Wonder Woman 1984 is hitting HBO Max and Christmas 2020 has been saved ... or has it?
Jake + Mitch dive-into the loaded conversation surrounding the innovative release model for the latest DC movie property. Their excitement for the movie aside, it's impossible to look at the landscape and not ask the daunting question:
What will this mean for the future of post-pandemic movie-going?
The guys share takes on the importance of cinema as an art form and a worthy industry to support. Along the way they also discuss a few pain points:
- Are IP-driven "event movies" to blame for movie theatre struggles?
- Remember MoviePass?
- Just how successful will WW84 be?
Of course, there's no clean answer to any of this ... but the conversation persists. One thing is certain, however, the movie theatre industry will undoubtedly look different if it's going to survive.
Be sure to give a listen, rate, and review!
