DESCRIPTION:\n	‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Flopped at the Box
	 Office\, but It’s Breaking Records on Streaming Platforms\n\n	I think w
	hat this shows is the theater business model is in trouble. \n\n	I quote 
	the article\n\n	Even though the film did not perform well in theaters\, it
	’s finding new life on streaming. On Disney+\, Captain America: Brave Ne
	w World has stayed in the Top 10 in the U.S. for an impressive 56 days str
	aight.\n\n	This information was reported recently and shows that people ar
	e still interested in the movie\, just mostly after it hits streaming plat
	forms.\n\n	This trend isn’t too surprising. Superhero movies still have 
	big audiences\, but lately many fans prefer to wait for them to be availab
	le at home. Streaming services like Disney+ make it easy to watch these fi
	lms over and over\, which can give movies a second chance after a slow the
	ater run.\n\n	https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/captain-america-brave-

	hy theaters are dead\n\n	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbjN0xDN45E\n\n\n
	\n	MY COMMENT\n\n	thank you\, I said it for years. When theaters were take
	n 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 stre
	aming services studios own today.  Because theaters are separate financia
	l 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\n\n	Apple doesn't own the th
	eater. 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 o
	f 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 movi
	e theaters closed or closing\, many people don't live near a theater which
	 ends their viability. \n\n	COMMENT URL\n\n	https://www.youtube.com/watch
