So does Steve Soderbergh.
"He and another panelist, movie mogul Todd Wagner, proposed several cures: a salary cap for actors, a closing of the "windows" between when a film plays in theaters and when it is released on other platforms, simplification of budgets and contracts, increased incentives for movie theater owners and a cessation of pre-film on-screen advertising."

ReplyDeleteMovie theatres suck anymore. Overpriced crappy food that people like me, with a medical problem, can't eat anyway but am I allowed to bring in what I can eat? No. Discrimination, and then I've paid all that money to watch ads.
If I physically go to one movie a year, that's pushing it anymore.
It's not the theatres that keep me from the movies. It's high prices due to hollywood paying so much to make films ( a lot of it going to actors. The food cost is not that big a deal to me.)
ReplyDeleteBut the biggest reason I prefer to watch at home is I don't like the other people in the theatre. I much prefer to watch at home with the volume where I like it set, no interuptions and if I need to pause I can.
Hollywood also needs to think about why they are losing money in the theatres a bit harder. They neve consider that a lot of the movies they churn out suck....
