That interview was rough.
TLDR: The studio and distributor's chokehold on movies is dead.
Hallelujah, good riddance, piss off.
For some historical perspective, 99% had a nice episode about movie theaters. The Megaplex! https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-megaplex/ https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-megaplex/
TLDR: The movie theater biz has always been in flux, now is no different.
PS- After the dust settles, I'm sure new gatekeepers will arise. Same as it ever was.
- clouddrover 5y ago> The studio's chokehold on movies is dead. No, the reality is studios are consolidating control over their content. For example, Disney controls distribution and access more than ever before with their Disney+ streaming service. Disney produces the content and directly distributes it to the end user: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney%2B https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney%2B https://www.disneyplus.com https://www.disneyplus.com
- specialist 5y ago> No, the reality is studios are consolidating control over their content. Ya, it sure seems like everyone's pulling their own content in tighter. I couldn't quickly find out how many movies, shows, etc are published every year. If anything, it seems like the entertainment industry is in a free-for-all. I'm almost curious how it shakes out. Can we agree that the prior theatrical distribution system, so near and dear to Barry Diller's heart, got mooted?
