Can't shoplift from Amazon
Posted on 9/9/17 at 3:02 pm to Paul Allen
There are still a lot of malls doing it right. The US just became way too flush with malls and nobody saw online shopping coming. The last few years has just been a regression to a normal level of brick and mortar retail. It will never truly go away if anything I see the successful malls flourishing. The mom and pop, smaller boutique stores are the ones that are going to be hammered.

Loitering and shoplifting.
Only partially kidding.
Honestly I dont think certain brick and mortar retail isn't going anywhere, especially clothing. What else are women going to do when they're bored??

Malls provide middle-aged adults the memories of a more simpler happy time. When youth was plentiful and your friends loved cruising the mall.
There was something fun about walking through cortana mall during the Christmas season. The crowds eating at Piccadilly or Mama Bravas.
It was magical being a kid and carefree. But then you become older and technology makes ordering product easier. The malls are going dark while the empty stores are a ghost town . The laughter has died and the warmth has gone cold.

Netflix produces movies, it will happen. They have a few battles to win, but they're doing it.
Netflix is only one company producing movies under their streaming service.
I mean, if you're talking about paying a monthly fee per studio then sure, but I doubt many people are going to be willing to subscribe to every single studio's streaming service.

Nflx is more than a streaming service, they're a movie company. Right now it's expensive for them to produce movies due to their compilation, however I'll go out on a limb and say they could do to the movie industry what they've done to the movie rental industry.

Yes.... I know. They're 1 movie company. What is being proposed is replacing the entire movie industry with a streaming service. It shouldn't be hard to see how that would be much, much more expensive than Netflix.

I think eventually it will happen. Theaters wont completely disappear, but the big 400+ seat arenas will give way to smaller more service oriented places like Movie Tavern.

Might not be as much as you think.
Taking a wife and three kids to the movies is very easily a $150 affair. See one movie every three months and you're pushing $600. If you were offered a service to watch day-one movies at home for $50 per month then you're not paying anymore but you'd get to watch it multiple times with all the conveniences of home.
That doesn't even take into account the fact that most of that money goes to the theaters and not the production company. Out of that $150 the producers get maybe $30-40. At four movies a year the company gets less than $200 ... they could only charge you $20 per month and increase their profits. The only thing they have to do is breakup the union-like control of distribution that the theaters have.

Northpark in Dallas stays packed. Some people just like going to the mall for instant retail gratification.
Trying stuff before buying helps a lot
I think its anchored by Neiman Marcus' flagship store

For the same reason why movie theaters are still packed despite having Netflix
Not sure how that's comparable.
Movie theaters are offering a product Netflix doesn't, new movies.

Don't forget being able to see it on a massive screen with great sound.
