The model is what will support actual film making. Streaming will not. The only streamer who has money is Netflix. For the most part, their releases are shit or a massive waste of money like The Electric State. We're getting sequels, reboots, and IP fests because that's what we, the audience, will only support. But those movies will also support passion projects like the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie and Sinners by Ryan Coogler that will be expensive and probably won't make back their budget. I'm trying to think of the last wholly original idea that made any money that wasn't in the horror genre. I guess Civil War. And sure we all have great home systems but I'm going to see Sinners in 70MM IMAX next Sunday because I want to support a filmmaker who definitely went the extra mile to try to give me a great theater experience.
The Minecraft thread can attest to the power of the communal experience that you're not getting by waiting till the movie comes out on streaming.
