‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Flopped at the Box Office, but It’s Breaking Records on Streaming Platforms
I think what this shows is the theater business model is in trouble.
I quote the article
Even though the film did not perform well in theaters, it’s finding new life on streaming. On Disney+, Captain America: Brave New World has stayed in the Top 10 in the U.S. for an impressive 56 days straight.
This information was reported recently and shows that people are still interested in the movie, just mostly after it hits streaming platforms.
This trend isn’t too surprising. Superhero movies still have big audiences, but lately many fans prefer to wait for them to be available at home. Streaming services like Disney+ make it easy to watch these films over and over, which can give movies a second chance after a slow theater run. https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/captain-america-brave-new-world-flopped-at-the-box-office-but-it-s-breaking-records-on-streaming-platforms/ar-AA1JO0tv?ocid=BingNewsSerp
MY COMMENT
thank you, I said it for years. When theaters were taken from the film studios that was when theaters went on this road. Theaters originally were owned by the film studios so that they were like the streaming services studios own today. Because theaters are separate financial entities, as well as cable/t.v./blue ray - dvd, I think studios see a return to their era when they owned theaters, so they had all the profits, and the rest can get lean. 18:06 thank you
Apple doesn't own the theater. It has been discussed but it hasn't happened. One thing you missed is how from when the film studios owned theaters to today, the quantity of theaters has lessened. In NYC many many theaters closed from the past to now. And that matters in that, who is going to go miles to a theater. A movie theater must be local, it is an offline business. With so many movie theaters closed or closing, many people don't live near a theater which ends their viability.
