Person to person recommendation still happens now in streaming services, the rise of the algorithm and the fact that we have many more options is probably the bigger factor over the distribution method.
Yeah, you get plenty of mid/low budget movies and show across all the services.
Millennial women still watch shit aimed at teens. My wife is always watching the latest high school drama on Netflix. In fact, I think a lot of these teen dramas aren't even made for teens, they're made for adults who want to relive their high school days.
Still happens, sure. But the money studios make for selling streaming rights is way lower than someone buying a DVD right? Used to be that revenue from DVD sales were comparable to or even more than box office. Word of mouth causing someone to go out and buy a DVD is much more valuable than them watching it on Netflix or wherever. So if your premise doesn't have a as large an immediate appeal as possible (e.g. "it's the newest entry in that franchise you already know") then you are taking more of a risk than you used to.
It would depend on the contract and there is a very different number of scale between dvd sales and streaming views* .
You call him dumb and then you agree with him? I dont get it lol
The market hasn't necessarily declined but the money that goes to the studio has right? Netflix (or whatever platform) takes a big chunk of that money compared to how much the studio got for a DVD sale. It's why all these content holders are trying to pivot into having their own streaming platforms.It would depend on the contract and there is a very different number of scale between dvd sales and streaming views* .
* if that is how the contract is setup.
Looking at the home video market as a whole in the US. It might be a widening of the revenue to more movies but the total market for home video hasnt declined.

Maybe these numbers are skewed by TV shows becoming more popular imo.
I think there are bigger issue fundamentally than streaming, like more options.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.
Did we watch a different interview?
Has everyone forgotten where streaming services started? As soon as your Grandma was using Napster to download some Perry Como hits, holding media hostage became a no-go.
At one point you just loaded up Napster and searched. Right now I could go to Google and find a website and get a Netflix like experience but with movies still in theaters. Streaming is just the paid, legal, convenient and consistent version of what piracy has to offer. You start making people wait 6 - 9 months before a movie hits streaming and they will pursue alternatives.
I'd buy a few if they weren't $30 for just a resolution boost.
I don't pirate - I pay for hulu + disney, Amazon prime, netflix, plus full cable package and currently have apple tv and music through free trials and before that was paying for spotify, and I go to the movies regularly. But only a small part of the resson is because of any moral compunction, it's just more convenient to use streaming services, no worries and there is always new stuff coming. The bigger the delay between theater release and streaming the more people will look for alternatives. Used to be that movies would cone to theaters in the UK after they had hit VHS/DVD in the US. Can you imagine that shit flying now?
sol_bad you're reminding me of Blockbuster and their insistence on fighting a tidal wave.
There are still some movies that sort of do this by being purchasable for 19.99 on streaming services immediately after their theater run is over. Ultimately though it all feels like a band-aid for an infection that's already too deep at this point. People will still wait because even the mere thought of a movie potentially coming to streaming makes them alright with that wait. The video game industry could be headed in the same streaming direction but they have a ton of larger hurdles to jump over before it's possible, such as the old U.S. cable internet infrastructure, certain ISPs having monopolies over those areas(thus causing that stagnation in growth), data caps still being prevalent, and making sure controls feel as close to 1:1 as possible.
Perfectly fine analogy. Streaming music lead to albums being out of favor instead a reliance on continuing content. Times where a band got to spend months in a studio burning millions is over.
*Cough*
Yeah, about that..
I was going to the damn cinema! Wadda ya want from me??
Streaming didn't kill the music industry. The music industry was already in panic due to pirating when streaming arrived.
