The making and showing of motion pictures became a source of profit almost as soon as film was invented. In 1898, some first commercial movies were ever produced. Other films soon followed, and motion picture became a separate industry that was greater than any other industries. Several theaters and companies were formed specifically to produce and distribute films, while film stars became famous and often asked for huge salary for their performances. In 1917, Charlie Chapin had a contract that called for an annual salary of one million dollars. In the United States today, much of the film industry is centered around Hollywood.
