I would guess it's not purely Hollywood. There are a lot of copyright-maximalist companies with ties across the political spectrum, some of whom the GOP probably is worried about antagonizing, even if Hollywood itself is mostly irrelevant to them. Republican-aligned examples that come to mind are the Rupert Murdoch empire (Murdoch is so copyright-maximalist he even thinks Google News should be considered copyright infringement) and the country music industry. Disney seems to be donating mainly to Republicans in recent years as well, though some Googling suggests some of that may relate to local resort-business politics (they've been lobbying against casinos in Florida).
