According to sources, Netflix wants a 17-day exclusive theatrical window before moving to streaming, while theaters want a 45-day window. If Netflix goes with the 17-day option, it will begin in 2028, as 2027 will still be governed by theatrical deals with WB. After 2027, it will be up to Netflix. Netflix is adopting a similar 17-day approach for their upcoming Narnia (Nov. 26) film, which will be exclusive to IMAX for 17–21 days before releasing on Netflix on Christmas Day.https://www.ign.com/articles/netflix-reportedly-wants-to-keep-movies-in-theaters-for-just-17-days-after-it-buys-warner-bros
No one even goes to theaters anymore
>>217069659I do, I've seen like 13 movies in theaters this years, Superman twice
>>2170696592026 will change that
>>217069789didn't soulm8te get canned?
>>217069789It won't. The average NPC is getting tired of all the slop and barely has any money to spend due to the cost of living crisis. More than half these movies will bomb or be released straight to streaming
>>217069816It did, will be straight to VoD but list wasn't updated, the one who did it is in vacation and probably won't fix it even though we had Disclosure Day from Spielberg announced and that's a big event film.
>>217069789>28 Years Later: The Bone TempleWtf this is a real movie? I thought it was a parody pic first>Nia DaCostaYikes, hot steaming pile of shit incoming
>>217069847>barely has any money to spend due to the cost of living crisisMaybe in a 3rd world country lmaoWork harder poorfag
>>217069847>barely has any money to spend due to the cost of living crisisPoorfag spotted lol, average people are living now better than ever
>>217069621>kikeflixdon't care nigga
>>217069659Why do people keep pushing this bullshit? Everytime i go to the theater it's always full. It's still good to see movies on a big ass screen instead of a camrip on a tiny laptop
>>217069621Step 1: Increase the theatrical release windows for moviesStep 2: Start playing TV shows in theatersStep 3: Ban blacks and middle easterners from theatersIt was always that easy.
>>21706962117 days is about right.If theatres want longer, they need to do literally anything to make experience less atrocious. Overpriced tickets. Egregiously overpriced food. Bad maintenance. 10+ minutes of ad. Terrible
No one wants to goto theatres anymore. Full stop.
There ought to be a United States v. Paramount for streaming platforms. Break that shit up.
>>217069659I saw Better Man 3 times in theaters just because a movie of that magnitude can only be enjoyed at a theater. A 17-day window means that all we'll get is streaming slop meant for people with their dick in 1 hand and their smartphone in the other. Cinema will die if this goes through.
>>217069949>Egregiously overpriced food.ThisIt always used to be "lol we're selling food that costs a buck for 3 bucks" and we all fucking accepted it because "cinema food is expensive haha". Now it's fucking "prices have gone up from a buck to 2 bucks, so we're charging you ten". No wonder they're dying out.
>>217069949Is this an american problem? I live in Poland and never had any of these problems, all my theater experiences were great and I go a lot, I've seen over 36 movies in theaters in 2025. Maybe America truly is like India.
>>217069621>streaming after 2 weekslolThey keep making dogshit film after dogshit film and when they wonder why box office numbers are going down they think it’s the fault of the venue
>>217069941How many of those are latinos and flip families?
>>217069621movie theaters wouldn't have to compete with streaming if it were possible to watch movies in theaters without niggers playing on they sale phones during the whole movie or mexicans bringing their entire brood of screaming children into R rated films>>217070005don't worry your government finally caved to the jews so you're going to be very culturally enriched soon :) enjoy it while it lasts
wouldn't you want to have films only available in theaters now so nobody can pirate them?
>>217069621Simply the next step in theaters going under completely. Eventually it will be a week. Then it will be simultaneous release in theaters and on streaming. Then most theaters will shut down completely. Only a few left operating like drive-ins. They had a good run, but the internet is simply more convenient
>>217069949Why go to a movie in 17 days if it's on Netflix after 17 days? People will just wait for it to hit streaming, Netflix just accelerated the death of theaters, if we had 2 decades left for theaters, now we might only have like 6 years after Netflix starts this thing, then we hit it.
>>217070040doesn't work. There is a cam release online within hours of the first showing anywhere in the world
>>217070050i doubt they'll go away as a concept entirely but in order to survive they'll have to play classic films instead, people get more excited when a movie from the 80s is in movie theaters again than they care about the latest marvel slop
>>217069789IP slop. I feel like I’ve already seen all these movies.
>>217070022Problem is Netflix will make even worse garbage
>>217070055People already did that. Feels like a month and half to 2 months after shit releases in theaters is already on streaming. People stopped going to see Marvel movies because they knew it would eventually be on Disney plus. Why go to a theater and sit through all the fucking ads when you can watch it any time you want in the convenience of your home
>>217070089They’re doing this more in England. A cinema franchise is showing Lynch movies this month. Probably a way forward but not for large cinemas. Maybe the small theatre gets a comeback
>>217070081that's garbage quality, doesn't compare to something pirated from netflix or a bluray
>>217070055The percentage of people at the cinema going for a specific film is a minority. Most people at the cinema are there because they wanted to go to the cinema and then they picked the film later.That's why cinemas are dying btw: it's gotten too expensive and shitty so people more and more don't just go to one when they're bored or for a a date night or whatever as something to do.Keeping a film in cinemas for longer won't change that. It will just take longer for the film to reach a wider audience.
>>217070133I still have ads on all streaming platforms though and those literally play during the middle of the movie and so on, atleast in theaters it's only at the beginning before it starts.
>>217070143yeah small theaters will probably be the way going forward. hopefully they do a better job about not letting browns fucking ruin showings and show subhumans the door instead of what major chains do which is let them do whatever they want
>>217070169This is true for USA. In Europe the movie itself is the reason to go
Anyone who is happy about this, I wish them pain and misery.
>>217069621It's way easier for money laundering because there are no box office numbers
>>217070150Most people don't care. Boomers have been watching bootlegs for decades. Even younger generations don't mind. They'll watch the cam once and if it was good they'll wait for a netlfix/amazon release later and download it again
One of the best parts about going to the movies is seeing a really popular movie 3 or 4 weeks into its run and getting to see it in an empty theater
this is so funny, remember when we had to wait like 6 month for a movie to hit torrents? now 45 days is a worst case scenario
>>217070177And throughout the film via product placement. Never stop pirating. Help others to pirate.
>>217070150most of what comes out of major studios nowadays is garbage quality
>>217070169That's half right.A lot of people don't go for a specific film. But a lot of people do. The thing is, the people that do go early. Ie, in the first week. Which is why the box office drops off so rapidly after that (Avatar is a weird exception).The vast majority that see a film in the cinema outside of its first week are there for the sake of being at the cinema, not for that film in particular.
>>217069789you gen'd this image just nowright?
>>217070208You voted for it, chud. Did u really think Kamala would save cinema?
>>217070210a lot of people do care. i'd very rarely watch a shitty camrip
>>217070240>for the sake of being at the cinemaTeenagers fingering their girlfriends.
I hope so. The illusion of choice needs to be broken.
>>217070208I’m not happy it’s damaging the industry and a lot of people are about to lose their jobs but movies are so shit now and have been for a long time only the truly worthy ones of the cinema screen will get a theatre release so whatever. Netflix and Amazon disappear behind their streaming subscriptions
pirate chads never lose
What’s the expectation most directors/producers leave WB once they’re bought?
>>217069703But you’re a homosexual and you embarrass your dad.
>>217070349Not necessarily, some movies are so bad that even the pirates deserve a refund.
How long until we get a Batman/Stranger Things crossover
>>217070380Yeah, Villeneuve is leaving after Dune 3 anyway and Legendary will go to another distributor for Monsterverse Godzilla films.Only studios who will be commited to theatrical are Universal, Disney and Paramount and Amazon for some of their films. I also think studios will buy theater chains soon.
>>217070430This. Sinners was fucking SHIT
>>217070380Not high. Filmmakers need funding. That's why netflix was able to get so many in the first place. As much as Rian, Greta, Guillermo and others whine about netflix's practises, they all still signed the contracts and took their money anyway.
>>217070232like who the fuck says>aw darn it really sucks that Woke Franchise Reboot 6 and ANTIFA Revenge Porn Fantasy 2 have low quality rips, i wish i had paid money to see them in a theater instead!lmao
>>217070467Wake up dead man was kino though, better than Hollywood slop of last 5 years
>>217070380They'll still make money, they simply wont have their films exhibited in theaters for very long anymore. The world has changed. People have moved on. The industry needs to as well or it will truly die
>>217070467Wanting your films on the big screen and having some integrity seems like a good hill to die on. Did Nolan already leave WB?
>>217070497I would rather have it die than bowing down to modern audiences tastesJapan won btw.Nothing will ever compare to the Godzilla Saga of showa, heisei and reiwa so Hollywood might as well die.
>>217070489Go to bed Rian>>217070521Yet none of them are actually willing to die on that hill. They're all bark, no bite. Hence why they keep taking the netflix deals and then complaining afterwards like the terms weren't explicitly clear in advance.>Did Nolan already leave WB?Yeah he left because covid fucked Tenet's release and wb dumped it on streaming instead of waiting indefinitely to give it a proper theatrical release.Rumour is that they tried to bribe him to come back by claiming that they found like a $1m in additional royalties owed to him.
>>217069659>>217069941This years highlightsWarner Bros.' box office highlights this year:Minecraft: The Movie - $957,949,195Superman - $615,984,465The Conjuring: Last Rites - $482,212,628Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - $452,000,000Sinners - $367,000,000Final Destination: Bloodlines - $315,130,814Disney:Avatar 3 is gonna be 2 billion.Lilo & Stitch - $1,037,869,882Zootopia 2 - $1.147 billionThe Fantastic Four: First Steps - $521,858,728Freakier Friday - $153.2 millionParamount:Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning - $598.8 millionSmurfs (2025) - $120.8 million worldwideThe Naked Gun (2025) - $102.1 million worldwideUniversal:Jurassic World: Rebirth - $868,823,474How to Train Your Dragon - $636,200,831Wicked: For Good,- $475 millionDog Man - $145,601,687
>>217070521Did in 2021 when they announced the same day release strategy
>>217070564>I would rather have it die than bowing down to modern audiences tastesOf course you would. You're an autistic teenager who thinks your opinion is somehow objective fact because you've spent too long in internet echo chambers.
>>217069941Where's my AMC A-listers at? That deal is such a steal if you just watch at least 2 movies a month.
>>217070597I'm literally a local boxing champion you fucking faggot
>>217069986I just don't understand why they made Robin Williams a singer.
>>217069789I only want 2 movies on this list, god I hope there's more I don't know about.
>>217070581>minecraft didn’t make a billionHonestly what a flop. It had everything done in marketing to give the movie legs
>>217070605I got mine. Watched Avatar, Marty, and No Other Choice all in one weekend.
>>217069659lies
>>217070581Now contrast that with Netflix which makes 3 billion per month
>>217070641How it was a flop? It had a $150 million budget without marketing. I swear to God you fags don't know anything about how the industry works.
>>217070698>$3 billion per monthI call bullshit just like AI it's money laundering
>>217070633So you're just a regular idiot with brain damage?
>>217070703Should’ve made a billion. Literally everyone was talking about it they even made it an event to watch at the cinema and throw popcorn. Compare it to Zootopia 2 which I didn’t even know released
>>217070728They're buying WB. With a cash offer. Its not bullshit. The future is here, and it isn't theaters
>>217069789
>>217070768Yeah it’s unskippable adverts now for a movie you’ll hate by the end.
>>217069789Angry Birds 3 will be the only good one. And they forgot Coyote v. ACME
>>217069621Stranger Things finale made $25 million in one day in theaters, so it's clear people will go to theaters if there is something they wanna see, Netflix are idiots.There is just no large enough tv or big enough sound system to recreate the theatrical experience at home. And if there is I haven't heard of it yet. And who has enough money to invest in making a small theater for their house? A home cinema if you will.
Watching a movie like Avatar, Dune, Star Wars, Troy, The Lord of the Rings, etc. in the cinema is incomparable to watch it on your home no matter how big your screen is and how good your sound system is.I will keep watching all the movies I'm really interested in at the cinema. The rest I will watch them at home. I don't think there will come a day where all cinemas are gone, at least not during my lifetime. Maybe far into the future it could happen but not for now.
>>217070741Say that to my face you bitch, you have lots of courage online faggot
>>217070842I think theaters should legit do reruns of old big event films like those you mentioned, I'd pay money to see those in Imax.
>>217070852>internet tough guylmao, I'm laughing at you ironically just to be clear. You're not funny
>>217070746>Compare it to Zootopia 2 which I didn’t even know releasedMinecraft is boy coded, Zootopia is cute and cuddly and womanly so mothers will take their spawn to go and see it and drag their husbands too for a lecture on good female morals.
>>217070912Keep coping freak
>>217069941>movies on a big ass screenslop>camrip on a tiny laptopsovl
i don't understand, wouldn't this mean people wont watch their films on release?it'll just make people more inclined to watch other stuff
>>217069621Should I start investing in Universal stock and Disney?
>>217069621Theaters are the public transportation of movies. They used to be a thing because people couldn't watch movies at home. Now that we can all watch then in the comfort of our homes at the exact moment of release, why shouldn't we? If somebody wants to still go to theaters for some absurd experience of watching the movie with strangers who ruin your experience then they can pay extra for it if they want. Keeping theaters alive at the expense of people who do not want to use them is total bullshit.
>>217070842>the cinema is incomparableyeah, because you don't have to share it with random dickheads.
>>217069789It really is a dead medium isn't it?
>>217069986>all we will get is streaming slopThis
>>217070951Yea you take the family to see the animal movie and you hear>Oh my god that fox is voiced by the guy from Arrested Development WHAT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT?and just like that there goes your whole weekend
>>217069949>ten mintues of adsRegal has over 30 minutes not including trailers now
>>217070897Yeah I agree on that. I guess they don't do it because they think they won't make money. Sometimes they do reruns when is the anniversary of a movie like with Back to the Future recently but you have to wait 20 years for that. Why not cinemas that are only to show old movies? Could that work?
>>217071020Where I go people still behave, there is the ocasional uneducated person that speaks or makes a little more noise but generally is fine.
>>217070698Netflix has very low roi.It makes like few billion per year.>>217070728>>217070768Netlfix has inflated stock due to Jewish dark money magic
>>217071008No.Films make most of their money in the first week or 2 of release. Those people go because they want to watch the films in the cinema. It's why k-pop and stranger things still had high cinema turnouts.People who wait until streaming won't go to the cinema if the film is in the cinema longer. They'll just go longer without seeing it. So the company will make less money.
>>217069621If we look at Superman (2025) for example.Through its first 17 days in theaters it grossed 289 million at the domestic box office.Through its first 30 days in theaters it grossed 329 million at the domestic box office.Through its first 45 days in theaters it grossed 346 million at the domestic box office.Through its first 60 days in theaters it grossed 353 million at the domestic box office.Superman (2025) spent a total of 84 days in theaters grossing 354 million at the domestic box office.Superman (2025) grossed 93% of its total domestic box office in the first month in theaters. 98% through its first 45 days.And it only made decent money internationally because it legged well, after a terrible opening.And we're talking about a superhero film, a particular genre that tends to be frontloaded (in general).
>>217069659The theater experience is irreplacable. It's like listening to music with your headphones versus going to a concert.
>>217071020Only an american problem, I never had such a problem
>>217069621Who waits more than 2 weeks to see a new movie in theaters at this point? Most movies are dead in the water at theaters after a week at most. This makes perfect sense
>>217071147but people don't go to the cinemas anymore because they know it'll just be out on streamingthe effect will be increased with this reduced time window for theatrical to streaming
>>217071148>82% of its domestic box office in the first 17 days>stayed in cinemas another 2 months anyway
>>217071215and it pushed them out of it being a flop
>>217071211>but people don't go to the cinemas anymore because cinemas are largely shitty, overpriced experiences and they have home theatre systems that are much more enjoyable, and so films available on streaming are far more appealing than going to the cinemaftfy
>>217071192I watched Superman in its 4th weekend because I was in a 2 week vacation with my gf and then waited for my best friend to be free to watch it together. So it happens.>>217071018What a load of bullshit is your post, you fucking retard. I swear to God I only hear about bad theater experiences from Americans, I never had such encounters as an european. America truly was a mistake. Poland wins once more.
>>217071247people can't afford theatre systems
>>217071263Maybe it's time to let poorfags behind and make theaters exclusive for the rich like me
>>217071247It’s actully because they film everything on digital and most theaters use 2k projectors
>>217071237It underperformed no matter how you spin it. They could leave it in cinemas for an entire year, and it'd continue to make money. That wouldn't justify lost revenue from home video and streaming releases.
>>217071192i do because it's the best chance you have to avoid a movie theater full of niggers on cell phones and spics with 5 infants
>>217069621who gives a shit about nigflix? they're shit and don't make anything worthy of theatrical release
>>217070897> theaters should legit do rerunsThey do. I guarantee some theatre near you has this already it’s just not advertised much and you actually need to pay attention to their listings to find out a classic is being shown. Theatres love it because they make more money per ticket, the problem is finding the audience per the problem we see here.
>>217071018>public transport is bad and theatres are ruined (because of a certain unnamed group)Ask me how I know you’re amerifat
>>217071247 #It’s actully because they film everything on digital and most theaters use 2k projectors.When everything was 35mm the worse you had to worry about was a theater undervolting the $10,000 bulb. But everyone got the same film (35 mm is chemical and does not have resolutions but a professional camera is roughing eq to 8k, but can go up to 20MP with the right lenses and lighting in a scan) .Theaters don’t feel magical any more because you are watching a 2k projector with all the color auto corrected (washed out) which is 4 times or more as worse as it used to be. You are not exactly aware of it, but it’s just a little less real
>>217071343Did you miss the part about them buying Warner bros? Which makes 20% of all films?
>>217071577did you miss the part where I called netflix a name to indicate I don't like them? that matters so much more than reality.
>>217069621Who gives a fuck. I'm not going to watch any of the slop they put out regardless of where it's played.
>>217071260>>217071430I'm not American. There are zero positive aspects to watching a movie with strangers in a room you have zero control over. The people there can stink and be loud, you can't pause the movie to go to the bathroom or to get a beer, you can't decide when you want to watch the movie, you can't eat whatever you want in the theater etc. If you prefer adding all those negatives to your experience then that's your choice and I shouldn't suffer for it.
who cares. stage plays and radio broadcasts use to be important tooits time to let go and move on
So Netflix's plan is to choke hold the theatre industry, then overtake as the only platform to watch movies, and eventually new movies exclusively. They're definitely doing movie villain shit.
>>217069949>>217071051>30 minutesThis is a non-issue. The point of these ads aren't for you to watch them; it's for you to buy food, take a piss, and get settled all in that 30 minutes. If you're arriving early like a boomer, you're the problem.
>>217071888Three words in and I know you have nothing of value to say
>>217069789>dunc messiahdid the dunc witchs tv show get more than 1 season?
>>217069621I don't get it what difference does it make to the netflixcuck who doesn't want to go to a cinema if he watches it after 17 days or 45 days
>>217071978>217071978I’m not a fatass so I don’t buy food because I magically can go 2 hours without eating suger or popcorn oil, and I can piss before I leave home, settling in takes 30 seconds , if I arrive late I have to push by people in the dark
>>217071944Good. Fuck theatres for checking vaxxpasses.
>>217072027>I have no arguments so I'll pretend I didn't read any of that
>>217072112and you'll still be crying about it for the next 10 years while everyone else has moved on
>>217072057because if someone goes to the cinema to see films there's less of a chance they'll pay for a netgoy subscription, they have a vested interest in destroying WB after they buy it
>>217072215Yes, and theatres will be closed and dead, and you can cry about it and whine about 'villains' for next 50 years.
>>217072221WB did a pretty good job destroying themselves over the past 30 years.
>>217069621Why did WB reject the higher offer from paramount to accept netflix's buyout that's worse for the movies they'd make?
>>217072090but you're clearly a retard who can't just come 30 minutes after knowing everyone with a brain is in their seats
>>217069621Fuck Netflix. Fuck Streaming. Fuck smartphones and social media. Fuck the modern world. I still go see movies on FILM at my local historic theater.I will never join you.
>>217069621The problem is muliplexs were a dumb idea. Used to be one huge screen, then they subdivided existing theaters into 5 screens and new ones built are 10+. With maybe one big screen. They take up a huge amount real estate tax, take tons of money to a/c and to maintain and staff. They are like huge laberyths. They are not even really great anchor stores anymore. The 1980-2010 model needs to go, we need 3 plex theaters again, that show the blockbuster, the mature drama and either a rom/com or kids film. >>217072221Interesting point
>>217071485>but a professional camera is roughing eq to 8k, but can go up to 20MP with the right lenses and lighting in a scanAnd congrats on outing yourself as an idiot who doesn't know what they're talking about and is (badly) regurgitating something they read (probably on plebbit).8k is a much higher resolution than 20mp. Also, last I heard, kodak estimated that standard 35mm film had an equivalent resolution of 6k (which is roughly 20mp, depending on aspect ratio).
>>217072351>boomeryellingatclouds.jpg
>>217072280Because Skydance wanted to buy the TV networks too and Zaslav wants to keep them when he's done with the studios
>>217072318Tell you what, I'll settle in the comfort of my home without 45 minutes of ads, while theatres die out like they deserve.
>>217072351Ok boomer.
>>217072385Whatever, it’s an estimate, the point is the theater I was a projectionist in replaced all thier projectors with 2k digital when the switch came, and this was a “prestige “ brand. Almost no theater actully used 8k projectors or 6k projectors between 2010 and 2020, so it was objectively worse picture, and made even worse in the bigger screens
>>217072351You're on an anime website. You've already joined us, dipshit
Why does Netflix want to kill theaters?Instead, why not double-dip, sell theater tickets, and then their subscription.
>>217071008>>217071147studios get a higher revenue share from the first few weeks of a movie's run so they are incentivized to market towards that. maybe if studios could own theatres it would be different
>>217070800>AIslopfitting
>>217071577that doesn't mean shit, nigflix will just ruin any wb properties
>>217072505shortsighted retards, they just want all of the IPs that WB has so they can make a bunch of Batman and Harry Potter streaming shows and then cancel them after 1 season when they all aren't mega hits like Stranger Things right away
>>217072484The shitty cinema in the middle of nowhere that hosted a low attendance film festival I attended had 4k projectors in literally every one of its screens. Maybe you just live in a shithole?
Lol what
>>217072280Because it doesn't matter. Paramount was actually the first big studio to call for a reduced theatrical release window. They also put like a third less movies in theaters last year than in 2024 and have removed shit like avatar for this year. Whoever wins the bidding war will be bad for theaters.
>>217069621Netflix isn't pushing hard enough. Two hours in theaters take it or leave it.
>>217072447The 45 minus of ads ties into >>217072368theaters are too big and too expensive to run, if you look at ones built in newly developed areas in the last 20 years they take up the footprint of a mega sized block. Land is simplest expensive before you even add the a/c and vacuuming and repaints all the time.Btw on a per hour basis all theaters lose money being open Monday-Thursday and before 5pm on Friday through Saturday. The staff alone outways the intake after cost. The only reason theaters don’t close for the week till Friday at 5 pm is if you start doing that people stop coming at night too to punish you, it’s dumb, because they are not even coming.

>>217069789bone temple, scream 7, & mk2 are the only ones i want to pay to seethe others that i will most likely pay to see are mando, odyssey, spider-man & dunesday
Destroying cinema?What the fuck I love Netflix now.
>>217072733>Paramount changes it's policy weekly.Yea and the one policy they didn't change was less movies in theaters. Netflix had roughly the same amount of movies last year in theaters that paramount will have this year which is really fucking sad for both parties
>>217069789>dune messiahisn't that the one where the whole book takes place in the throne room?
>>217072935Paramount also promised 30 movies a year.It's just poorly run ATM.It can be improved.Netflix hates cinemas by design
>>217069941>It's still good to see movies on a big ass screen instead of a camrip on a tiny laptopNobody ACTUALLY watches camrips on laptop screens anymore, it isn't 2010. You can buy a 65+ inch screen for peanuts these days, even if it isn't OLED. I've even seen 32" PC monitors.
>>217072821>So we agree that 4k is still 2/3 as good as a 35 mm then right per your post here? I don’t think that was the digital projector own you thought it wasIt was pointing out that your anecdotal experience is just that and not indicative of the state of everything.If you really want to get into it, digital projectors were used long before 2015, which would have been 1080p, and I've literally never heard a single person complain about the projector's quality.Because of the way projectors are built (lens sharpness and all the rest), the final image is too blurry to possibly see individual pixels unless you went to a state of the art cinema. And if you did that, the screen is so large, and your distance so far away, that you can't see it.No one sits in a cinema and goes "this image isn't as sharp actually". Nevermind quantifying it by saying "this image is only 2/3 as sharp as it should be" (nevermind that that maths is misleading at best, depending by how you want to define sharpness)And to doubly get into it, analogue and digital can't even be compared like that. Kodak only gave an estimate because a literal equivalency can't be established. Analogue has unlimited resolution but that's not the same as unlimited sharpness. A 1080p digital print will be a fucklot sharper than a 35mm projection of a low budget film that's been worn thin from repeated plays 30 years ago.
>>217072973Ted Sarandos Netflix didn't have a studio yet for theatrical business, now they do. They don't hate cinema. If they hated it then kino like Knives Out trilogy wouldn't exist.
>>217072935>>217072973netflix literally buys movie theaters so they can screen netflix movies in the theaters and then put them online a month laterin the industry we call this "double dipping"
>>217072112Yeah but think about what other technology is up and coming at the moment - AI. If streaming becomes the only way to watch new movies in the future and Netflix decides to promote AI, they can push out films quicker and cheaper, dropping the overall quality of movies forever.
>>217069789lmao that doesn't even have what will likely be the three biggest success stories of the year, Iron Lung, Resident Evil and Remian. Whoever made that is VERY out of touch
>>217073055I disagree.As I said in the first post, people are not aware of it consciously , but subconsciously they feel films are not as magical and this is due to the loss of detail.>block-o-txt crits you for double damage.I accept your written novel as your concession of losing. Better luck next thread.
>>217072973>Paramount also promised 30 movies a year.Yea and no one should believe them. If you do you're retarded. They haven't released over 30 movies a year since they actually owned the movie theaters. Even if they get WB I wouldn't expect more than a few more movies a year from them.
>>217073092>dropping the overall quality of movies forever.That will be happening for as long as SAG-AFRA exists.
>>217073097>Iron Lung
>>217073161>knowing things is actually cringeThanks for the brainrot
>>217069621The theaters are filled with noisy black people. But so is Netflix. It's a lose/lose.
>>217073074I wish Netflix would buy my dying theater and screen old movies they have the rights to. They can show trailers for their new show and sell merchandise at the concession stand. Maybe have selfie spaces where you take selfies with cardboard cutouts. That's synergy.

>>217069941Dan Murrell youtube always shows the spending on movies and its almost the same as pre-covid. I suppose if you adjust for inflation its 20% less tickets sold but its simply natural for that to happen since there are just so many ways to watch movies. I bet the generally speaking amount of people watching movies is the same.>>217070005We are like First World India if you will I personally never had any horror stories at a movie ever since I moved to a wealthy neighborhood. Its just POSSIBLE for you to be at a place like India.
>>217073161>novelYou're an illiterate nigger.
>>217073190Netflix is a business, not an entire industry that can change and evolve over time based on viewers demands. All Netflix is interested in is making profit, and not just profit, but more profit than the last year. And yes, they can use this large market share of the entertainment business to altar what people see on TV.
>>217073351>All Netflix is interested in is making profitDemonstrably not true. They step over dollars to pick up dimes all the times.
>>217073204But you don’t know anything, 4k is 2k less than 6k and that is only if we agree 35 mm is only 6k, which is a stretch.Movie theaters objectively downgraded when they switched to digital projection . And most theaters, at least in Los Angeles , a major market, were 2k between 2010 and 2020
>>217069789There isn't a single movie in that image I would be willing to pay for.
>>217070634whos robin williams?
>>217069621waiting months so movies are finally outside of theaters is such a outdated boomer garbage idea.i have a led projector at home it makes no sense why i should be forced to fucking wait for something that is already released can we move on from this outdated idiotic model

>>217073510but muh economy but muh film culture but muh silver screen ("silver screen" showing nothing but left wing agitprop and franchise reboots/remakes)
>>217073397And why do you think that is? They're model was just to flood the market with content quantity over quality, establishing themselves in the market. Now they're actually making a play. People recognise company brand, company brand expands, people now participate in brand that holds large market. Where do you think that leads in your mind?

>>217070829>recreate the theatrical experienceTrue, but people don't really care. A big flat screen and lazy click click watch beats out the cost and effort to go to a theater....But Netflix is forgetting people are still snobs. Then want to see a talked about and promoted decent theater ran film. Everything else is still tainted as direct to home video trash. So don't know if a 17 day window helps if your products are viewed as direct to streaming crap with a forced limited theater run.

>>217069621oh no!
>>217070089I would go the other wayImagine watching True Detective or Chernobyl or The terror on theaters, that would be sick as fuck
>>217069621short AMC
>>217073923i mean chernobyl wouldn't have the hype probably because it's only 1 season. if they dualcasted stranger things in the cinema and on streaming from s2 onwards they could have made tons of money
>>217073923idk if i'd go to a movie theater for an entire day to watch a show, nor do i think i would go to one over the course of days or weeks to watch a show. maybe the finale to a really good show.
>>217069659i'm going to avatar in 2 hours
>>217069659I go at least once a month
>>217073564day of the pillow for theaters is approaching fast boomer, better cherish the memories of sitting in a dirty seat, in a popcorn stinking loud theater
>>217074143
>>217069789I'm literally going to see none of these. I'm interested in Mario but a grown man can't go see Mario alone.I mean I could but I'd get suspicious/dirty looks.
>>217070216>remember when we had to wait like 6 month for a movie to hit torrents? now 45 days is a worst case scenarioLook at a movie like Eddington, for instance, which bombed so hard at the box-office that it was available to torrent in perfect 4K quality less than a month after its U.S. theatrical release date. I literally got to watch it at home on my OLED TV before it even got its official cinema release here in Australia a week later.
>>217069621I don't care about cinema, I care about netflix ending DVD/BD releases and forcing me to sign up to a shitty subscription service instead of just buying a copy once.
>>217069789They're making another Fockers movie? Christ wasn't Little Fockers enough?!
>17 days and I can torrent webdls of new releasesbased jewflix
>>217069621Is it time to load up on IMAX Puts, Bobros?
>>217074077That's a marketing/audience problem to be solved, there's probably a model that worksLike running one episode per week, with nocturnal runs of the following episode, so you could have two per week if you care or follow one if you don't have the timeThere's a model that works for sure, that's not a prohibiting problem>>217074052Running miniseries would surely be better/easier to accomodate than saying running the whole Game of Thrones
>>217069941Because the streaming business is hemorahging money and "people" don't want americans to have a shared mono-culture.So "they" have to destroy the movie going experience.
>>217074407no it's not a model problem it's fucking retarded to go somewhere else for 8 hours to watch a tv series when i could just watch it at home and pause and eat and piss and shit whenever i want and not miss a second of it
>>217071978>If you're arriving earlyim not arriving early. im there on time. the show time. what it says and is advertised as on the ticket. 30 minutes of ads at showtime, before the movie starts, is retarded.
I kind of understand the logic since most movies make all their money in the first 2-3 weeks with the exception of movies released around Christmas.But if you're telling the audience they can watch it for free at the homes if they wait 17 days, no one is going to go see anything in theaters.
>>217070842>Star Wars, Troy, The Lord of the RingsStreaming was barely a thing when those movies were released though. YouTube didn't even exist until 2005. It's just completely different now. Most people were still buying physical media like DVDs until 2010.
>>217070842>Watching a movie like Avatar, Dune, Star Wars, Troy, The Lord of the Rings, etc. in the cinema is incomparable to watch it on your home no matter how big your screen is and how good your sound system is.Most people don't give a shit about that.They'd watch it on their phone at 720p through the phone's monospeaker if they could.
>>217069789>no MiA movie

>>217074681I go into the bathroom stalls and make fart noises to make the atmosphere uncomfortable.
>>217069847>average NPC is getting tired of all the slopdo you niggers really think that when squidd game and stranger things are the biggest tv related shows rn
>>217069789based cinema enjoyer but you filled it up with too much capeslop
>>217072720>The only reason theaters don’t close for the week till Friday at 5 pm is if you start doing that people stop coming at night too to punish you, it’s dumb, because they are not even coming.Kek they already do in my area, during fucking Halloween it was near impossible for me to find even Black Phone 2/Weapons playing before Fridays at 5pm. Back then the only movie I could find playing on Thursday nights and on Fridays after 3pm was Dicaprio's antifa fantasy movie.
>>217071155Shouldn't you say it's like listening to music with bookshelf or floorstanding speakers versus going to a live concert?
