#2kind of unfortunate, I heard Furiosa was actually a good movie. though, I personally haven't been to the movies in about 6 years or so.

So did streaming releases + sub $1k 80 inch 4k TVs. The value of going to a theater at this point is almost nonexistent for most people.

#5The solution is painfully obvious for anyone who isn't actually involved in milking every last red cent out of media: make movies people actually want to see, and not just shameless cash grabs recycling everything from 1980 onward. Of course, now every suit expects every movie to gross a billion dollars, so that's not going to happen. It's a fun dream, though.

I love movie theatres. I hate stupidly expensive popcorn and people talking and using their phones the entire time.

#7It really does feel like there has been very little originality in movies in the last decade or so. Too many comic book movies, sequels/prequels, and remakes. Couple that with the price of movies going up, and many times audience annoyances with people on their phones or just being otherwise distracting and it makes the desire to go see a movie in a theater pretty low for me.

#8A variety of mediums replaced casual movie going for a portion of people who used to go. Now I think a movie has to particularly resonate with the wider audience in order to get people to go out at all.
Even beyond that, I wonder if the current young generation even watches tv or movies at all? Or do they watch youtube/twitch and play video games instead?

#9The article compares The Little Mermaid with Furiosa. The two movies cannot be any more different. I saw Furiosa and enjoyed it a lot. It's not a kid's movie... I think a summer blockbuster needs to appeal to a wider crowd.

Any attempts to streamline a risky creative endeavor are doomed to eventually realize like EA that churning out Sports FC * (nee FIFA) / Madden NFL * is financially optimal.
