The working themes for films these days
Now, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the chick flick will soon be extinct from theatrical releases. The only films that seem to be working are Superhero, Adult Comedy's, and Animation. Think about it, for grown ups to go see a movie, what do they want to see?... Reality at its worst! Hence, "The Hangover" and now, "The Hangover 2", which will top the box office again and so will the third one. Yes, that's right I'm predicting a pre-qual for Hollywood has run out of options and the only option is to stick with what is working, which brings me to Super-hero's. The question is who doesn't love a super hero? And third... Yes, if your wondering why I didn't explain after the last question is because there is no explaining anything for that's a pretty solid fact in my opinion. So, back to the third theme that is working, which is animations. I personally hate animations, but that's because I'm a 27 year old male that has no kids. The one thing I said in the last sentence that proves my argument that animation is still be a top theatre seller, is kids! Kids drive the whole animation and theme park world with merchandise and all the fix-ins that come with it. For with out those little restless humans animations and animation films would be pointless. Nothing brings out the checkbook faster than a nagging kid hounding his mother about wanting to go see Shrek. It gives the parents time to nap as well as the little hellion watches the movie, cause you know their not getting any sleep at home. These three theme's during the recession still made money in the theatres when horrors, chick flicks, and any other film seemed to fail. Let's think together shall we... Ok, during hard financial times what keeps you going? First thing that comes to mind is laughter, ok check. Second, is imagination to think your in a different place cause reality sucks! Those two things you can find in all three of those themes I've mentioned and that is why these three themes of film are going to make money for days to come.
What you thinking DISTRIBUTION!
I look at distribution like a stubborn old man. For the saying goes, "you can't teach a old dog new tricks". Will someone please shoot this old man, for it seems this old man is trying to take everyone down with him. Netflix business model seems to be the only thing making money on digital distribution because as much as we might not want to see the age of DVD's and CD's to be gone (for your collection is almost complete with your wall cover in cases) the day is upon us. Netflix does have some issues with download time and streaming issues, so recently the invention of the cloud fixed all the those issues. Now if all of the majors can get together and put all their movies together for one large library and charge a low price. Well people welcome to the world of Ultraviolet, which allows you to stream movies/music from any of your viewing devices. Will this finally stop piracy?... Hell No! You kidding me, no matter what the majors do to try to stop piracy, there will always be a person in the movie theatre's with a camcorder recording the movie and selling it to people that don't have time or money to waste on the movie theatre. This brings up the question in ten years will the movie theatre's still be in business? Don't think so, for I think on the films release date you will be able to stream the film directly to your house for a flat rate via internet or your cable provider, your choice taking the open window away from pirates.
