Steven Spielberg: the "implosion" of the film industry is on its way.
![]() from the article... George Lucas, who was also on hand at USC for the opening of a new building at the School of Cinematic Arts, concurred with Spielberg's prognosis. "The pathway to get into theaters is really getting smaller and smaller." But what would a post-"implosion" world look like? "You're gonna have to pay $25 for the next 'Iron Man,'" Spielberg said, while, " you're probably only going to have to pay $7 to see 'Lincoln.'" Full story here... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_3435818.html |

Good. It's about fucking time they see they experience the harsh realities of an ever changing financial climate. Maybe some of these fucking asshats like Will Smith and Tom Cruise will realize that they aren't worth 20-30 million a film for once.

If I came to you and said, "Harmon, I want you to do a job for me I will pay you $20 million dollars for this job." It is a job you know how to do and you feel you can do a good job at it. Would you you take the money? |

Of course, and I'm not saying they are stupid for taking the money offered to them. It's just that the film industry has been on their high horses for decades thinking the bottom could never drop out. They have no intentions on adapting. Remember Blockbuster Video? Where are they now? Oh yeah...

so, the star of a movie - let's say Will Smith - brings that experience to a few hundred million people, giving enjoyment to a large percentage of that few hundred million people. Yet they 'aren't worth' $20m for that part?
l o l same dumb fuck argument idiots trot out when they berate sports' stars' wages. |

I HATE movie theaters. last few times I went was a complete nightmare. people texting or on their phone, talking, etc. its a process to go to the movies, not fun like it was when I was a kid.
Rather, Id easily pay $25 or more to watch the film AT HOME. I'm not sure why this has not been setup yet, but maybe with the next Xbox they can see how many people are in the room and charge you ![]() ![]() Plus, this just means the price of VOD will go up and eventually, Redbox will cost you $2 to rent a movie

The only ass hat here is you thinking they dont deserve there portion for doing the work, sometimes people dont earn it but do deserve it. By that I mean, there in-titled to 20-30 million when the movie makes 300-400 million.

They're losing a lot of money because entertainment options outside the theater are more plentiful, and better in some cases. TV has been so good in the last 10 years. Sometimes a good series is better than a movie.
and the OnDemand is killing them too. I think Tom Cruise should get a lot of money for making a movie, because there's only one Tom Cruise. Seriously, how many of us could do what he does? It's a lot harder than anyone thinks. But he definitely doesn't deserve to make $20 million a movie, especially when all of these bloated $200 million movies barely break even.

If the movie is worth it, I'd rather watch it in the theater than at home. Problem is, (like someone said before this post) all movies SUCK these days. Last good movie I watched must have been from 1994.

there are plenty of good television shows being made today there are plenty of great bands putting out new music today. the problem is that you need to look a little hard to find them. All the blanket statements like "everything was better 20 years ago" are just nonsense.

I think they need to cut the theatre out altogether or do theatre for 3D and straight to video at the same time.
Most movie theatres are disgusting places, I don't want to go watch something in some shithole that hasn't been cleaned and sit next to a fat fuck chomping on popcorn or slurping a big ass drink. I despise them. (As you probably guessed). And what do you get at the end of the day from a movie theatre? You watched 1 movie 1 time and probably spent more than you would buying a Blu Ray. They're dumb money to go to, here's what you probably get/or do: 1. Pay to watch 1 movie, 1 time, no chance of watching it again, unless you pay again. 2. Over priced concessions, popcorn, hot dogs, drinks etc. All overpriced. 3. Crammed into a shit theatres, onto a shit chair, to watch what will probably be a shit movie. 4. No home comforts at a theatre, you need a piss? Better hold it you fucker, this shit ain't getting paused! They should get their movies out to DVD, Blu-Ray, etc. ASAP. They are doing a better job these days, I remember in the 90s when you used to have to wait about 12-18 months for the bloody VHS to come out ![]() |

Now in NYC it's $13-$20 a pop. Really? So you can sit in a theater with a shitload of cunt bags that talk throughout the whole thing, texting, buzzing, pissing you off? Because people don't have 70+ inch TVs on their walls with Bose surround sound systems... sounds better, and you can watch it in a man thong. Fuck the Tom Cruises, Will Smiths, Michael Jordans, Tiger Woods, etc of the world. Overpaid, mediocre entertainment at best. I think you forget what a sheep you are. They created you... the sheep. These guys are 9-5ers, maybe a bit longer eating catered food in their fucking trailers outfitted with hot tubs, masseuses, cock strokers.... while they pull in TWENTY OR THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS PER FILM? Fucking dumb no matter what angle you look at it. It's called GREEDY. They need to adapt. They need to realize that people are getting accustomed to micro-payments. Until they do? Fuck em. I haven't been to a theater since Jurassic Park 2 or something. It's a gold sink. Quite frankly? They are spewing out CRAP. That's my opinion, like it or lump it. ![]() PS> No offense, I respect your opinion. I just feel that everybody needs to calm the fuck down and realize what the word WORTH means. |

here's a little info on that: http://gideonsway.wordpress.com/2012/05/06/film-money/ And meanwhile productions for TV like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead or the recent Liberace movie with Matt Damon and Michael Douglas have reached completely new quality levels and attract actors that never wanted to work for TV Now Netflix and Amazon start producing their own content. Things are changing...

Last movie I saw in a theater was in the early to mid 1980's.
It was too expensive THEN for the type of experience which in my memory was dirty sticky floors and the smell of dried soda, candy and popcorn all mixed together. At home I have a big screen, a pause button, arm rests, allowed to have drinks at my seat and no endless previews. Raise the minimum wage and people will spend on bullshit non-essentials again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting The studios set things up so that it always looks like the movie hasn't made a profit, which means to don't have to pay out to certain people at certain times. Empire Strikes Back is on the list of movies that still haven't turned a profit, based on this system of accounting. |

It's the movie business version of music business "recouping". The studios actually set up a business for each movie which then takes a direct investment of cash, that with all intents and purposes they want to keep them in the red, which means there's no net profit. If you think about it to, at this point Lucas and Spielberg are independent filmmakers. They finance their own projects. This paradigm shift really is huge for independent filmmakers, being the two at the top of the list. There guys know it. |

If people stopped going to see bad movies, sequels, reboots, remakes etc they would stop making them. The reason Will Smith makes a ton of money is because most of his movies make a ton of money. If people stopped going to see his movies he would make much less. so long as people support the type of movies Hollywood is making, they will continue to churn them out. As for there being nothing good to watch. That is is just not the case. Almost every week there are independent movies getting limited releases or releasing on DVD/pay per view that are very good. The problem is they might not be easy to find and you might have to drive a little further than normal to see them. If people support these movies more of them will get made. |

The studio can come up with all kinds of crazy line item costs for a movie like "office overhead" or "administration" and put huge numbers into those line items. They then keep money from the profits to cover these items that likely never existed or never existed at this level. |
