- parliament32 6y agoSo what? The number of albums available to stream is a few orders of magnitude higher than the number of shows/movies available.
- rajnathani 6y agoIt matters as the total budget of a movie needs to be recouped. The vast majority of albums are likely made using a few thousand dollars [0], if there isn't a break-even the artists potentially have other avenues of making money such as gigs/concerts if not making the limelight in the future. Movies such as that of the Mission Impossible series and the Avengers series cost $150M-$350M per movie to make [1] [2], without a theatrical release and/or a temporary pay-per-view model via Apple Movies or Amazon Prime (or most of the world being on a $20-30+/month Netflix, Disney Plus, etc. subscription, which is not the case yet), there wouldn't be much interest in financing such movies.
