Even that still needs to be figured out.

Alamo Drafthouse does the dining thing but has struggled financially in recent years and was recently bought by Sony. Verdicts still out on how well changes are working but there's been some notable rough patches i've seen

I do agree generally though

Netflix is going to force James Gunn to add Millie Bobby Brown to the dcu

so many people really have been brainwashed by what streaming has done

It’s fair it’s your opinion and I don’t think it’s right or wrong necessarily. It’s just the future of all art has to address preservation , greedy CEOs and ai. Will this lead to more or better art being created when they are focused on share holder value ? It’s fair for people to say no .

It’s fair for people to be disenchanted . I respect your optimism

Same way yes Microsoft buying activision leads to more momentary value for game pass but then look at studio closures and game cancellations

Does Netflix have the bandwidth to properly handle all those art forms across multiple mediums ? Is consolidation bad in the long run

Milllie Bobby Brown as Harley Quinn

lol they should have been made more when I was growing up imax made it undeniably worth the trip . Liemax and poor theater experiences have pushed people towards streaming

For sure, but that could be an economic situation as well, people are pretty broke

I do think it has potential if done right, restaurants as a whole burn money at this point so it’s gotta be tough , but it’s definitely something my wife and I love to do for a movie date, especially at Alamo, the food is good imo

I also go to a place called iPIC, they have blankets and s*** I think the cozy vibe is dope

Not to mention all the identical mark wahlberg movies

Slop is the perfect word

Im just crine at this being typical WB. Of course they get sold off after their best year at the box office in years

True, fewer and fewer movies manage to turn a profit (due to general public being more into streaming Netflix at home ever since Covid era)

Only potential silver lining is maybe bigger budget for hbo shows (longer seasons, less putting off major expensive battle scenes ala house of dragons) 🤞

Wb had a good year for sinners weapons and smaller films flipping profit but they kind of bank on booms. I think they expected Superman to do a billi honestly

cannot even imagine stuff like the white lotus or succession dropping all at once instead of week to week

f*** all of these people

Basic Netflix plan rn doesn’t even have all the Netflix content

Theatrical windowing should be mandated by the FTC

that is f***in crazy

W pocahontas

Imagine the shambles if Gunn gives the role to hunter schaffer

This doesn't answer my question, since Warren is an outlier, not the norm when it comes to current Congress members; they don't give a single f*** about consumers or whatever other long term impacts this acquisition may have. It's total cope to believe that there's a "high chance" they'll block this.

The new batman

Prices, the economy and lack of incentivizing a growing theater attendance due to films that don’t warrant the theater experience all make people not want to go to theaters. That directly benefits the next best option in streaming

I don’t think it stems from people preferring streaming on a damn tv or phone to a big theater screen, that’s simply an end result

They definitely did
Still considering the past few years this was a banner year for them, reaks of “featuring a player so they get stats to drive up their trade value”

“Entire season 3 of house of the dragon dropped last night, how are we feeling about it fellas?”
