Basically this. I've voiced this before - the problem is that the current theatrical model can't sustain a movie that's not a major tentpole or Nolan or Cameron opening on most screens globally the same week. Hence streaming coming in to fill that gap. We would have all legally seen Sorry To Bother You, Eighth Grade or Sisters Brothers (the year's biggest culprits of the failures of traditional theatrical) had Annapurna and A24 sold international at least to Netflix.Ruth wrote: ↑December 15th, 2018, 6:11 pmThe answer should be obviousMaster Virgo wrote: ↑December 15th, 2018, 5:50 pmWhich one is better? Some people getting to watch this at home and help the film earn money or those people not seeing it at all, and the film ends up struggling at the box office?£
People treat this as some kind of tragedy for ~real film~ and it’s true if the only way to see films like this in the future will be on streaming services, but the truth is less mainstream stuff has been put on the back burner for years, and a lot of people wouldn’t even get the chance to see stuff for months at all
it’s not netflix or amazon prime’s (or whatever) fault, it’s us. It’s pretty much just us, we just don’t want to see any of these films enough to go out and pay for the theatrical experience. It’s not a complete black and white issue, there are lots of variables that have accumulated over the years that worsen the issue for everybody, but at the end of the day, the industry gives us what we want.
masterpiece, obviously
