The Future of the Entertainment Industry
This thread is being started as a spin-off (see what i did there) from the NFL ratings decline thread in the Lounge. Trying to take advantage of Dane's knowledge of the industry, I asked what the future of movie-making is, given the shift in demographics and how younger generations are receiving content.

I also wondered whether movie theaters would go the way of the dodo, or more specifically Blockbuster, and my kids would be telling their kids about how they used to exist but now don't.

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.
Regal in my area isn’t very good

The best ones In my area are Santikos. It’s a local chain here in Texas.

I also like Drafthouse, but some of their theaters aren’t very well maintained and stink of beer and food.

I would love to see this, but pirating would destroy their revenue since one stream could be ripped and offered to everyone for free.

Sucks, but I think that’s what scares them.

Pirating isn’t the only issue. Putting the Exhibitors out of business isn’t exactly the byproduct they want.

In addition, the major studios would be devaluing their product by allowing same day VOD.

It’s a very complex issue.

l don’t see any way that movie theatres go away anytime soon. How else are the studios going to make a BILLION$’s on a movie without theatres?

So jealous of all the choices the rest of you have. We have two theaters in our city. One for first runs and the other for the cheap rerun. We have no Imax, no huge screens, no reclining seats, and no leg room. Its infuriating.

OH, and not to mention, our theaters cost more than the KC theaters 70 miles away.

The film production companies don’t want to ruin their business model and put the exhibitors out of business. It’s relationship that spans decades. I’m sure it’s a very complex issue.

I have 0. The closest one is 50 miles away and it is hot garbage.

guess theatres will survive anyway, but maybe only in moderately big towns, where there are enough people to spend their money on the show. most will inevitably stick to netflix and the like

I know that you guys live more than 2,000 miles away from me but I often forget how life can be so much different there than where I live.

I guess that maybe I take all these amenities for granted.

Thanks for the reminder.

yeah l was bitching in one of these threads about the closest theatre to me not having the recliner seats. I’ve got another 3 state of the art theatres within 15-25 minutes of my house. I was assuming it was that way in most non-rural Areas.

I see how many options there are in KC alone and also when I visit Omaha. It just pisses me off how Topeka is so damned backwards. Shit, even Lawrence has a theater with recliners for crying out loud.

That said, I know if Topeka upgraded their theater whey would also upgrade the pricing. Its already more expensive than a KC theater. I'd hate to see what they would charge for Imax here. Would probably rival California prices.

I think producers/directors/screen writers are guilty of the same.

In a lot of films they honestly don't think they've put political themes/messaging in their work but to anyone not on either coast it's heavy handed.

And I think brand name has a big influence on if someone is willing to plop down $50 for a family of 4 to go watch a flick out. I can only think of two (Marvel and early Pixar) studios that continually put out a solid product and you EXPECT the next one you watch to be as good or better.

Once you've established this type of positive relationship with the ticket-buyer even your 3 star movies bring in 4 star profits...

Here in Jeff we're living in the 90's.

We do have 3D films here but the theater itself is an early 90's relic...
