Abstract
Movie industry is a risky business as it involves high film production cost. Moreover,
it is challenging for marketers to attract consumers to watch movie in cinema. In this
research, relationship between trailers, critics review, star power and word of mouth
towards decision making in movie consumption had been investigated. The Kotler's
Black Box Model was reviewed to determine how consumer translate information
source into a decision and respond in a particular way. Besides that, non probability
sampling which is convenience sampling was used to collect information.
Quantitative method which is questionnaire was used. Pilot test was conducted using
30 undergraduates. A sample size of 200 undergraduates from Klang Valley was
collected. Methods of analysis used include Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple
linear regression and independent T-test. The results obtained show that there is a
significant relationship between all independent variables and decision making on
movie consumption. However, word of mouth outweighs other variables in
consumer’s decision making for movie consumption. In addition, the differential
effects of all independent variables towards decision making in movie consumption
among male and female consumers are investigated. From the results obtained, it can
be seen that there is no relationship between gender and decision making in movie
consumption. Significant of this study is to help marketers identify factors that can
attract consumers to watch movie in cinema. This can help to boost consumer
attendance and movie sales. Besides, it also helps to understand the decision making
process that consumer goes through especially information search in deciding what
movie to watch.
