My tweet about a month ago in my ideation session for a weekend project:
"I'm thinking cinemas are obsolete, and movies should be streaming in my house on their premier."

I was thinking maybe groupon / kickstarter for movies. A studio large or small[ie individual] creates a trailer and people pledge to it. Initially, I was thinking about streaming, but now I'm think just have a download of the movie[better quality].
In terms of what would happen in 20 years, I'm banking on the singularity would have happened by then. Films would be generated on the fly to match your mood, personality and preferences to guarantee maximum pleasure.
Coming back to the present, the advancement of strong AI[1] would be the natural end to Hollywood.

Apparently 2013 is the year when we are suppose to have enough computing power to simulate the human brain[feels less crazy for suggesting it.].

- waterlesscloud 15y agoExperiments along these lines have already been performed. The struggle between VOD and theatrical is one of the major battles underway in Hollywood right now. Contrary to what you might initially suspect, the studios are in favor of VOD over theatrical. It's the exhibitors (theaters) that are fighting it. Here's a youtube interview with the NATO (theater owner trade association) president which focuses a lot on the VOD issue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5_Habwshog http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5_Habwshog
