As Steve Albino taught countless indie bands how to make money in the music industry, give away the music to get bookings for a tour and sets, the same thing happens with the movie theatres. You cannot earn anything from the content, you'll only earn from selling soda and popcorn.
This author manages to say nothing about this well-known phenomenon. Maybe the NYT also just writes brainless LLM articles now?
- rchaud 2y agoAlbini didn't account for a world where the ticket mafia owns both ticket distribution and venues.
- rurban 2y agoThat's partially true. Albini also called out Ticket Master, as well as Taylor Swift. You can still find independent venues, and sell tickets not via the ticket master mafia. Or if you are as big as Taylor even bypass the movie studios which are an even bigger mafia than ticket master.
