Capitalism/woke economics at work.

Disney made it up on streaming, and then some

I doubt we’ll ever see another movie at a theatre...we don’t go to many as it is...

40 years huh? Isn’t that about the time that the last original thought was made into a movie? Also, every movie wasn’t a skin flick back then. Also, they didn’t have preschoolers cursing like career Navy men. I didn’t notice a whole bunch of creepy homosexuals starring as leading men (at least the ones that were, ahem Rock Hudson, hid it well).

If they sold 10 tickets they'd beat 1943. In the 60s my mother would give me 50 cents to go to the Saturday afternoon move. That half dollar got me in, a box of popcorn and a coke.
Now it's $15-20 a piece with snuck in snacks and water and unless it's an Eastwood movie it usually sucks. All fluff and cussing, no real acting anymore.

MAYBE they need to start making movies about:

Homosexuals struggling to be accepted
The evils of Fracking and Man-made Climate Change
Interracial Marriages and acceptance
The Evils of Conservatism
Christian activism as hatred

GO FOR IT Hollywood! It is the only way back.

Out of all the sour business news in the communist states, a ray of sunshine.

Unfortunately the lefties have plenty of money they can hold out for a very long time, then continue their anti-male, anti-straight, anti-America, and anti-God films in a year or so.

Good! Let all of those pedophiles do real work.

[a fool in paradise]

Define box-office.

Most major movie and music production companies own stakes in online streaming services.

They are still taking in money. Movie theater or desktop, it makes no difference to them. With music they realized that they can even bump the numbers and have “platinum” albums with ZERO sold product.

Were they expecting something different?

[lepton]

Presently, domestic revenue for 2020 stands at around $2.2 billion, according to Comscore. [...]

Foreign ticket sales are hovering around $9 billion, thanks to a full-blown recovery in Asian markets including China, Japan and South Korea. Last year, global ticket sales hit a record $42.5 billion; this time around, it will be down at least 70 percent.

This is likely to further shift movie-making to cater to non-US audiences.

Let China make up the difference since Hollywood seems to be on their side against America

What a shame. Hollywood is dead.

[Cobraman_SC]

GOOD!

So you want to relegate millions in the media industry to working minimum wage subsistence jobs instead?

[RC one]

Gosh, that is such a shame.
