NY Times - How Will Movies As We Know Them Survive the Next 10 Years?

Good read

Big studios are gobbling each other up as smaller movies struggle and even name-brand titles tank at the box office. Netflix is revolutionizing the way people watch films, while major new streaming services from Apple, Disney, Warner Bros. and other deep-pocketed studios are coming soon. And every aspect of the movie industry — from the diversity of its storytellers to the spoils of Oscar season — is being called into question.
“This is the biggest shift in the content business in the history of Hollywood,” the producer Jason Blum recently told me. But what will it all look like when the dust settles? To find out, I convened a virtual think tank of key Hollywood figures, and their message to the movie industry was clear: Adapt or die.
24 major Hollywood figures peer into the future, including: Ava DuVernay (on audiences), Jason Blum (on producing), Octavia Spencer (on acting), Kumail Nanjiani (on comedy), Lena Waithe (on black filmmakers), J.J. Abrams (on blockbusters), Jon M. Chu (on diversity), Jessica Chastain (on dramas), Elizabeth Banks (on female filmmakers), Barry Jenkins (on the Oscars) and Joe and Anthony Russo (on two-hour narratives).

J.J. Abrams
When you have a movie that’s as entertaining, well-made, and well-received as “Booksmart” not doing the business it should have [the teen comedy underperformed at the box office despite critics’ raves], it really makes you realize that the typical Darwinian fight to survive is completely lopsided now. Everyone’s trying to figure out how we protect the smaller films that aren’t four-quadrant mega-releases. Can they exist in the cinemas?
JESSICA CHASTAIN
Actress, “Dark Phoenix,” upcoming “355”
What happens to these beautiful, small, dramatic stories? Are other studios going to make them so that we don’t lose part of our art form?

They whine about people not coming to the theater, but they refuse to award Best Picture to films that are made for the theatrical experience in recent years: Gravity, Avatar, Inception, La La Land, The Revenant, Fury Road...

Seems like every movie these days is all or nothing, it has to be a blockbuster or else
One example of a genre that has completely died is kids sports movies. Movies like Sandlot, Mighty Ducks, Little Giants, Rookie of the Year, etc., or live action kids movies in general like 3 Ninjas.

How about if they start with:
"NY Times - How Will Newspapers As We Know Them Survive the Next 10 Years?"
But yeah, theaters may be in for trouble. Smaller movies will do just fine on Netflix, Amazon, etc. They've done very well for TV series and my guess is that will translate into movies too (Ballad of Buster Scrugs for instance).

Well kids are getting fatter and fatter and staying inside a lot more.

The average theater-goer could not care less about the Oscars. And theater owners, the people this shift affects most, aren't Academy voters.

All of these Hollywood types just love Booksmart. It's hard for me to recall a movie I wanted to see less. Hollywood types get an idea, like remaking classic movies with female leads, in their little circle and think everyone else thinks exactly the same way. Then they are shocked when the movie flops.

Do young people(Teenager to mid 20s) really not go to the movies for the most part?

Maybe if Hollywood wouldn't try to alienate half its audience ever other day, they'd have a brighter future.

They'll make the same 12 movies people actually like to see over and over.

Look at all of the remakes and reboots over the past several years and you will quickly see that creativity in Hollywood is at an all time low.

So much obsession over labels.

How about if going to the movies didn't cost so much? That and if they'd quit insulting a large portion of their audience.

Agreed. But if you are gonna have them, which panel member is there to discuss the perspective on Good Movies.

This. It cost me $42 to take me and my kid to the movies last night. I spend less than that taking her to the Knock Knock Museum. That's absurd.

Movies should be priced individually to put butts in seats. That drives concession sales, everyone wins.

If they really want to drive theater sales then they need to lower prices. Look at the Falcons stadium model
Lower your insane markup in half and triple your sales and boom your profit increases

The film as a large format, shared experience only has a future in big budget, tentpole franchise films.
I don't like that fact, but being in denial about it changes nothing. The streaming services/small format outlets, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, HBO, etc., will be where the critically acclaimed dramas and, largely, the comedies, all end up eventually.
The problem the streamers have now is splinterization. When Netflix was the default choice, there was a broad consensus about where to go. Now that every quarter it seems a major content entity seems to be going their own way, they're going to have problems getting a critical mass of consumers under the same umbrella - maybe that era has already ended in just a few years.

Movies will outlive the New York Times.

My nephew takes too much after his dad and hates sports.
My niece would prefer to play herself than watch someone else.
I dunno they don't seem up for the shenanigans kid stories of yesteryear. Anyway that's my anecdote.
