It is a very weird coincidence that every major film studio started streaming services after that law ended. I thought it was more general like a cut between production and distribution not production and theatres.
Now we are in the same position as a hundred years ago. At that time you would have to go into a theatre by the production company and now you have to go to the streaming service of the production company.
That split between production and distribution has to come back.
- Sai_ 3y ago> That split between production and distribution has to come back. What if Netflix had made and won that argument before 2020 to prevent production companies from also streaming content? I think Netflix missed a trick here.
- rgun 3y agoBut then it wouldn't have been long before competitors emerged in the market threatening Netflix's content deals. I believe only way to reinforce their position was to make their own content.
- Sai_ 3y agoNetflix with decades of experience in streaming and negotiating content deals would have had some incumbency/first mover advantages. It could have led the distribution/streaming industry instead of being just another content/streaming player.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoI mean, if theatres weren't utterly destroyed by COVID something may have actually happened with theatres. But investing in a theatre in the current decade is like investing in cable at this point. The only coincidence is this repeal happening during a time where it mattered least.
