>Sources have told Deadline that Netflix have been proponents of a 17-day window which would steamroll the theatrical business, while circuits such as AMC believe the line needs to be held around 45 days.>If Netflix does force through a 17-day window, it could affect everything from James Gunn's DC Universe movie, Man of Tomorrow (July 9, 2027), to The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum (December 17, 2027). Then there's Matt Reeves' The Batman: Part 2, which is due out October 1, 2027, and Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, due out March 26, 2027. How would the likes of James Gunn, Andy Serkis, Matt Reeves and other directors of Warner Bros. movies react to their work having less than three weeks in theaters before hitting Netflix?https://www.ign.com/articles/netflix-reportedly-wants-to-keep-movies-in-theaters-for-just-17-days-after-it-buys-warner-bros
>Stranger Thing Season 5 finale, which made $25 million in theaters after it released at the same time theatrically as it did on NetflixWait why did they do that
directors will just go to different studios
>>151977833Netflix is trying to impress idiots. I've seen with my own two eyes some people make the case that Netflix putting ST's ending in a limited theatrical release for two days is proof that they won't fuck over cinemas.
I hope WB suffers a brutal death. everyone warned them, now they really gonna get fuxked raw.
>>151977817Yeah no seventeen days is far too short.
>>151977817>WB rejected Paramount for this
>>151977863until there are no unmerged studios left
>>151978010we still have a good few years before that will happen
>>151977833Because it is literal free money?They also put Kpop in theaters for a weekend and made 20 million
>>151977817Why would anyone bother with a theater if they can watch it at home on the service they are already paying for within 2 weeks?This is why home releases back in the VHS/DVD days were about 6 months to a year after theaters. It made buying a ticket worth it.
>costs $20-30 plus tip to see any movie in theaters now>17 day window removes any remaining desire to see it before streaming>theater chains shut down due to unsustainable attendance>netflix jacks up prices to infinity now that they're the monopolyand people think this is cool because now they get Harry Potter vs. Stranger Things AI multiverse
>>151978045do americans really tip theatre employees
>>151978058>he doesn't know
>>151977817
>>151978045>costs $20-30 plusOnly if you’re a fatass buying food and drinks. A ticket is only $15.
>>151977833It was for some prizes
>>151978118It depends on location and venue. An AMC in the middle of nowhere may have $8 tickets whereas one in Times Square has $35. Prices also flex based on the time of day and type of movie due to confusing, all-encompassing AI algorithms the chains have snuck in the last couple years. If you don't feel burn right now, it's only a manner of time.Thankfully I go to a local art cinema and try to make use of discount days whenever I venture to a chain. I even see free movies often, but most normalfags aren't deal hunters. It hurts me whenever I see a loved one shill out a fortune for a movie because it's near a theme park.
>>151978118>A ticket is only $15Including tax and the convience fee it's closer to 18 dollars.
>>151978118Still ridiculous. Matinee tickets in the 90s cost about the same as a comic book. A comic today is 4 to 5 dollars.
>>151977817This is just the beginning. Soon Netflix will stop all Blu-Ray/DVD/PhysicalMedia production.The only way to watch WB stuff will be on Netflix.RIP Warner Archive
>>151978058You have to tip pretty much everyone.
>>151977817>Pay $18.50 to watch a new movie in theaters when it comes outor>Wait two weeks to watch it on the streaming service for $8.00 a month that I am already paying for that's a tough one guys...
>>151978109Santa Batman
>>151979755>implying they're not going to raise prices on top of keeping Warners content in a paywall under the "HBO bundle"
>>151978125Prizes?
