The idea for them is to become like HBO: Excellent original entertainment that can't be found elsewhere while licensing blockbuster films. |

As for expectations, Disney came in a minimum of $250 million short of expectations (The Last Jedi) but they still earned the most of any film division in the world. $11.1 billion in ticket sales represents an appeal to customers. As for the theaters appealing to the "larger masses", I'm not quite sure what you're asking. |

People are always looking for things to do. Going to a movie is an experience that will always be wanted. Sure you can always watch the movie at home but many ppl just go to movies for a reason to get out of the house.

Those Prime seats are amazing, and nobody will ever duplicate the feel or sound of a movie in their house, no matter how close they get. Movie going is as much an experience as the movie itself, imo.

Ive been with Netflix since the DVD rental days. They have stepped up the quality of their recently released original content. Competition is a good thing. It pushes everyone to make a better product. Last edited by BigRedChief; 02-18-2018 at 03:37 PM.. |

So many more parts to this but I am too tired to get into it today. In short, the idea that kids are gonna stop going to movies is ridiculous, as they are the ones who drive ticket sales.
Also, no one giving foreign sales enough credit for their impact. It's why some people won't work with Netflix, because you don't actually own your content with foreign participation. |

thats what competition will do. First one to give up the foreign piece to the artist, will open the floodgates.

I wouldn't be opposed to scoring a Netflix original but it would have to be something "easy" and in my "wheelhouse" in which I could crank out quickly because opposed to other networks, it's not worth the time. |

And crank that volume up. I'm willing to wear ear protection as long as they drown those people out. Not that I see very many films in theaters anymore. |

And forget about IMAX. It's so loud that I should probably wear ear protection. |

Ive noticed that sound and projection varies alot from theater to theater. I have my favorites in my area and some theaters i flat out refuse to give money to anymore. They dont care about the quality of the presentation.

I had a particularly bad experience the day after Thanksgiving 2017 at AMC Burbank 16, which is normally excellent. I'm a Stubs Premiere Member and as such, always receive a survey after visiting. I voiced my displeasure in a nice way and a few days later, the theater manager contacted me. He thanked me for informing him of the experience and sent 8 AMC Red Passes in the mail. I've noticed that the service has been better since. |
