Studios are funding these cats movies. Not many places are giving you 8 to 9 figure deals to make movies.
These actors and directors were only concerned with their backend pay kickers which didn't necessarily go away. It was just gonna be lower since the movie theaters are dead right now. People gotta eat, so this solution was the best win to make money right now.
The only one they fukked up on is the Dune movie where Netflix was offering a big bag and AT&T nixed it. Legendary funded most of the movie, not WB, but so that one will be interesting. I think Godzilla vs King Kong was the same too.
I’m thinking Marvel will be in a bind this year unless they’re willing to push back a bunch of movies again. I don’t think Legendary Films would be willing to wait unless they are properly compensated. They will probably make up box office numbers of what could have been.
This shyt is sad. I’m a movie buff. I’m willing to stream, but to me it just cheapens the art.
when I saw Greenland at home, I literally skipped thru several parts just to speed things up.
but i guess the masses, don’t value going to the movies. Studios rely heavily on word of mouth, and marketing. It’s an event to many.
