The collapse of the golden gae in new hollywood was due to the big film industries producing the same old boring films that followed the same structure.
the younger generation of people were more internested in the films that were being produced by new directors.
The 5 major film companies at the time tried to stop their losses by holding noto the cinemas they owned, this meant that they could screen their own films instead of having to show films that were made by smaller companies or new direcotrs. when this was removed from them and people started to go to drive in cinemas new hollywood fell appart becuse the younger generation were more interested in the new films by new directors. the new directors that were most successful were "Baby-boomers" who knew that there was a big market as the new generations were un-catered for in the cinemas. the big companies at the time were unable to keep up and soon they lost their studios and money.
the competition also drove the number of people down that visited the cinemas as TV was invented and people were now watching TV instead of having to go out now.
the new age of hollywood also collapsed as more and more new films came out the boundries for films were being pushed higher and higher. films such as Star Wars and Jaws put trmendus pressure of film directors to do a better job at making the film, but also showed that there was more money than they thought in the film industry.
