Universal Responds To AMC: Studio Believes In Theatrical, But Expects To Release Future Films Directly To Theatres & PVOD – Deadline

“We absolutely believe in the theatrical experience and have made no statement to the contrary. As we stated earlier, going forward, we expect to release future films directly to theaters, as well as on premium video on demand (PVOD) when that distribution outlet makes sense,” a Universal spokesman said.




Universal is trying to clear the air. I think they still NEED some of their heavy hitters in theaters, if theaters ever go back to what they were pre covid

they didn’t spend $250 million on Fast 9 to not have it in 1/3 of the theaters in the US. Way to much money to lose. And the piracy. Gonna have Blue-Ray level rips within minutes of release.

AMC had to do this or others might get the same idea...

Picture studios only care about profits...

AMC saying fukk that, you can't have your cake and eat it to...

Hoe babble to the extreme. I understand where AMC is coming from, but it's not like Trolls was going to be some box office success. And I'm sure that Universal knows that they aren't going to fully profit on strictly VOD with their big budget movies. This is just AMC throwing a bytch fit to get what they want. They already have VOD on their site for rentals. I think they're the only theater chain that has that. What does that tell you about the future? COVID-19 just put things into motion way sooner than expected. I guarantee that in a couple of weeks, or however long it takes AMC and Universal to have their talks behind the scenes, and we're going to see an announcement of same day release through AMC.

Apparently Trolls 2 made bank on VOD



Theaters about to be fukked

I’m saying tho.


People def love the movie theater experience but they love convenience even more. It’s gonna be an interesting watch to see what happens with that industry

They'll compromise and theaters will get an exclusive window of a month before a film hits premium VOD...

universal backtracked but you know they're scheming on some won the battle not the war mentality
