Everyone’s always making noise about cinemas dying, Covid killing cinema, streaming competing with cinema and what not. But there is also talk that streaming was always doomed from the start, and that it is one of those things that are quick to disrupt but also quick to fade away a little, kind of like airbnb, and how Netflix had a business model of getting new subscribers at the cost of profit. Could streaming and cinemas work together somehow to solve both their problems? I mean I know there are many movies that make back their money only because of selling streaming rights, so that is almost like a streaming-producer ‘collab’. But can more be done? Why didn’t dvd rock the boat as much as streaming, and could streaming revert to a more dvd-like model? People always say streaming killed the mid-budget movie that usually made money from dvd sales in the past. But I do see many of those dvd looking movies from the 2000s on Netflix and Amazon Prime, as well, so it looks like that same market is on streaming as well. Basically I’m asking how exactly is streaming killing cinemas, and can some kind of collab be done between them, has it been done before? Do streaming platforms need to change their ‘model’ and is it true they are going to gradually increase prices and slowly fade away? So in that way, are they actually ‘killing’ physical cinemas if that’s true?
