It's new that the BIG tent pole movies are going to be online (basically free). It also ruins the prospects of a decent Dune franchise.

Here's the real irony. There was all sorts of pushback about P2P by late-developers of the slow industries. Apple embraced and revolutionized the music industry. How fucking retarded are the movie/TV industries not to have come up with a model that works by now. ALL OF THIS would have happened eventually anyway with or without the COVID.

I just think it's already been doing that for a while. Maybe it was more B list crap but there's been a ton of stuff that's streamed that would typically take advantage of the higher returns from theaters.
