Wanting stream to succeed and theatrical to fail is not the same thing, really.

But a few studio heads were pushing so hard to get streaming to succeed that decisions were made that were never going to help theatrical, and Disney is partially responsible for this by putting so much original content on D+ and making it clear that any theatrical release would end up there eventually, and in not that long a gap after theatrical.

BOM has the three day at ~$84m. 2021 was ~$144m and 2019 was ~$197m. This is concerning Moviesnob Dec 25, 12:54

2019 was 27th to 29th so no Xmas when its naturally slower {nm} Moviesnob Dec 25, 13:00

The problem is: THERE ARE NO MOVIES PEOPLE WANT TO SEE!! Put good movies out there! goodvibe61 Dec 25, 13:18

Just one example: Look at Christmas, 2018. Look at this list, and then think about this week. goodvibe61 Dec 25, 13:42

I'm guessing there are two factors at play: Some studios want theatrical to fail in favor of streaming; Studios production pipeline DTravel Dec 25, 14:44

Name one studio that wants theatrical to fail {nm} Moviesnob Dec 25, 14:52

Wanting stream to succeed and theatrical to fail is not the same thing, really. TheWeekendWarrior Dec 25, 14:58

And how many of the currently existing streamers were active in Dec. 2018? TheWeekendWarrior Dec 25, 15:22

And what movies released in the last two months on streaming only would you pay to see in the theater? {nm} WeAreTeamDemo Dec 26, 03:27

i made sure to catch Glass Onion in theaters during the week it was available (it would still be raking it in if Lionsgate hadn't ****ed up) {nm} donny blaze Dec 26, 14:56

In terms of trends... Qix Dec 25, 15:06

The sheer volume of content is squeezing theatrical for sure. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 25, 15:09

I feel like the amount of content is getting less and less... TheWeekendWarrior Dec 25, 15:55

I personally dont think critics have a big effect on releases. User reviews/ratings drive more interest now. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 25, 16:04

My opinion is some movie reviewers thought of themselves as critics and have written themselves out of a job rather than just reviewing a Catzan Dec 27, 11:52

People want to be entertained. Niche art house isn't that {nm} JayPrimetown Dec 25, 18:46

Bottom line.. Film quality needs to get better.. SpiderMan NWH and ToP Gon M clearly showed the audience is there for good concept takes. {nm} VictorY Dec 25, 16:38

Bingo! Waaaaay too many super hero movies - Marvel, DC, etc.. Now & then is fine, but don't make a film from EVERY Marvel character! {nm} Flash Dec 26, 10:09

And another thing...Disney is the big dog in the yard. Everyone cleared the way for Avatar to do 300m opening with a continuing leggy Catzan Dec 27, 22:31

This wasn't just one thing (and its not because studios want to make bad movies, thats stupidity talking) Moviesnob Dec 27, 23:51

Hollywood will make anything that makes money. They are in the midst of trying to deal with streaming and for some reason haven't realized Catzan Dec 28, 15:18
