>"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."
>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.

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
Isaac Perry
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.

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.

Jaxson Carter
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.
Gavin Edwards
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.

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

>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.

Parker Jackson
The more interesting part is the comparison to 1997, when the bottom 90% made for 50% of revenue.
Cooper Garcia
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.
Daniel Price
no, because streaming ≠ netflix everyone with an iphone gets appletv, most people buying on amazon have prime, disney+
Owen Reed
>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.
Wyatt Morris
it just means more people would see a wider range of different films. there was more room to make profit with niche stuff.
Jayden Russell
>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.
Samuel Evans
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
Mason Taylor
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
Look through 90s release schedules. They were consistently three or four good movies in theaters at a time, all the time
Luke Morris
Nowadays we have people like that man from Florida who watched the same Marvel film 297 times in theaters
Lincoln Cox
Didn't we always had those people? Like this kid who saw Star Wars over 100 times and told Alec Guiness about it?

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"?
Austin Flores
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
Joshua Miller
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.
Robert Myers
Not really, it wouldn't be the first historic epic that bombed and that never stopped Hollywood from making more.
Dominic Gutierrez
GIVE US ANOTHER BATMAN MOVIE YOU FUCK
Alexander Perry
He's right you know. "in lieu" means "instead", comes from French "au lieu".
