…everything points to the fact that the first movies were created by two Frenchmen? In 1895, brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière showed ten movies at the Grand Café, in Paris, France. Each movie was approximately 50 seconds long. At first, even the brothers did not believe in the movies very much.  People said that Louis thought movies were an invention without much of a future.

…the most watched film is Avatar (2009)? Combining ticket sales from around the world, the film has earned 2.788 billion dollars. On the list of movies with highest earnings are Titanic (1997) and Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens (2015) which placed second and third, respectively.

…the famous Hollywood billboard in Los Angeles, in the United States, was built in 1923 and was the advertisement for a real estate business called Hollywoodland? The business failed, and the billboard was abandoned. In 1949, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce removed the letters for “land” and refurbished the rest.

…even though the Oscar’s first award ceremony took place in 1929, the Oscar for best animated feature was only established in 2001? The first movie to win it was Shrek (2001).
