Movies

Seems like anyone and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon to get rid of theatrical. It amazes me.

It seemed as though pre covid there was some pretty good money still being made. There were still a whole lot of movie tickets getting sold. 

11.3 billion in sales in 2019. That doesn't seem so bad. 

But wow, obviously that's not a correct assumption. 

So I just don't see how any of these tentpole movies can keep getting made. How do you get your 200 million plus another who knows how much for marketing? How does that happen? 

I AM glad i had a great chunk of my life where i could go to the theater. Endless memorable experiences. So far, i have not had ONE SINGLE Experience like the hundreds i've had over my life time at the theater. I'm still waiting for that first sit in front of a television or a computer, and i'm just completely blown away. Still nowhere close to having that. 

So...

permanent solution to a temporary problem {nm} pickle rick! Nov 19, 18:46

Studios shift to direct to consumer first I agree is destructive especially multi-year window deals. notfabio Nov 19, 19:09

Well said! No matter how much is spent on a home system, and I've been in elaborate ones, the cinema experience far exceeds! {nm} PhoneHome Nov 20, 05:03

For me its the opposite... 3ebfan511 Nov 20, 05:48

I kinda get that. I'm enjoying more intimate movies at home now. Plus, no upcoming movie will replicate the Avengers: Endgame experience. {nm} Jay_Beezy Nov 20, 06:58

I agree with 3ebfan511's first paragraph 100%. I never really see a reason to go to the theater, for the very reasons they stated. {nm} Buckee Nov 20, 07:12

This has nothing to do with being an introvert or extrovert TheWeekendWarrior Nov 20, 07:37

I don't know what that means... {nm} 3ebfan511 Nov 20, 08:20

You suggested that people that go to movie theaters more than twice a year are extroverts. I'm pointing out that this is false. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 20, 10:05

Well you don't know if its false, its a theory. You seem to say you are an extrovert...proving the point. Anyway the last few sentences.. 3ebfan511 Nov 20, 10:20

+1. The last movie I saw in theaters was Spider-Man: FFH. After that, had little desire to visit the theaters. ~JPV~ Nov 20, 09:37

The flexibility is whats important. Once there is confidence in the market and people learn to cope with it, people will come back. Gogreen Nov 20, 07:30
