I think big budget Hollywood Productions are done until a vaccine. Here's why.

Is it possible to spend $150-$250M on a film and recoup the money via streaming service?
I really don't believe it is.. at least not now. The fact that Mulan did :ld: numbers on Disney+ and then TENET did :ld: numbers in the theaters showed that neither avenue is a viable option right now.

It's true that cutting out the middleman increases profits for the parent companies but they haven't found a price point yet. $30 for Mulan was obviously too expensive for enough people to give a fukk.

But you can't really give the shyt away for free on a service either. These big budget movies are supposed to be making anywhere between $700M to over $1 billion and beyond. The studio gets about 55% of that and then subtract marketing costs, production costs but then add rentals/TV rights/digital purchases, you are looking at a net profit that still far outweighs what you can do on a streaming platform by charging extra.

There's a reason why all these movies are constantly being delayed. They don't believe they can make the money back without packed theaters.

So that leads me to the next question. Are the days of big budget movies done until there's a vaccine?

You saying it’s low or high?:ld:

wayyyy too low. It’s damn near almost $20 for a movie ticket and the fukking dry ass popcorn they gonna sell you gonna be half that.

If these studios go the VOD route for big releases it’s gonna be more like $50 watch. Imagine if the next avengers movie was vod. It’s gonna be wrestlemania PPV prices

I'm not really mad about it, hopefully this will force them to make more compelling storylines and plots rather than just depending on car chases, explosions and the usual that you see in those big budget movies
