Nolan being a case in point re Tenet.
Very few homes have the full caboodle to get a similar experience.
Besides why get cheap ice cream out of the fridge when I can get fleeced when I take the kids? lol.
A lot of the big directors are also pro cinema and would use their power to resist their films going through other channels before cinema.
I had heard the opposite. Glad I heard wrong.
Trolls made a loss and the toys, which the films are basically long adverts for. Did not shift anymore. So in the end a failure. Hence why the other studios did not follow suit. Universal tried it out and faced the wrath of AMC entertainment and made a loss to boot. The studios then backed the cinema chains afterwards...
Milky milk milk
AMC buyout from Amazon? Maybe.
Streaming? Not really the future of film. Trolls did well since it had a captive covid-sat-at-home audience with nothing much else to do.
Pay as you view is expensive, when folk are used to paying a LOT less than would be needed to make it viable, notwithstanding the higher margins they get compared to cinema.
Also people want to go out.
Streaming can at best be a short term option during a covid lockdown or replacement (as it has tended to be) for what was dvd/bluray rental.
So cinema is the primary market. Streaming is secondary.
The studios know this is how they milk the cow twice. At least.
I can see movement by one of these companies next year. All the studios are in the process or are currently setting up their own streaming services and pulling their films off Netflix and Amazon. Content is king.
I expect AMC entertainment to be bought out first, mind.
'Which of the Cinemas Big and Small Names' Does anyone have any wishful though for Cineworld to be taken over ?
