if a movie does well on netflix, its price could go up. The only reason it doesn't..is the human behavior of the players of this game.
It seems the users of the site assume numerical value to a theatrical wide release, and nothing to VOD. Which in normal times was fine. but..there is nothing stopping people from hitting "buy" on a film that goes to netflix and goes viral, which then could change the paradigm on the site. There is nothing that says a film only has value on hsx.com..only based on how much money it makes. Popularity..has "value" and its all a game. Eventually...things could just go up by how well it does in popular culture and how it is recieved ...when it finally drops on Netflix or other platform. It doesn't matter whether films get box office dollars...HSX still runs, you can short and buy every offering...and if you know what is going on..you make more...
As to the industry itself that is a big problem of course, how they will recoup, but HSX is...just a game with no set rules on what makes something go up. It simply...human behavior..that dictates that....(note: I would be super annoyed if I shorted something that went to Netflix...and then later had it go way back up because it was popular upon release and went viral but..that may be the future of HSX in all-digital releases...)
I think theaters will return to some level of normal, but it will take probably 1.5 -to up to 3 years. (a pandemic is about 12-18 months, and then another 6 months-12 months for thefilm industry to pump stuff out again to catch up to a normal rate.)
I get all the excitement to get HSX going again but... Jun 28, 08:17
I don't think anyone's in denial about what's happening in the industry, the question will be "how does HSX adapt?" Jun 28, 09:15
And it will adapt. {nm} Jun 28, 09:19
Shorting is a thing. (Nm) Jun 28, 09:54
^^This. Personally, I'm curious where Antibody will place the OW derivatives for Tenet... once it's "definitely opening." Jun 28, 09:42
(The "This" was for Roger More's post... but Grunt is right, too.) {nm} Jun 28, 09:42
