This was great. With Seth Rogan’s The Studio getting some acclaim, I enjoy seeing these types of stories about Hollywood still latching on to the relevant and the controversial elite. We’re now in the reduce, reuse, and recycle phase of film - I mean no one is going to the theater anymore, however I just saw that Weapons garner 100M at the box office. There is a glimmer of hope and I’m glad this book/your article exposed that.
obviously moviegoing has irrevocably changed with the quality of technology in the home, the inconveniences of going out and other post covid things.
americans will always want to go to the movies and witness things first and in real time with their neighbors.
i think this is why you have top tier directors focused on imax and other specialized film technology digital or otherwise. sure i can watch dinkirk at home but i cant experience 70mm. so while the idea of 10 weekends in a row of outstanding grosses is probably gone forever there is still a way to make it work.
moreover until we actually want to go out in our communities and feel like they are ours and not just foreigners here to take our jobs and drive up costs for housing food insurance everything else, americans can’t feel that sense of community. can they?
