BUtterfield 8 38,357 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Today the studio behind some of the biggest blockbusters in the world has announced that its entire 2021 movie slate will follow the model being established by Wonder Woman 1984 on Christmas day: they will launch in theaters and on-demand on HBO Max simultaneously, available in 4K HDR and free to subscribers in the US for one month, before continuing their theatrical runs domestically and internationally (as with Wonder Woman, no details about a similar limited window has been confirmed for international markets, just that they will continue to receive standard theatrical releases).

GovernmentHookah 880 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Idk how the industry will make money from this then. I’ve been a huge proponent of watching movies at the theater where it’s meant to be seen, however, I understand times have changed or will change post-covid. As a movie lover, I’m a little worried about what this could mean for movie theaters going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney should take notes Um this is literally only about money lmao. This has diddly to do with what consumers want. It’s that tenet was such an abysmal failure and was so expensive to make. The studios need to try creative moves to survive. If the data was in favor of waiting for wide theatrical release, they would. A move like this is as greedy as any other.

As much as people sh** on theaters and say they’re going to die off, the only reason marvel gets the insane budgets they do is because of theatrical releases where they can earn $1B+ back. The industry as is is basically propped up by these juggernaut releases. That’s always been dangerous, but it’s unsustainable without major theatrical releases. The industry can change, sure, but to get the profits they’re used to? That’ll come at the expense of the consumer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
