Abstract

This article reports the results of a study on Colombian moviegoers– consultation of film critics, which can be seen as a special case of consumer information acquisition. We found that the consultation of film critics is positively associated with moviegoers– subjective knowledge about cinema, positively associated with their susceptibility to informational social influence, and not associated with their susceptibility to normative social influence and with their personal involvement with cinema. Some of these results do not corroborate findings reported in previous research on consumer information search suggesting that the specificity of movies as experiential products should be considered.
