the author’s claim, the increase in public advertise budget may be ineffectual.

In the past one year, the number of people who watched movies produced by Super Screen-produced movies have decreased. The author attributes this detoriation in number to lack of awareness of good movies and increase in budget for more marketing is decided, I stongly disagree with this because of the below mentioned reasons.

The primary reason for disagreement is author's assumption of increase in postive reviews by movie reviewers is attributed to production of good movies. This assumption may not be right since, fewer people watched movies in the year, it is probable that the people who watched movies in the past year are watching because they might be crazy fans of this production house and irrespective of the quality of movies, they tend to like these because of the biased liking towards the production house. For example, Marvel studios have huge fan base, and people go crazy about Marvel movies. The movie "Thor Ragnarok" is a low quality movie with improper storyline and a bad screenplay. Still, many people gave good reviews because of their blind liking towards the Marvel but the movie didn't earn much. Also, if the movie is actualy good, mouth pubilicity would have attracted huge crowd to movie theatres. From this, we can say increase in good reviews doesn't imply good movies.

Another reason for reduction in people watching the movies might be because of the new trend of people started prefering OTT content more than watching movies. OTT is not only providing great content, it is also cheap and convenient. There might be a possibility that not just this production house movies, but for all other movies people are coming less to theatres. This can judged properly only when we have sufficient data about other prodcution house' movies. Without proper analysis of complete industry, it's challenging to judge.

Even if we agree with author on the thing that reduction in numbers is due to bad accessability of movie reviews to people, allocating a greater share of budget to advertising should not be done. Greater increase in budget for marketing implies greater reduction of budget for making movies which results in diminshing the quality of movie making to a great extent which in turn push away people more than pulling to theatres.

Increase in advertising budget will for sure aid in reaching out to more audience, but it is not clear from the data provided that advertising is the main reason for reduction in people arriving to theatres and above points to be clarified to state if it is a right decision.
