franfar Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'm not a total opponent of early VOD/streaming. I think the industry should embrace it. It's convenient. But ofc, some movies are must-see in theaters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ofc, some movies are must-see in theaters. I agree completely. So long as cinema is alive and kicking, I'm fine with VOD being in the mix. I just don't it to phase out cinema. Seriously, I don't know what I'd do. It would be one more thing that I'd have to sit on the couch at home to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Honestly, my big fear with VOD is with no reliable way to quantify money earned by individual films this forum would go kaput. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on if studios still keep the #s secret Plus, I don't think a bigger shift will come until later down the line, so maybe the forum would've evolved by then. Idk what the forums were like in 2011, were they totally focused on BO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Girl Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I am fully against early VOD streaming. Fucking terrible idea. I don't want movie theaters to completely disappear forever, and if that goes into place, then it's the first step to them eventually being gone. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Movie theaters will probably keep finding ways to stay relevant. Despite all the doomsayers the box office is pretty healthy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 VOD will only be used to dump junk nobody cares about. Besides you can't get the theatrical experience at home even with the best home theater system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theaters should definitely fight against it Theater are obviously fighting against it, they are always fighting for the biggest windows of exclusivity possible. But also according to some exec, movie studio should fight against it too (but they do not have necessarily much to say about it, all of them being own by giant media corporation that will do the VOD and have most of their revenue come from outside the movies usually) Remove all the prestige of the theatrical release and all that jazz surrounding every release, it will be hard to give a new release (specially mediocre one) more value to people than streaming a movie from 1983 instead or a movie from 6 month ago.
