re: Black Widow finally comes out this week **SPOILERS**

What initially seemed like the vindication of a dual-release strategy, then, turned out to be a neat example of the strategy’s financial foolishness. After all, if everyone can access a new blockbuster at once, it’s unlikely to hold people’s attention for longer than a week.

I mean how is this not obvious as frick to these shitheads who run companies?

Every Netflix show that comes out is forgotten about a week or so after it drops. Squid Games was MASSIVE.... for a week and now nobody is talking about it anymore.

Game of Thrones would have never become the ratings monster it did for HBO if they didn't do a weekly release that had people talking and theorizing about what would happen next.

It's crazy to me that these people can get into such high power positions and not understand something so obvious.

Yeah, and they get pirated out the arse too.

This as well.

Putting your movies on a streaming service the same day as a theatrical release is just begging for people to pirate the hell out of it.

On top of that, lets say you do a streaming/theatrical combo release but your movie is blocked from being released in China for a few months b/c of how they protect their market. Well you just screwed your movie out of making any money over there b/c w/in a few day's pirates have translated it and out in the world.
