Lots of movies now are being streamed. Paramount plus shows a few first run movies while trying to run in theaters. HBO max does the same. And Netflix.

It died long ago when they started making remakes starring LGBT’s and blacks in the original role models; Wild Wild West for one, Ghostbusters for another, then the Captain America and Marvel nonsense.

There hasn’t been and creativity in Hollywood for a very long time. However, it’s not dead, it has just decided to move away from the disgusting creatures in Hollywood.

I’ve been watching The Chosen, it’s incredible with amazing talent and great storytelling.

Does the fact that post-modern, marxist-propagandists have taken over movie production have anything to do with it?

They detest 60% of Americans. They detest America. They show contempt and disdain for men and then they wake up to discover the movie industry is dead.

A bit slow on the uptake I’d say. Does this mean that there will be no more celebrities to lecture Americans?

Movies are the new TV. The studios create “pilots” now instead of cinema. If it’s successful, they make a prequel, sequel, spin-off, etc.

There will always be inspired and skilled movie makers who will give us good movies. But entertainment has always been mostly forgettable stuff with a few gems in there.

Hollywood movies are DEAD! The actors and perverts KILLED IT!

Got T-Mobile Internet. Got rid of Hughesnet satellite Internet.

Now that I have T-Mobile Internet ($50 a month UNLIMITED), I am dropping Direct TV next month. Now I get Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu, as well as all those free ones ROKU etc..

Lots to watch, many new, made for Netflix/Amazon etc. who needs Hollywood.

I SAVE over $200 a month with more to watch including all my favorite shows (mostly) COMMERCIAL FREE!

Hollywood and Network TV are DEAD! Just like George Floyd, They killed themselves.

Good riddance to all three.

I've seen no more than a half dozen films made since 2000. Any film i might want to see I can get from my local library (which has a great collection) and watch it on a nice 49 inch TV with the bathroom and the kitchen a few feet away.

Movie theaters...and new films for that matter...can vanish for all I care.

Old man yells at clouds. Things have changed. But it’s not dead. Not by a long shot. It’s just not the industry he knew. Although honestly it wasn’t the business he thought it was then.

Movies aren’t dead but movie making will move more into computers using CG talent. No location costs … no grumbling human prima donnas … no equipment rentals and lots full of busy workers

He’s right about streaming services. The product is thoroughly diluted to the point where most of the content is unwatchable. I’ve been noting Apple TV’s rollouts and even the trailers are bad. There’s just nothing there.

On the other hand, it’s a banner market for actors, but they will have to get used to less pay with fewer viewers and more material vying for everyone’s attention. I don’t see a future for new marquee-level names once the current group retires and dies out.

Dunno if it is dead.
But it is going to be hurting.
The theater experience is pretty unique and usually (in a decent theater) superior to the home streaming experience. It creates a level of immersion in the movie that you can’t have at home.
There movies I want to see in a theater.

Heard the same thing about the publishing industry when ebooks came out.

The gate keepers and guilds died, to be replaced by new ones.

That is part of life. It used to be if you were a great stage actor, you had a comfortable life traveling around in productions. That died with the movies.
