Bloomberg: Despite Netflix, Movie Theaters Had Best Summer in Decades Flash Aug 29, 16:10

Stupid article. What's Netflix got to do with Summer Blockbusters? {nm} Antibody Aug 29, 16:12

“The notion that streaming has led to a decline in cinema attendance is really over-exaggerated” {nm} Flash Aug 29, 16:28

It's a self-serving quote. No one had a notion. {nm} Antibody Aug 29, 16:31

What did Netflix offer this summer? The World Cup is arguably the bigger competition. {nm} Antibody Aug 29, 16:32

I guess there are some who think Netflix would (or is) affecting movie attendance...but I don't agree, either. {nm} Flash Aug 29, 16:36

because its 100% true. Netflix has changed consumer behavior. {nm} Moviesnob Aug 29, 16:47

But not for Summer Blockbusters. Antibody Aug 29, 16:55

netflix means there will continue to be consolidation with studio tentpoles/summer blockbusters, but if the point is that Moviesnob Aug 29, 17:16

Theater admissions have stagnated, last year and this year the summer season had similar admissions as 25 years ago, when the domestic MattW Aug 29, 18:04

What's the age distribution though? The prime moviegoing range probably haven't grown that much. Netflix came at the expense of TV. {nm} Antibody Aug 30, 08:57

Netflix is interfering with content. They are increasing the broadcast window at the expense of the other windows including theatrical {nm} Moviesnob Aug 30, 10:44

I think Netflix is building overall documentary feature audiences and that is partly behind their boom at the box office. notfabio Aug 30, 08:33

I have a half written article that's similar to this thinking. The three big docs this summer all skewed younger {nm} Moviesnob Aug 30, 10:56

Agreed. Don't see how one impacts the other. {nm} VictorY Aug 29, 20:01

Movie Theaters had the Best Summer in decades because Hollywood made quality films that moviegoers wanted to see this summer. {nm} Antibody Aug 29, 16:40

its a total lie Moviesnob Aug 29, 16:43

weirdly, i think i've probably seen as many movies this summer since the comic superhero takeover began {nm} slipping jimmy Aug 29, 16:55

summer 93 films i saw in theaters: Jurassic Park; Sleepless In Seattle; In The Line of Fire; Another Stakeout; Rising Sun; The Fugitive slipping jimmy Aug 29, 17:03

do you have moviepass? is that a factor? {nm} Moviesnob Aug 29, 17:17

nope, fall-awards season is what summer used to be for me in terms of things i feel compelled to watch in theaters {nm} slipping jimmy Aug 29, 17:21

summer is a strong season for arthouse content too. Foot traffic is up. But Eighth Grade would have made more money Q4 IMO Moviesnob Aug 29, 17:25

yeah, Eighth Grade, Puzzle, WYBMN, Three Identical Strangers, and Sorry to Bother You all felt like ones i would usually see after Labor Day {nm} slipping jimmy Aug 29, 17:34

Oscar docs usually hit over the summer. Puzzle and STBY found their audience. Eighth Grade would have benefited from a traditional Oscar Moviesnob Aug 29, 17:43

maybe but still feels like the best it could hope for is to be this year's Lady Bird {nm} slipping jimmy Aug 29, 17:49

which did 3 or 4 times the box office.... {nm} Moviesnob Aug 29, 18:02

Jeez, how films have changed for the worse. Money is money though and that's all that matters. {nm} Prophecy Aug 29, 17:46

there was a lot of other crummy stuff released that summer. and i still hate myself for paying to watch Another Stakeout slipping jimmy Aug 29, 18:10

The title (and article) is a complete farce. "Best summer in decades" - Their metric is biggest season over season gain since 1998, 14% {nm} MattW Aug 29, 17:11

Weren’t people like watching tv before Netflix . Only tv/ cable has sufferr d I guess {nm} bunty_ketti Aug 29, 21:02

Netflix and streaming often have huge holes decelles Aug 30, 09:33
