That’s a tricky one, bc I do love going to the movies, if it’s a nice theatre, but DAMN it’s like PAYING to be pissed off, if I go out of my way to see a movie and it’s crowded or I’m near a shitty person or shitty people. At home it’s PERFECT every time compared to going out and rolling the dice on how chill or bullshit the public experience might be🥴
This will not do much. There's so much competition, that it eventually ate half the pie. I don't see a path to where it was. Some studios will die off, and some will make more with a smaller budget. I'm just hoping they decide to make original content.
The problem with Hollywood is they are manufacturing their own failures from every angle. From driving changes in viewing habits, downgrading product, overwhelming the market, the streaming wars in general were dumb from the beginning etc. then the biggest issue…. Lack of talent. As someone who works in the industry here in Hollywood it’s very infuriating to watch
The only way to gain success in the entertainment world is independent cinema. Indie films especially indie animation has become very popular lately as it draws so much attention and interest from people who wanted to watch a really good and entertaining film or show! That is the key: independent filmmaking and animation are the key to success!
@@Fusesiesu It’s short for independent. An indie film or song/band (of a pop group, record label, or film company) not belonging to or affiliated with a major record or film company.
@@VALonUA-cam you know what he means. Even though all those movies flopped, tons of people recognize that the once well known Hollywood stars are almost all gone. People know the pop culture character or characters that the movie is about like superheroes and people know whatever lame ass UA-cam star or social media star as the main character. Back in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s, the MOVIE STAR is what drew audiences to the movie. Back then people went to see the next Tom cruise movie, or the next Arnold action movie, or the next will smith movie or Denzel Washington or Maryl Streep movie. Now they want to go see the X-MEN or Dune, or Fallout, or five nights at Freddy’s… see what I mean? The ALREADY famous pop culture brand is the blockbuster draw and audiences don’t go to see the movie star, the go to see whatever celebrity has current hype😂
the entire entertainment industry vaporizes... and the entire country responds with a collective shrug. If hollywood ceased to exist tomorrow and not another new movie or tv show was shat out for, lets say a decade... not only would NOTHING change or hurt us, but we would in fact be significantly helped by it. our country and our culture would GREATLY benefit! as much as I love entertainment like everyone else, I honestly would love nothing more than this.
Those giant Hollywood studios won't and I don't have simpathic for them. Angle studios makes movies that we wanna see. No bad representation and No AI.
Maybe this is a sign that we should go back in the pre star wars era of the 70s were crime thrillers like Dirty Harry and the Godfather were the big hits and oscar movies were more recognised by general audiences!
It feels like they’re ever only doubling down on their failures and shortcomings. It’s really sad honestly seeing as how the last Mission Impossible and apparently even Kingdom of The Planet of The Apes aren’t doing or didn’t do extremely well. Furiosa being another one I’m sure people will mention, and I’d even throw in The Fall Guy. Like even movies worth attention and to go see in the theater are suffering the consequences of big corporate synergy and failures on creative and executive ends…
I remember years ago i used to really wish a film would hurry up and be on bluray or digital already. But i never thought they’d be available when the movie is still in theatre and these studios don’t seem to realize thats a problem. Why pay $100+ to go see it in a theatre when you can pay $20 and watch it in a few weeks. Now i don’t love that that means fans will be milked into go seeing it in a theatre with inflation being insane and then it takes forever to be on digital in the future but something has to give.
Don’t forget Oppenheimer, Dune 1 and 2, Tenet, The Batman, Everything Everywhere, John Wick 4, Across the Spiderverse, etc. These were all epic cinematic films
IMO there’s only 3 things that need to be fixed that can save this. 1. Stop releasing movies on digital 2 weeks after the movie comes out. No ones gonna want to spend $100 at the theater knowing they can just watch it at home in a few days. 2. Stop with the $300 million budgets. In order for a movie to be successful it needs to make at least 2 times its budget. That means, for example, if Disney wanted Indiana jones 5 to be successful it would have had to make like $800 million. I’m sorry but even if that movie was good there’s no way it would ever have made that much money. 3. Make better movies/make going to the theater more fun. I remember when I would go to the theater almost every other weekend just because I could. Now I have to be picky with what I see because the theater just costs so much damn money now. And I don’t wanna spend $100 to watch the marvels or madame web.
Set aside all these reasons given how about the movie Civil War, did they really needed to produce such a movie at this time? It's suggesting Americans will go to war and kill each other. DISGUSTING!
I don't think it is I think alot of people think certain movies are a flop in the theaters when a movie isn't out in a theater for two long. People need to wait for a movie to make back. However, movies stay in theaters because movies stay in theaters a long time people are just impaintent, unfortunately.
And I disagree with Sean there have been so many quality movies I have seen in theaters so far the only time I watch streaming is really for old TV shows or old movies
The question isn’t there aren’t quality movies, it’s that Hollywood, the pioneer of the film industry in America, is dying. Quality I don’t think has been an issue at all, and I’m certain Sean would agree. The Boy and The Heron, Godzilla Minus One, Spider Verse, Top Gun, Suzume, Everything Everywhere, Dune, Air, Past Lives, John Wick, Puss in Boots, The Iron Claw, I’ll throw in the SPYxFAMILY movie, quality is not the issue whatsoever. But, none of these films are the thing that’s saving Hollywood, and some of these aren’t even a product of Hollywood. When it has been a product of Hollywood, most of the time it’s been a rather undesirable outcome. I think Dial of Destiny, a good handful of the last few MCU and DCEU movies are good examples
I do believe that theater/Hollywood can make a come back from what happening now with A : if the state of the world is better and B : if the movies are going back like what we used have, then nothing needs to be worried about...
Personally I lost interest in cinema over the past 15 years when Avengers and all those superhero movies became the focus. Then the next trend was toxic femininity, wokeism and the destruction of beloved IP's. Hollywood brought flop busters on itself.
Furiosa failed because it was a violent R rated movie that came out during a holiday weekend where people are home with their families. They aren't going to go watch it during that weekend. It's also a prequel to a 9 year old movie that very few people thought needed a prequel. Fall Guy failed because it was another IP movie, a movie adaptation for a tv show no one cares about.
If Deadpool & Wolverine actually makes a profit, people will have to point to Disney saving cinema. And that'll be deeply a ironic pill for many to swallow.
Why does that have to be the only saving grace for cinema? Top Gun didn’t single handedly do it and that made a crap ton of money. Thanking for Disney to do that just sounds odd. People didn’t thank Oppenheimer or Mario or Barbie either.
LOL that's a reach, that would be like saying over a decade ago at this point that this hit movie is being released on DVD and that movie making money will save video stores. Theaters can't survive long term without people going and it can't just be two or three times a year for the big event movies. Back in the 90s, movies like Good Will Hunting, Unforgiven, Pulp Fiction, American Pie and many other non-blockbuster movies were big hits in theaters.
While I wouldn’t go as far as to say that Hollywood is dying it certainly is struggling. It is a real shame to see genuinely enjoyable and good films like The Fall Guy and Furiosa underperform at the box office.
Hollywood is so close to the budget reset that happened in the 60s and 70s. We just need our modern version of cleopatra to release for studios to pull back from mega-budget films
Here’s the thing not too long ago you had the yearly calendar and looked at the movies releasing and tbh not that many blockbusters or at least they weren’t considered that. Back in the 90’s 2000’s, and 2010’s you had 3 major blockbusters nowadays you have studios promoting damn near 11-12 just for the year and similar to QB’s who get picked in the first round not of them are gonna work out. Now in the movie space it doesn’t mean those films that bomb at the BO are bad quality wise but audiences usually pick what films they’re gonna spend on and the others they’ll wait for on streaming
When I think about the output in film from decades ago compared to the current output in our entertainment, I do feel a drop in quality. I look back at certain years in film and it seems like there was a great or even best of all time movie every month or two. Now, we certainly have a lot more quantity in what’s available. There are lots of movies being released to theaters, streaming exclusives, and other sources of entertainment whether that be video games, broadcast shows, or entertainment from years past. But there’s a certain amount of emptiness to a good bit of what’s being produced. By no means is that to say that we aren’t getting fantastic movies and TV series as well, but when studios continue to take fewer and fewer risks in what they do, what’s left feels more like products instead of art. So is Hollywood dying? I would say that’s a bit extreme, but they’re seeing a decline in multiple ways.
I grew up in the 80s and 90s and you know what? The quality is far better today than it was decades ago, the only difference is the fact the artistic aspect of filmmaking has taken a backseat i.e. the bean counters are ones making the decisions
I just watched your show for the first time and subscribed. I have noticed over the years that Hollywood is dying out more and more. The generation that’s running the movie industry knows nothing about making entertainment! Going to the movies was always was fun and a pleasure but now there is not plot, no imagination. Too much hate and violence? Making right into wrong and wrong into right. Too many movie goers (the majority is teenagers) are being influenced that bad guys can transform into good guys. No. There are to many “remakes” are not “remakes” they are pure trash! Rob Zombies “remake” of Halloween 🎃 was pure trash. He tried to change the whole story by saying Michael Myers was abused by bullies. Bull! Too much CGI is used. It took the place of real special effects: best special effects and stunts: Irwin Allen’s The Poseidon Adventure, Irwin Allen’s The Towering Inferno. No focus on characters. No redeeming value whatsoever. Television has also become bad. It’s the samething. I remember a better time for television and movies. I stay away from the theater. I recently put Tubi on my TV and I saw some television shows and movies that I grew up with and they are still great and a pleasure to watch.
I agree with everything you said 100 percent but also there’s a crazy thought in the back of my head that with the MCU being one of the biggest franchises ever at a time and the superhero genre also taking over Hollywood for around 10 years do you think after Endgame (with the exception of no way home) that those movies failing soiled everyone’s appetite on movies. I feel like Endgame wasn’t just the downfall of Marvel but for theater going in general.. I think it was the peak of entertainment
Very interesting that all these big companies were planning streaming services and then a big pandemic happens where everyone is stuck indoors for months🤔
Here’s what’s gonna happen, Hollywood will die by 2030 and the main film releases will be coming from Europe and Asia, more specifically South Korea and Japan. It will be like how film started in Europe and came to Hollywood in the 1900s but the opposite.
Yes but not to the same extent or reasons as we were 3 years ago. In 2020-2021 we were blaming COVID because many places were still locked and down and people didn't want to leave their house. It's more the linger effects of massive disruption to an industry and viewing habits. People's viewing behaviors have changed over the last 5 years and COVID was a big part of that. But there's many other factors as well.
Society would be better off without this version of Hollywood; I hope they continue to lose money and maybe they will fire these spoiled brat activists and hire talent that really want to create new things.
Movies need to be in theatres for longer. Right now an MCU movie spends 3 months exclusively in theatres than for a month it’s exclusively (I believe) available to buy digitally or on DVD, than after those 4 months it is on Disney+ for free. What they should do is have the movie in theatres for at least 5 months then have it available to buy digitally or on DVD for 2 months than put it on Disney+ for free. This way the time from its release to Disney+ is 7 months instead of 4, so month over half a year.
No because last year we had Barbie and Oppenheimer and it was a great return for movies. Then we just had Dune 2. And don’t forget No Way Home in 2021. I think it’s more just mediocre movies coming out, there’s only a few of blockbusters a year now.
I think what we the people should know is if Hollywood don’t make movies that will get people to the theater they mean theater probably go out of business first.
It's simple. The movies flopped because it's quality like it has bad writing on it. Studios should learn their mistakes what they have done for the past two years and hire good screenwriters to make a great movie. Despite "Deadpool & Wolverine" becoming the highest grossing R-rated film of all time, I don't think it's gotta save Hollywood depending on what upcoming films will execute.
Totally agree Sean. I also think there is a third component. A large portion of viewers are over the woke aspect of seemingly every movie coming out now, especially Disney.
The only time that I go to the theater nowadays is if there is some film playing there that I want to watch. But if they're just playing movies there that I really don't care to watch, then I just stay home, instead. But when I do go out to the theater though, I do get some yummy food/snacks 😋from the concession stand. Either nachos or a pizza 🍕, maybe a hotdog 🌭, and some bottled water and/or a 🥤soda. And when it comes to the candy, sometimes I might get some from the concession stand. But most of the time now I just bring my own candy🍬 that I bought for a cheaper price at some store or something. I mean, it definitely helps to save a few bucks💰 by just bringing my own candy that I got for a cheaper price somewhere else instead of purchasing the candy at the concession stand. 🙂
Also with marvel the audience has grown up.. phase 1-3 were pretty mature pg13 movies with the occasional goofy one but marvel/ Star Wars decided to go backwards and went straight goofy like a clown so now people started catching on slowly since people tend to be a lil slow and now finally Disney is getting what they deserve..being laughed at🤡
In my view movie theaters are going to be existent and out of business in the next decade, very expensive to pay between 40-50 dollars to see a movie when you can watch it on a big tv at home.
There's no point to go to theaters anymore. Everyone knows when it releases the digital copy is already ready to go. Whats the point of seeing it in theaters?
Well, you said everything except the reason! LOL Forget Covid, the strike or streaming (Barbie and Oppenheimer showed that). No, theaters are empty because nobody likes current films. A buddy left Hollywood after 3 years in the "numbers" field. He met an older writer who'd been part of that group of older Jewish guys that gave us hit after hit and has been replaced with young mostly single folk whose life experiences are as limited as their political agenda is swollen. He (the writer) spoke of a new set of unwritten rules - romances must be racially mixed, groups of friends must be ethnically mixed, strong males must be toxic, females and "minorities" are emphasized. Scripts are debated for days - should the phrase "senior moment" be allowed (with tears and shouting), a house with a picket fence was "hurtful", personal pronouns were normalized, men sounded too masculine, words were banned or substituted - "master", "old", "blacklist", "crazy", etc. He told a young woman normal people did not say "cis gen" and was ignored, Discussions about storyline and dialogue centered on the message, not the story. Action, for example, was scrutinized to ensure "equality" (women fought as good as men). Wheh told they've lost the over-50 crowd they cheered. Do you laugh or cry?
What will all the movie star people are going to do now why Hollywood is no more. I guess it's time for all the famous movie star people in America to get a real job that got to learn but sorry they lose all things including their fancy homes.
I still don't understand why they released the fall guy digitally 17 after it's premiere. That is the main reason it failed, they should push it in a least 4 months!
It feels like Furiosa was left to settle the checks for a lot of movies that were much more guilty of sucking. Supposedly it's actually fantastic. Oh well. As long as Godzilla/King Kong/Monsterverse keeps doing well. Currently the only big franchise that feels like it's still trying to actually deliver on expectations. I'd love nothing more than to see Godzilla stomp all over everything with Kathleen Kennedy's scummy fingerprints all over it..
This is missing a key element of competition. I think a 3rd of the pie is misc entertaining - aka youtube, tik tok, twitter, vid games, etc... COViD was the catalyst that changed behavior, but it was moving in that direction already. That being said, Hollywood isn't dying, but its losing about half the pie. That means some studios will die off, and others will learn to be more frugal with their budget.
Back in the 80s to the rise of DVD, movies came out on VHS. The only time it seemed you could afford a new release was when a Disney film or some huge blockbuster like Batman came out for around $20. Most new releases were for sale around $80 or so for about a year. If you didn't go to the theater you had to wait for rental or cable.
Of all the movies coming out this summer, the only ones I have an interest in are both Horizon movies. Deadpool? Don't care. Wolverine will finally be wearing his cowl? Don't care. I much prefer foreign movies over the poorly written crap the U.S are guving us since 2018 / 2019.
I personally don't have the extra money to spend on these movies. I am sure the actors wio are paid ridiculous salaries to make these movies can afford to but I need the money to pay everday bills.
It’s definitely the economy. It’s just one of the many reasons tho, like Sean mentioned, there’s streaming now too. Now take the economy, and all the different platforms there are available, unless you’re rich as hell you’re not paying for every single one of them. Thus, some studios lose there too. Not to mention all the families nowadays and the whole other onslaught of conditions there too.
People lost trust for escapism. We know they will be "clever" slipping in lines about "colonialism" or "white privilege." That ruins it for what used to be 70% of revenue: straight men.
The movies all suck……. It took Hollywood and actors years to perfect their business. Now they are just throwing terrible actors and actresses in films…. The movies suck……..the are not writing anything new. Everything made is a remake and they are worse
But the “good” movies that are out now are still mid at best.. fall guy was terrible and furiosa was too long and boring in so many areas so I mean it’s good the movies are failing have them actually be amazing and you’ll see the increase..it’s also Disneys fault owning / pushing out shit destroying the franchises they own which is basically everything🙈 watching something like the marvels was actual brain rot and I only watched UA-cam clips 💀
Producing woke content doesn't help, either. Garbage is garbage, be it the silver screen or a laptop. No one wants to be insulted or pushed an absurd agenda.
Who the hell would ask this question? Someone who just entered their 70’s and is now beginning the grumpy old person mentality of “Everything in this new age is garbage, back in my day we had *REAL* good stuff”?
It might hurt at first but I think studios need to start releasing things at home much later again
That’s a tricky one, bc I do love going to the movies, if it’s a nice theatre, but DAMN it’s like PAYING to be pissed off, if I go out of my way to see a movie and it’s crowded or I’m near a shitty person or shitty people. At home it’s PERFECT every time compared to going out and rolling the dice on how chill or bullshit the public experience might be🥴
This will not do much. There's so much competition, that it eventually ate half the pie. I don't see a path to where it was. Some studios will die off, and some will make more with a smaller budget. I'm just hoping they decide to make original content.
This will cause us not watching.
It’s simple… laziness, greed, political messages, the woke movement and the feminism movement are all what crippled Hollywood 🥴
The problem with Hollywood is they are manufacturing their own failures from every angle. From driving changes in viewing habits, downgrading product, overwhelming the market, the streaming wars in general were dumb from the beginning etc. then the biggest issue…. Lack of talent. As someone who works in the industry here in Hollywood it’s very infuriating to watch
The only way to gain success in the entertainment world is independent cinema. Indie films especially indie animation has become very popular lately as it draws so much attention and interest from people who wanted to watch a really good and entertaining film or show! That is the key: independent filmmaking and animation are the key to success!
I’m hoping Robot Dreams has a great weekend over here in the US. Mars Express didn’t unfortunately :(
I disagree with you.
What is indie
@@Fusesiesu It’s short for independent. An indie film or song/band (of a pop group, record label, or film company) not belonging to or affiliated with a major record or film company.
I’ve heard people say 2019 was the last great year of Hollywood. 🎬
Basically but most of the movies were disney adjacent.
We stopped believing in escapism.
I will not pay for these lectures.
No it’s just the end of one era into a mini crap era and that should lead to a new better era lol
@@caseymoore4759 Maybe. It will be the end of many studios. They are infected with such a bureaucratic mindset, the organizations will not recover.
Videogames too. Then came pandemic and activist enter the entertainment industry. And look at today products.
There’s no more Movie star, now it’s the social media star and super hero star and that’s a problem
What superhero star? 🤨 Quantumania, Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle, The Marvels, and The Lost Kingdom all flopped at the box office.

Last year we had many underwhelming movies flop..but this year even great films are flopping(Furiosa and The Fall Guy)
Idc how high tech a home theater is or how big the screen is, it will NEVER duplicate the theater going experience..never!
True. But the gap between home theater and movie theater is smaller.
Said somebody who never watched TV on a 480 or less CRT as an adult
We've also kind of been spoiled by all the great movies in the past and more recent things like Top Gun: Maverick.
Don’t forget Oppenheimer, Dune 1 and 2, Tenet, The Batman, Everything Everywhere, John Wick 4, Across the Spiderverse, etc.
These were all epic cinematic films
I thought most of the newer MCU movies were better than Tenet, although I have not seen Quantumania or The Marvels.
It ain't streaming. Its woke and poorly written stories. We're tired of being fed shit and being told it's a filet.

You should make a long form main channel video on this, I think it would do really well

LOL that's a reach, that would be like saying over a decade ago at this point that this hit movie is being released on DVD and that movie making money will save video stores.

Uh it absolutely will unless the budget is $700 million which its not.
So WB didn't saved Cinema with Dune 2 and Godzilla x kong? Disney literally had most flops last year
While I wouldn’t go as far as to say that Hollywood is dying it certainly is struggling.
It is a real shame to see genuinely enjoyable and good films like The Fall Guy and Furiosa underperform at the box office.
Hollywood is so close to the budget reset that happened in the 60s and 70s. We just need our modern version of cleopatra to release for studios to pull back from mega-budget films

I look back at certain years in film and it seems like there was a great or even best of all time movie every month or two. Now, we certainly have a lot more quantity in what’s available. There are lots of movies being released to theaters, streaming exclusives, and other sources of entertainment whether that be video games, broadcast shows, or entertainment from years past. But there’s a certain amount of emptiness to a good bit of what’s being produced. By no means is that to say that we aren’t getting fantastic movies and TV series as well, but when studios continue to take fewer and fewer risks in what they do, what’s left feels more like products instead of art. So is Hollywood dying? I would say that’s a bit extreme, but they’re seeing a decline in multiple ways.
I grew up in the 80s and 90s and you know what? The quality is far better today than it was decades ago, the only difference is the fact the artistic aspect of filmmaking has taken a backseat i.e. the bean counters are ones making the decisions
I just watched your show for the first time and subscribed. I have noticed over the years that Hollywood is dying out more and more. The generation that’s running the movie industry knows nothing about making entertainment! Going to the movies was always was fun and a pleasure but now there is not plot, no imagination. Too much hate and violence? Making right into wrong and wrong into right. Too many movie goers (the majority is teenagers) are being influenced that bad guys can transform into good guys. No. There are to many “remakes” are not “remakes” they are pure trash! Rob Zombies “remake” of Halloween 🎃 was pure trash. He tried to change the whole story by saying Michael Myers was abused by bullies. Bull! Too much CGI is used. It took the place of real special effects: best special effects and stunts: Irwin Allen’s The Poseidon Adventure, Irwin Allen’s The Towering Inferno. No focus on characters. No redeeming value whatsoever. Television has also become bad. It’s the samething. I remember a better time for television and movies. I stay away from the theater. I recently put Tubi on my TV and I saw some television shows and movies that I grew up with and they are still great and a pleasure to watch.
I agree with everything you said 100 percent but also there’s a crazy thought in the back of my head that with the MCU being one of the biggest franchises ever at a time and the superhero genre also taking over Hollywood for around 10 years do you think after Endgame (with the exception of no way home) that those movies failing soiled everyone’s appetite on movies. I feel like Endgame wasn’t just the downfall of Marvel but for theater going in general.. I think it was the peak of entertainment
Very interesting that all these big companies were planning streaming services and then a big pandemic happens where everyone is stuck indoors for months🤔
Here’s what’s gonna happen, Hollywood will die by 2030 and the main film releases will be coming from Europe and Asia, more specifically South Korea and Japan. It will be like how film started in Europe and came to Hollywood in the 1900s but the opposite.
I mean, Dune Part Two made over 700 million but I get that’s only one movie and Kingdom has made over 300 so far.
G×K has grossed nearly 600 million
Are people still blaming the coof for Hollywood's decline in 2024? Seriously?
Yes but not to the same extent or reasons as we were 3 years ago. In 2020-2021 we were blaming COVID because many places were still locked and down and people didn't want to leave their house. It's more the linger effects of massive disruption to an industry and viewing habits.
People's viewing behaviors have changed over the last 5 years and COVID was a big part of that. But there's many other factors as well.
@@SeanChandlerPlus Thank you for clarifying, Sean. 🙂 Much appreciated.
Society would be better off without this version of Hollywood; I hope they continue to lose money and maybe they will fire these spoiled brat activists and hire talent that really want to create new things.
Incel alert!
George Miller, Anya Taylor-Joy, Gosling and Blunt are spoiled brat activists?
Anyone who says that movies are dying are ridiculous. The cost of living crisis these days is a reason that people don’t go to the cinemas as often.
Movies need to be in theatres for longer. Right now an MCU movie spends 3 months exclusively in theatres than for a month it’s exclusively (I believe) available to buy digitally or on DVD, than after those 4 months it is on Disney+ for free.
What they should do is have the movie in theatres for at least 5 months then have it available to buy digitally or on DVD for 2 months than put it on Disney+ for free. This way the time from its release to Disney+ is 7 months instead of 4, so month over half a year.
No because last year we had Barbie and Oppenheimer and it was a great return for movies. Then we just had Dune 2. And don’t forget No Way Home in 2021. I think it’s more just mediocre movies coming out, there’s only a few of blockbusters a year now.
I think what we the people should know is if Hollywood don’t make movies that will get people to the theater they mean theater probably go out of business first.
Movie tickets are high like especially for premium screenings. That’s probably the real reason why people not going to the theaters back to back.
people are sick of politics in movies
It's simple. The movies flopped because it's quality like it has bad writing on it. Studios should learn their mistakes what they have done for the past two years and hire good screenwriters to make a great movie. Despite "Deadpool & Wolverine" becoming the highest grossing R-rated film of all time, I don't think it's gotta save Hollywood depending on what upcoming films will execute.
Lower the cost of distribution! Lower the cost to the customer!!!
Totally agree Sean. I also think there is a third component. A large portion of viewers are over the woke aspect of seemingly every movie coming out now, especially Disney.
I get senior tickets because they are cheaper.
I still go to movies all the time
Same here, hey but everyone has their right of opinion to keep complaining.
@marchannan7270 That's great. Unfortunately, most people can no longer afford it.
The only time that I go to the theater nowadays is if there is some film playing there that I want to watch. But if they're just playing movies there that I really don't care to watch, then I just stay home, instead. But when I do go out to the theater though, I do get some yummy food/snacks 😋from the concession stand. Either nachos or a pizza 🍕, maybe a hotdog 🌭, and some bottled water and/or a 🥤soda. And when it comes to the candy, sometimes I might get some from the concession stand. But most of the time now I just bring my own candy🍬 that I bought for a cheaper price at some store or something. I mean, it definitely helps to save a few bucks💰 by just bringing my own candy that I got for a cheaper price somewhere else instead of purchasing the candy at the concession stand. 🙂
Also with marvel the audience has grown up.. phase 1-3 were pretty mature pg13 movies with the occasional goofy one but marvel/ Star Wars decided to go backwards and went straight goofy like a clown so now people started catching on slowly since people tend to be a lil slow and now finally Disney is getting what they deserve..being laughed at🤡
I know people like to hate on marvel nowadays but it kept people in the routine of going to cinemas and seeing trailers and watching other films
Cap 4 and Blade are not looking good. I have more faith Thunderbolts and Fantastic 4 ngl
Cap 4 gonna be trash lmao
In my view movie theaters are going to be existent and out of business in the next decade, very expensive to pay between 40-50 dollars to see a movie when you can watch it on a big tv at home.
I think these studios need to lower their budgets on the blockbusters!
Yep
I am Kerala state India and here our movies called Malayalam cinema is doing really well in the box office
There's no point to go to theaters anymore. Everyone knows when it releases the digital copy is already ready to go. Whats the point of seeing it in theaters?
I can't wait for Cinema Gates Pictures movies. 😊
Movies are boring without theaters
Well, you said everything except the reason! LOL Forget Covid, the strike or streaming (Barbie and Oppenheimer showed that). No, theaters are empty because nobody likes current films. A buddy left Hollywood after 3 years in the "numbers" field. He met an older writer who'd been part of that group of older Jewish guys that gave us hit after hit and has been replaced with young mostly single folk whose life experiences are as limited as their political agenda is swollen.
He (the writer) spoke of a new set of unwritten rules - romances must be racially mixed, groups of friends must be ethnically mixed, strong males must be toxic, females and "minorities" are emphasized. Scripts are debated for days - should the phrase "senior moment" be allowed (with tears and shouting), a house with a picket fence was "hurtful", personal pronouns were normalized, men sounded too masculine, words were banned or substituted - "master", "old", "blacklist", "crazy", etc. He told a young woman normal people did not say "cis gen" and was ignored, Discussions about storyline and dialogue centered on the message, not the story. Action, for example, was scrutinized to ensure "equality" (women fought as good as men). Wheh told they've lost the over-50 crowd they cheered. Do you laugh or cry?
Halloween ends and kills made over $100 million and was on peacock the same day. Streaming didn’t kill it.
What will all the movie star people are going to do now why Hollywood is no more.
I guess it's time for all the famous movie star people in America to get a real job that got to learn but sorry they lose all things including their fancy homes.
Yes and no. Because of you know what and streaming.
I still don't understand why they released the fall guy digitally 17 after it's premiere. That is the main reason it failed, they should push it in a least 4 months!
Not really, it failed due to many ppl not caring to see it. Just like with Furiosa it just wasn't alot of interest.
It feels like Furiosa was left to settle the checks for a lot of movies that were much more guilty of sucking. Supposedly it's actually fantastic. Oh well. As long as Godzilla/King Kong/Monsterverse keeps doing well. Currently the only big franchise that feels like it's still trying to actually deliver on expectations. I'd love nothing more than to see Godzilla stomp all over everything with Kathleen Kennedy's scummy fingerprints all over it..
This is missing a key element of competition. I think a 3rd of the pie is misc entertaining - aka youtube, tik tok, twitter, vid games, etc... COViD was the catalyst that changed behavior, but it was moving in that direction already. That being said, Hollywood isn't dying, but its losing about half the pie. That means some studios will die off, and others will learn to be more frugal with their budget.
2:14 excuse me what! 90$ dollars. I was born in 2002 so I don't know what was back than
Back in the 80s to the rise of DVD, movies came out on VHS. The only time it seemed you could afford a new release was when a Disney film or some huge blockbuster like Batman came out for around $20. Most new releases were for sale around $80 or so for about a year. If you didn't go to the theater you had to wait for rental or cable.
Of all the movies coming out this summer, the only ones I have an interest in are both Horizon movies. Deadpool? Don't care. Wolverine will finally be wearing his cowl? Don't care. I much prefer foreign movies over the poorly written crap the U.S are guving us since 2018 / 2019.
It’s us too we no longer want to watch actors we Loved after listening to their woke cringe.
I personally don't have the extra money to spend on these movies. I am sure the actors wio are paid ridiculous salaries to make these movies can afford to but I need the money to pay everday bills.
You too Sean Chandler Jeez Luiz
Good movies come from good stories and good stories come people not AI.
Maybe you should be in charge of Hollywood and stuff like that
Maybe it’s the economy but that’s such a broad term so idk :/
It can't be, Joey says the economy is booming and we have enough money.
It’s definitely the economy. It’s just one of the many reasons tho, like Sean mentioned, there’s streaming now too. Now take the economy, and all the different platforms there are available, unless you’re rich as hell you’re not paying for every single one of them. Thus, some studios lose there too. Not to mention all the families nowadays and the whole other onslaught of conditions there too.
2:43 who even uses peacock
I use it for WWE and Parks and Rec
It's pretty good and cheaper compared to most streaming channels.
Come on, son!
Furiosa was good
I will say though
This year is packed with good movies
Definitely! We have Dune 2, Fall Guy, Planet of the Apes, Civil War, and Then Furiosa. But it is too bad that no one is going to see it
People lost trust for escapism.
We know they will be "clever" slipping in lines about "colonialism" or "white privilege."
That ruins it for what used to be 70% of revenue: straight men.
The movies all suck……. It took Hollywood and actors years to perfect their business. Now they are just throwing terrible actors and actresses in films…. The movies suck……..the are not writing anything new. Everything made is a remake and they are worse
If they dont stop putting out bad movies they'll die yes.
Hollywood isn`t dying, its OPD, officially pronounced dead. Put a tag on it`s big toe.
You somehow left out the Woke Mind Virus in your analysis
But the “good” movies that are out now are still mid at best.. fall guy was terrible and furiosa was too long and boring in so many areas so I mean it’s good the movies are failing have them actually be amazing and you’ll see the increase..it’s also Disneys fault owning / pushing out shit destroying the franchises they own which is basically everything🙈 watching something like the marvels was actual brain rot and I only watched UA-cam clips 💀
Hollywood's fault for taking franchises with mostly straight male fans and make movies for everyone else.
Give us male power fantasies.
You forgot to mention marxism...
Producing woke content doesn't help, either. Garbage is garbage, be it the silver screen or a laptop. No one wants to be insulted or pushed an absurd agenda.
Almost every clout clod uses the Hollywood is dying card. But expect more from yoy
Most Hollywood films that come out these days are pure garbage. Movies haven't been the same for a while
Exactly, it's rough and that is why I watch mostly older movies now.
Same here.
And then you throw agendas on top..
Who the hell would ask this question? Someone who just entered their 70’s and is now beginning the grumpy old person mentality of “Everything in this new age is garbage, back in my day we had *REAL* good stuff”?
