i) 
- People wish to immerse themselves in a world other than their own world, which is why people tend to lean towards to foreign movies compared to local movies. 

- Social media influences people into watching movies that are popular or are in trend. This is especially because people are influenced by the majority. 

- Most of the bigshot movies such as Doctor Strange 2, Spiderman and Big Purple Man Snap Finger movie, comes from film-makers from overseas. Since foreign movies are of better repute compared to the local movies that are less well-known, people would prefer to watch foreign movies instead.

ii)
