In theory it helps by funneling fans between The Avengers, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, for which they have refined the process of pumping out content and merchandise with lower cost and risk
In practice people just stop going to the movies
But hey, I guess the profit margins are better
Large corporations rarely innovate and try new things. Most innovation comes from smaller players with limited market share taking risks.
Large companies buy out smaller ones who create cash cows from taking large risks. The large company then milks the cash cows until they are completely dead.
The consolidation of studios to a few megacorporations has led to this inevitable end. The solution is simple: break them up. If we have 30 or so similar sized studios competing, we will get better movies/TV again.
I'm surprised there wasn't a big drop from Netflix and big ass TV's.
There was. If you map that onto the growth in population you'll see that tickets per person has been dropping since about 2000.
I’ve been to like six or seven movies with my partner…
We’ve been together for 12 years.
We’ve seen thousands of movies, though—thank you, trackers.
Big ass TVs?
Doesn't sound sanitary.
2020 kinda accelerated the existing trends and got a majority of people willing to watch films at home instead of in theaters. Before that enough people really enjoyed the theater experience that it wasn't too much of a threat to the business model
Is it a TV that only shows asses or a caked-up TV?
