Did they shelve the summer Hollywood blockbusters?
I don’t keep up with entertainment. But I vaguely remember a new Wonder Woman movie coming out. Sure there are other fantastic movies beyond that.
They are just waiting to roll out all that goodness?

I think studios are waiting until theaters can open and charge all that money. Releasing straight to home video is a major revenue loss.

I think the new James Bond movie No Time to Die was pushed back from April 10th to November 20th.

Theaters mostly aren’t open, they’re not going to blow a $100MM movie on a partial release and then streaming.

Who even cares anymore?
I personally have lost all interest in anything leftist Hollywood has produced and hopefully they all have to find regular jobs. Hopefully people will start reading more and stop enriching all the kooks in Hollywood. Tony |

Yeah those look like good throw backs.
I didn't realize they reopened after the initial lock down.

Drive in is open here.
They are probably holding off because a big movie is a big investment, have to get that return. Not a lot of movies I have wanted to go see in a theater. I don't enjoy going to theaters much anyway, maybe because I worked at a movie theater a few years. Seems like last few times I have gone, there was someone talking, or on their phone, something annoying. Sort of turned me off.

"Greyhound" is being released straight to Apple TV... The new normal?
I'm disappointed. There's nothing like the big screen!  EDIT: Set for: July 10 Debut.

Yep, most summer blockbuster releases have been postponed until a later date. I read something that said many were postponed until the fall, but that seems odd. I suspect we may not end up seeing a bunch of them until Christmas or next summer.

They all realize the value is in the content. Look how much stuff Netflix produced after Disney cut off their movie stream to roll their own. Then look at Netflix price... |

Dominoes:
First theater prices will increase, until people stop going to them. Then DVD prices, until people stop buying them. Then streaming prices, until net neutrality is challenged by ISPs and Hollywood uses piracy to enact SOPA/PIPAII. The internet will then have to become highly "regulated"....

oompa loom pas are super creepy on the big screen. next week is empire strike back. trying to talk them into old john wayne movies.
