I am 58 and rarely go to theaters (nothing I really want to see). I
have been dealing in new posters for 30+ years, I have had 1 source,
and he is employed in the the theater business. He has now lost his
job due to the shut downs. In the last couple of years it has been a
struggle for theaters, as the studios are wanting to go on demand or a
short window for the release of the film and then on demand. The
theaters he worked for would not book a film if the on demand was 30
days or less from the theatrical release. Disney of course is pushing
this concept, along with others.
Some consequences of the shut down, release dates have been pushed
back for months and sometimes nearly a year. The studios are losing a
revenue stream, so some productions are postponed, and I am sure many
lesser films will just be cancelled, or not ever released
theatrically. I fell like this will be a good opportunity to knock
out theaters and get the full cut through streaming and on demand.
I am sure they understand the business a lot better than I do, and in
the age when people will watch a movie on a phone, but I think it is
short sided to not get another avenue of revenue (theatrically), and
just go for on demand, dvd, etc.
I hope I am wrong. Any other thoughts on the issue. Tony
