entertainment industry
Film and television
The entertainment industry is the sector of the economy that produces content for amusement and leisure—films, television, music, theater, video games, and live performances.
The term often implies the business side: studios, talent agencies, production companies, and the machinery of celebrity.
Hollywood is shorthand for the American entertainment industry, though the business now spans streaming platforms and global media conglomerates.
