What is the difference between a studio and a distributor?
A studio is in charge of production of a film while a distributor is responsible for releasing films to the public either theatrically or for home viewing. Oftentimes, a studio and distributor are part of the same company and are responsible for all stages of a film from development through production, post-production, distribution and home entertainment. But there are a few studios that do not have a distribution arm and use other companies for theatrical release of their films. For this reason, the number of projects may vary for the same company based on whether you choose studio or distributor. To see a company’s full development slate, you should select “studio.”

Rating system
MPAA Ratings
The MPAA ratings are provided for most movies at the box office and will sometimes be accompanied by descriptors that label the kind of content that might be seen in the movie.
- General audiences (G): There is little to no content that would be deemed offensive or inappropriate for young children, and all ages are allowed to be admitted.
- Parental guidance suggested (PG): There may be some material that is not suitable for children, and parents are encouraged to watch the film with their children. PG-rated films might have content like mild language or cartoon violence.
- Parents strongly cautioned (PG-13): Some of the material may be inappropriate for children under thirteen years of age and parents should be cautious. Movies with a PG-13 rating may include content like strong language, violence, some brief nudity or sexual content, and drug use.
- Restricted (R): A rated-R movie contains adult material for mature audiences. Viewers seventeen years of age and younger may be required by theaters to be accompanied by an adult guardian. Movies with an R rating may include content like graphic sex scenes, intense violence, or strong profanity.
- Adults only (NC-17): Previously known as the X rating, a movie with an NC-17 rating will have strong sexual and violent content. Theaters may refuse to admit viewers seventeen years old and under, even if they are accompanied by an adult.
- Unrated: An unrated label means that this film is not yet rated and has not yet received content warnings from the ratings board. Many theaters will not screen unrated movies.

参数
70 mm
70 mm film (or 65 mm film) is a wide high-resolution film gauge for motion picture photography, with negative area nearly 3.5 times as large as the standard 35 mm motion picture film format. As used in cameras, the film is 65 mm (2.6 in) wide. For projection, the original 65 mm film is printed on 70 mm (2.8 in) film. The additional 5 mm are for four magnetic strips holding six tracks of stereophonic sound. Although later 70 mm prints use digital sound encoding (specifically the DTS format), the vast majority of existing and surviving 70 mm prints pre-date this technology.
Each frame is five perforations tall, with an aspect ratio of 2.2:1. However, the use of anamorphic Ultra Panavision 70 lenses squeezes the image into an ultra-wide 2.76:1 aspect ratio. To this day, Ultra Panavision 70 produces the widest picture size in the history of filmmaking; surpassed only by Polyvision, which was only used for 1927’s Napoleon.
