Still hilarious that Steven Tyler snuck the shocker in there for 18 years before Disney noticedI wouldn’t call Aerosmith family friendly but it works in Disney.
Meanwhile at Disney HQ:
Funny how only Rocky Horror was spared that exception. You figure that shows like that get people into the older films and help make them fans. Either way, not a good look on them.
Movie theater business needs to adapt. The product they offer is not worth the price they are charging when I get a ton of movies at home from streaming services.Disney's Fox Purchase Already Impacting Small and Independent Theaters | Graphic Policy
Looks like Disney is going to pull all classic Fox movies so people would be begged to purchase either Hulu or Disney + to watch these movies instead.
They especially need to adapt away from the 90-day minimum window most major theaters try to still hang onto. The fact of the matter is that films make the vast majority of their money in the first 14 days of release. There's no reason for movies to be required to keep a movie in theaters for so long when they make most of the money upfront.Movie theater business needs to adapt.

I fear it's gonna take Disney threatening to take something like, a Star Wars, Pixar or Marvel movie straight to Disney+ if they won't agree to change their business model. Or WB threatening to take a big DC move straight to HBO MAX. Or Universal saying they're taking Jurassic World and Fast 9 to streaming.
Interesting times, we're in. So much is happening in the streaming realm and theaters can't just sit around and not adapt.
That was 2 years ago. With Disney+ and the new Netflix model of Theatrical and to home release timing I am sure Disney will have a different view. Although big blockbusters like Star Wars may be the exception.What are you talking about...its Disney that demands their movies be shown in the biggest theaters for at least 4 weeks.

4 weeks. That goes to my point. Disney knows that all the money is made early in the run and if they have to keep it in theaters for 90 days, they want it shown as much as possible in that time.What are you talking about...its Disney that demands their movies be shown in the biggest theaters for at least 4 weeks.

Agreed, I expect a dramatic shift in theatrical releases over the next few years as the streaming services continue to create more and more original content.That was 2 years ago.

Theaters need to focus on the experience over the films now. I avoid big multiplexes but actively seek out Alamo Drafthouses (and similar) and will see a movie I'm only marginally interested in just to go. That's what you can't get with streaming.Movie theater business needs to adapt.

Theaters wise I just hate the way the rest of the population behaves while there, it's more that than prices that keeps me away.
I just don't see this merger being good for the industry or the public, Disney have too much power IMO.
I feel bad for the independent cinemas but the reality their product is less and less of a consumer demand. Most people don't want to go to the theaters anymore. Sure there are demographics that still will go but the niche art houses are a dying breed. Just a sign of the times.
