Bn? Bananas? I can pay 75 bananas for Warner.

Sad day for theater goers and physical media fans...

Theaters can survive... but they'll need to change.

1. Fuck off with the pre-roll ads. Abusing a captive audience that literally paid to be there was a shitty move in the first place, but now that people have the easy option of staying home, it's not something that can be afforded any longer.

2. Fewer screens. The multiplex isn't the future. Movie houses with 1-3 screens will be the ones to survive.

3. Accommodate breaks. Construct auditoriums that allow people to get a toilet break without missing the show -- integrate bathrooms into auditoriums, innovate with quiet/silent plumbing & ventilation, and pump the movie audio into the bathrooms. Controversial take: experiment with inserting intermissions.

4. Lean heavily into multi-use. Theater owners should strive to integrate live sports, television premieres & finales and live performances (drama, music, etc) into their venue's event calendar.

RIP Gunn DCU, obviously they'd kill you after the one movie that really understood Superman...

Netflix brought in the meta of slop content that took the industry by storm. None of this slop catches my attention, so go ahead. I won't consume this crap regardless of who makes it. The greed of it all shows in the finished product, which is all it is to them, a product. Art has been sold out for a quick buck.
