>Major movie studios are barely offering any wide releases for Labor Day weekend, a very unhappy ending to a summer filled with blockbuster flops. The number of movie tickets sold this summer is likely to hit a 25-year low and this weekend’s take, while typically small, may hit the kind of record that makes studio executives sink in their chairs.

>For Hollywood, the seasonal doldrums are coming at a particularly bad time. Tech giants such as Netflix, Apple, Amazon and Google are committing billions of dollars to muscle into the business of making movies and shows — and all of these companies want audiences to watch from the comfort of their living room sofas.

>“It's been a bad summer-movie session,” said Ross Gerber, president of Gerber Kawasaki, an investment-management firm based in Santa Monica, Calif. “But there is a bigger thing going on here.” Gerber and others point to a wider malaise affecting the entire legacy entertainment ecosystem. Thanks to a confluence of circumstances — blockbuster events on television, the encroachment of online streaming services, the inexorable pull of social media and sequel fatigue — audiences now have more reasons than ever to stay home. And without a must-see tent-pole feature luring huge audiences into auditoriums, going to the movies just wasn’t what it used to be.

>“Stocks are getting destroyed because investors have concluded that if nobody is going to the movies now, then they are never going back — which is just wrong,” said Michael Pachter, a research analyst at Wedbush Securities, a Los Angeles-based investment bank.

Let Netflix and every other streaming service shit over hollywood

Movie theaters may go the way of the drive-in. There's no way they should cost so much for what they offer, and people are realizing that. I go to the theater occasionally because I've always liked the experience, but the vast majority of the people I ask haven't been to one in years.

What will likely emerge as an alternative? People will set up home theaters with 15-20 foot HD screens, fancy seats, catered snacks and a cash bar, and charge for 20-30 assorted strangers to sign up via an app and come watch a movie or season premier. It'll be cheaper, faster, more intimate, could turn into a discussion for people afterward, make the hosts a few hundred bucks a night, and cut out the gigantic corporate behemoths currently charging $7 for popcorn and $5 for a bottle of water.

Good.

I hope North Korea nukes it...

Degenerate, subversive, communist pieces of shit can go straight to hell for all I care.

I saw nothing from last year at all. It was the most generic, by the numbers trash with literallly no appeal.

I won't bother watching them until they come out on Sky, but this year atleast I'll see 4-5 films.

>sequel fatigue
No shit, I can't name 5 films from last year that weren't just superhero films. And whose fault is that? For a century you've pulled people in to watch films, suddenly now you switch it up and wonder what goes wrong.

the last time this happened was in the early 30, and the Catholic Church forced them to accept the production code or face a nation wide boycott.
The production code disallowed most jusaic degeneracy including pornography and mocking the clergy.
The production code stood until 1965 when they jews broke it by showing tits in a "holocaust" flick (the Pawnbroker).
It's time for another production code.

>women who defend polanski

Fuck off Hershlag

>>87242562
Not that fuck but I'll defend Polanski all day, Streep can go die in a fire.

>i'll defend a jew who raped a 14 year old in jack nicholson's hot tub
Goodest of goys

His work was worth it, she got her payoff and shit. Persecution that drags random rape victims into it for decades doesn't help anyone.
>>
>>87242227
Are there any reports on how much they've lost this year?
>>
name ONE (1) non-indie movie that was worth a watch this summer
>>
>>87242844
Logan Lucky. Not the price of admission but at least to watch
>>
>>87242227
This only takes into account the box office money.

It's not counting the funding movies get for pushing leftist propoganda, which is pretty fucking widespread now.
>>
>>87242227
>hollywood has bad summer
surely it's the fault of the internet
couldn't be that this crop of summer movies was shit
>>
>>87242844
Dunkirk, Baby Driver, War for the planet of the apes
>>
>>87242227
nice. Rot in satan's asshole, pedowood.
>>
>>87242227
>hollywood dying
FINALLY
>>
>>87242556
I'm pretty sure "some like it (t)hot" was the first successful movie to Jew it's way out of the production code
>>
This would be great, a major crash would a) make them re-evaluate what they exist for and b) stop them paying so much money to stars.

A crash is needed.
>>
>Michael Pachter

He found another industry to pollute with his lies and ineptitude?
>>
>>87242343
>irrational
It's not that irrational to hate someone like that. Every time she's acting like a bitchy self-important diva on screen you can rest assured that it isn't an act.
>>
>>87242978
incorrect
the Production Code did not prevent Hollywood making good movies-- it helped them.
>>
>>87242556

Right. That's exactly what the movie industry needs. Arbitrary restrictions.
>>
>>87242227
Good. I hope Google's insufferable bullshit helps destroy Silicon Valley too. Putting control over all our cultural eggs in two baskets (LA & SF) was one of the worst ideas ever.
