Labuza on some possible ramifications
When sizing up the major studios in the 1930s, the DOJ investigated one important question: was there fair competition in the industry? Because small independent films had almost no access to the theatrical market, and all theaters had no choice but to bow to the majors and whatever prices they set, the government decided this had little benefit for the consumer.The end of the Paramount Decision could have a cultural effect on choice, as theaters may be forced to further limit their options. For example, A24âs success through crossover hits between arthouse theaters and the major exhibition chains will become less likely. A24 might be able to continue to get films like Moonlight, Midsommar, or Lady Bird into arthouse theaters, but would find it difficult to get space in the multiplex that was once amenable to booking smaller films next to a Disney or Paramount blockbuster.A24 will survive, but the market changes will make it more difficult for new companies to find similar space in the theatrical market. It will be more and more likely that new indies can only make it into theaters through established companies, if not the giants of Netflix and Amazon. Currently, a lot of these artists are turning to streaming services to reach audiences, but if streaming companies start taking over theaters as well, indies will find theyâre dealing with the same gatekeepers on all platforms. While the growing success of many arthouse theaters has in many ways depended on prioritizing community involvement and creative programming, their options may become limited. Depending on larger companies to help discover new talent seems anathemic to the successes of films like Parasite (Neon), Tangerine (Magnolia), or Brawl in Cell Block 99 (Cinestate).

It gives Disney a huge catalog from which to pull remakes while burying the original films. Not kidding. I know writers and directors who have been approached to âpick a project from the catalog.â For a new generation, the original will not be available for comparison. https://t.co/1UfXibNolI— Eddie Muller (@EddieMuller) December 6, 2019

In its third week of release, Knives Out is #3 at the US box office and still building word of mouth.
Entire multiplexes in multiplex-sized markets are dropping it after this week to screen only Disney's Star Wars and Frozen.

If youâre wondering why you canât see the new Terrence Malick in a halfway decent theater anywhere in NY, iâve been told by theater managers itâs because Disney owns it now & are demanding exorbitant terms. It is unaffordable to most of the venues that wouldâve happily shown it.— MZS (@mattzollerseitz) December 18, 2019

Iâve seen one Star War in the last 39 years. Black Christmas has been reduced to one screening a day at 11:45pm, and both it and Knives Out are ending altogether on Tuesday. I waited for Jojo Rabbit to reach an independent theatre. My choices are not causing or supporting this behaviour by Disney.

has a good cast, and I was curious about it, but even though it is only a loose remake, it is the second one in the last 13 years.
and the original is one I love dearly

pretty sure I said nothing of the sort tbf
even though it is only a loose remake, it is the second one in the last 13 years
it's the first one by April Wolfe! I can't imagine a closer remake would have been a better PG-13 slasher film for teenage girl audiences in 2019.

Well they've made ME sick of superheroes and Star Wars. and i never liked the live-action remakes of cartoons.
all 3 live-action remakes this year were artistic failures -- lady & the tramp didn't even make it into theaters. i can't see them having any shelf life.

Hollywood is usually fairly quick to stop riding a dead horse. They hate, hate, HATE to lose money. They are usually pretty quick to spot where the next profits will be coming from. It's why Cannes, Sundance and the other IFFs still draw the big money crowd looking to cut deals.
