The film industry is currently facing significant challenges, and its performance has noticeably declined compared to past decades. While blockbuster films like Sinners still emerge, the overall cultural landscape surrounding cinema appears to be diminishing over time. Box office revenues have plummeted, reflecting a stark contrast to the golden age of cinema. One reason for this shift could be the plethora of entertainment options available at our fingertips, leading audiences to prefer watching films at home rather than visiting movie theaters as they once did. This trend is increasingly evident as viewers opt to wait for films to be available on streaming platforms. Traditional genres, particularly superhero movies, are failing to draw the same level of enthusiasm they once commanded. In fact, the latest major releases from Marvel are projected to incur losses exceeding $100 million each, a staggering amount that highlights the troubling state of the industry. Meanwhile, the video game industry continues to thrive, surpassing both movies and music in terms of revenue and audience engagement!
