At $25 a pop, people will wait for it to be on BluRay.
Or not go.
Speilberg and his associates aided the coup d’etat
against the American people and their allies.
I’ve thought for a long time that true entrepreneurs would break the grip Hollywood has on entertainment and enter this market and give us much better product at a lower price.
Dinosaurs always die.
I would not pay anything to see a movie today.
I get several movie channels via my satellite service, but they are mostly garbage with little more then mass killing and explosions.
What was the last movie with the class of “Gone With the Wind”?
I would never in a lifetime pay 25 bucks for a movie ticket.
Well, maybe you should stop releasing crap then, huh, guys?
The TV industry is already imploding.
They cancelled/ended 38 series this season. Many of those were pulled after only a couple of episodes.

Perhaps the problem is Hollywood, in general, and the lack of original ideas.
Why are movie stars so overpaid then? There is a profitability problem within the industry clearly, and a major part of the expenditure on any given film is the stars’ wage bill. Time for them all to take a paycut methinks, as they do not reflect their real value to their employers.
I have watched on TV or gone to the theater, about one movie per year.
And I have to be dragged to THAT movie.
Hollywood is ridiculous and filthy. There is no way I am supporting them in any form or fashion.
>>>”you’re probably only going to have to pay $7 to see Lincoln.”
Actually, I wouldn’t pay anything to see Lincoln.
Spielberg has made pretentiously overblown predictions about the film industry in the past (such as claiming that the new digital technologies will bring “new kinds of stories that we’ve never seen before”). He was wrong then — the new digital technologies simply make it easier (and to some extent, cheaper) to tell the same sorts of stories we’ve seen since Adam and Eve committed the sin of disobedience — he is probably wrong now. The fact is, no one can really predict what sort of business model the film industry will adopt. It’s not his decision to make, after all.
I haven’t paid to see their liberal propaganda and filth in years.
We'll just enjoy watching older good movies made when Hollywierd did't hate and insult us, we'll also read the book, if it's worth it.
The rot is rotting away? I don’t have a problem with that.
Ping for later.
***George Lucas agreed that massive changes are afoot, including film exhibition morphing somewhat into a Broadway play model, whereby fewer movies are released, they stay in theaters for a year and ticket prices are much higher.***
I remember back in the early 1970s when some movies (ANDROMEDA STRAIN or PATTON) would play in a theater for months as a first run movie.
Then go to second run theaters for a few days.
Then go to TV as a chopped up movie.
I remember when independent film makers would rent a theater for one day during the week to run a movie. It was called “4 walling”.
The advertisements on TV would run a quick trailer, then a voice over repeating the names real fast of the towns the film would be playing. ONE DAY ONLY! DONT MISS IT!
He’s right.
***There’s going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen megabudget movies are going to go crashing into the ground, and that’s going to change the paradigm.”***
Much like the overblown MUSICALS and COMEDIES of the 1960s and 1970s.

While funny, they were too long and WAY overproduced.
I was never bored with LAWRENCE OF ARABIA or BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI or THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN.
Another bit to consider is that when computer generated characters are perfected, live actors will not be needed. AAnother plus will be that any person (or famous actor) can be resurrected and star in the next blockbuster movie.
No actors. No fortunes to imbeciles. No blowhards telling us how to live.
Downside: Ronald Reagan can be filmed in any sort of leftist fantasy film they choose - and they will choose to do so. Goebbels will look like a total piker.
Good.
Can’t wait.
Note to the GOP: Don’t bail these morons out. Let them fail and fail big.
