There will only be capeshit: Ben Affleck on the future of cinema

>"I think movies in theaters are going to become more expensive, event-ized. They're mostly going to be for younger people, and mostly about "Hey, I'm so into the Marvel Universe, I can't wait to see what happens next." And there'll be 40 movies a year theatrically, probably, all IP, sequel, animated."

Seems pretty accurate to me.

>cinema is dead
Wow what a bold and provocative statement. Seriously though A-list Hollywood actors talking about this is vindictive. Real cinema lovers have known this for a while. This has been the zeitgeist for a while now so much so that actors used to deny this was the case just to try to get people into the theater.

except you and everyone else ITT

not a soul

Oh no it's 3 months old that means it's totally outdated

It's the sad truth

yes

Ok faggot bitch nigga

Man I just want noir detective movies to come back

Not a new take. Since streaming has blown up studios are only going to make big fuck off tentpole IP sequels for 300 million dollars they can market the shit out of that people will see in a theater and small low risk

I think anons are in denial. The culture is just recycling watered down tropes. There is nothing new because it is over and done with.

The future is TikTok titties. If a plot appears it kills the boner, you understand? I want to finish and be zipped up in 5 minutes, max.

Who started the capeshit trend?

There were 403 movies released theatrically in the US last year. There were 792 in 2019, the last year before shutdowns. I really don't see it dipping anywhere near 40 in the foreseeable future. I think the people who think all that's released now are massive IP-based blockbusters have a pretty myopic view. What's concerning is things that aren't IP-based often fail to make profits.

>zoomers be like
3 months? That’s like a 1/16th of my life that’s so friggin long.

an industry like the theater industry doesn't have it in them to pivot like that. They're just fold like blockbuster and old theaters will all turn into shitty apartment complexes like most dying brick-and-mortar establishments these days.

dumb metric because 90% of movies make very little money

Which is why I said
>What's concerning is things that aren't IP-based often fail to make profits.

The problem isn't what's released, it's what people choose to watch.

I can't read this

top 1% of movies represent 25% of the box office
bottom 90% of movies represent 12.5% of the box office

Op is always a faggot. Always.

Reminds me of the women:chad meme people always post here

>streaming has blown up
In lieu of recent Netflix problems, it is possible that streaming will become less popular?
>Movies like the Last Duel are not going to get made anymore
That's sad, I really liked it.
For me, all major IP could die, fuck them. But I still love cinema experience and I think it's vastly superior to watching movies at home.

BEN AFFLICTION IS A ALCOHOL.

.............And it's really ruining his life.

The more interesting part is the comparison to 1997, when the bottom 90% made for 50% of revenue.

yeah, this is what the music industry looks like now too.
the problem is promotional (making people aware that a film even exists), and results from how every form of entertainment is now also competing with social media.

no, because streaming ≠ netflix
everyone with an iphone gets appletv, most people buying on amazon have prime, disney+

>In lieu of recent Netflix problems, it is possible that streaming will become less popular?
Not really.
>That's sad, I really liked it.
There's literally another historic epic with an all-white cast in theaters as we speak.

it just means more people would see a wider range of different films. there was more room to make profit with niche stuff.

>There's literally another historic epic with an all-white cast in theaters as we speak.
I know, planning to see it next week. But it's for now, it doesn't do well financially so chances for more movies like this are slim.

this is probably insane to zoomers, but people used to unironically just go to the theater without a film in mind and then decide when they got there

funny thing about 1997 was it had titanic, but only 2 sequels/ip and you still could have a modest hit like the full monty that wasn't a horror

Fuck ALL 'The ZoOmIeS'!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look through 90s release schedules. They were consistently three or four good movies in theaters at a time, all the time

Nowadays we have people like that man from Florida who watched the same Marvel film 297 times in theaters

Didn't we always had those people? Like this kid who saw Star Wars over 100 times and told Alec Guiness about it?

3 months isn't old. 3 years is old.

Yes user, especially speaking in terms of media news.

>In lieu of
Don't use words and phrases of which you don't know the meaning. Just say "in light of" and stop trying to be fancier than you are, oatmeal.

Ur mom tho lmao

>all IP
This doesn't mean anything, retard.

Filtered

This may the most retarded thing I've read here.

No, what I was responding to is the retarded thing. Keep up.

I just saw gone girl and it was good with him in it

>no, u

>modest hit

It made 100x its budget.

Did you post the retarded thing I was responding to? Were you the retard who tried and failed (and shidded and Fareed) to use the phrase "in lieu of"?

And that's why we gotta kill 'em. Anyone that was involved. Anybody who profited from it. Anybody who opens their eyes at us.

Yes, the box office of the Northman proved this
Only capeshit makes money now

Well yeah that's really the meaningful part. Whether that's due to marketing, a changing market (streaming), audience tastes narrowing, way more movies being made, or a combination of all of those would be interesting follow-up.

Not really, it wouldn't be the first historic epic that bombed and that never stopped Hollywood from making more.

GIVE US ANOTHER BATMAN MOVIE YOU FUCK

He's right you know. "in lieu" means "instead", comes from French "au lieu".

>Movies like the Last Duel are not going to get made anymore
Good. And who’s fucking fault is that?
>muh classical, thematic, period piece WITH hamfisted feminist bullshit propaganda... muh believe all womanz

That movie should have never even been made

How? It's doing much better than expected

You are a fucking stupid zoomer
