This happening isn’t really killing theaters because of the circumstances

What’s really killing theaters is the deals Universal have made with AMC and Cinemark

yeah read about that but this move isn’t helping either. Mainstream cinema was already going to s*** but streaming will make it even worse.

Then HBO Max if they have it in your countries or torrent.

I downloaded The Witches back when it was released.

Whoever likes going to the movies will still go after the panoramic. This is only good for the people who like watching movies at home.

Watching Soul first then WW84

So dope that they’re putting this on HBO Max

I’m pretty both will be great

Think most movie goers are already comfortable with watching new films at home. I can’t see theaters surviving with this pandemic.

People barely showed up for Tenet.

If I have to watch The Batman or Avengers 5 at home I'm offing myself

Time to risk it

I’ve been saying for years that theaters will eventually only exist for large event films like an Avengers or Batman

This pandemic just accelerated it

HBO Max is only in America.

with studios like Disney buying up all the auditoriums and pushing indie-mid tier films out it was inevitable.

Tarantino complained about this years ago and Scorsese also addressed it only to get crucified by movie goers.

I will be devastated if theaters don't survive the pandemic

I absolutely love going to theaters to see comic book films

Glad we can finally just watch new releases at home instead of having to hear cringe niggas scream in the theater

Just films in general

Yes europe where the cinemas just opened again

It got so bad that even other blockbuster franchises couldn’t compete. I remember I couldn’t find a local showing of Halloween because of Avengers DURING the month of October

so this is on HBO max for the first 30 days only

First 30 days: Theatrical (Theaters get 55-60%) + HBOMAX
Day 31-60: Theatrical only
Day 61+: PVOD

Then torrent

What about the lockdowns and home confinements?

idk about other european countries but the netherlands has never had an actual lockdown the cinemas also have only been closed from in april/may and in nov for the first 2 weeks

Well. Some other countries are heading another home confinement.

Here cinemas are still open, but without big releases most people don't go. They also at 50% capacity max.

And we have a lockdown from 10pm to 6am. And you can't go to another region unless it's because of work.

here the cinemas are like at 30 people max capacity i think but i mean its better than nothing imo yk i also went to the cinema alot in june/july and it honestly felt safer than any other public place i went to

blockbusters will be made cheaper if the theater dies. Film in general will look differently and with streaming there will be even less consistency than there already was.
