One big thing people don't talk about enough is the curation/marketing pipeline we used to have with movies.
You'd see some glimpses of a new project via live televisionm which was the only way to stay connected to everyone.
Then you'd maybe watch it in the theater.
and here's the important part, there was a 9+ month delay from a release in a theater to being able to watch it free of charge on television. So you'd go to blockbuster and you'd open the door and look above the employees.
And there'd be a marquee with all the new movie titles you'd probably recognize from the movie theater advertising onslaught you watched.
Now there is no live television. everyone pays for streamers so we don't watch movie commercials anymore.
And I don't go to blockbuster and there's no list of new releases.
Now a huge star will be in a film that no ones ever heard of, that used to never happen.
When I was younger, I practically couldn't avoid knowing what movies were coming.
Now I have no idea.
But I have been hearing about Top Gun and Elvis. So that's a good start.
But after all that, I have to say the Fugitive is one of my favorite movies.
Tommy Lee Jones is the VIP of the film.

If you spent a lot of time going through YouTube you might know what all the coming attractions were?
- Flatcircle 4y agoThis is probably true
