Reply to comment by Hi_Im_Ken_Adams in Amazon to invest $1 billion yearly to produce movies for theaters by Familiar-Turtle

This makes sense. Disney & Paramount seem to be maximizing their earnings with this approach as Marvel & Top Gun have demonstrated. Keeps talent happy as well.

Netflix releasing Glass Onion briefly in theaters seems to be along the same lines.

I love what HBO Max did during the pandemic with their films, but the BO failure of everything except Dune and Godzilla/Kong seems to indicate it’s a losing business strategy.

What HBO Max did was a great way to push filmmakers away from your platform.

I'd argue there's probably a lot of film makers out there, getting subscribers is the more "essential" part of the business than finding film makers. There are tons of "up and coming" ones and such.
