The Movie Industry Is Coming Back
I don't know that we're going to see as dramatic or at least in the short term. I'm sure there will be, you know, if we fast forward to 2038, the TV business will look very, very different than it does now. There have been, there's a more consistent output of big movies now than there has been at any point since the pandemic. This summer is very crowded with big movies.

So I was really pre streaming for Netflix too. That was really, that was very much the DVD era. And those were just television shows I've already paid for. Yeah, it was driving the Netflix. You were just generating more money for the people who made those TV shows. Yeah.

the TV business will look very, very different than it does now. So, yeah. But I don't, I'm not going to pretend I know all the changes. When I bring you in for these podcasts, we do them over the phone or Zoom. We talk about lots of different industries. We've spent almost all this time on TV. But do want to ask about movies. It's May. We've been hearing for years that the movie industry was going to come back. It seems like this year, at least in volume, there's going to be lots and lots of opportunities to go to the theaters. Whenever a movie does well, I read a headline in the trade saying, the movies are back. People flock to X number to this movie or that movie. Are movies back? Are they back to pre pandemic levels? And if not, will they ever get there? They are not back to pre pandemic levels.
Speaker 1
They may get there in the next couple of years. There have been, there's a more consistent output of big movies now than there has been at any point since the pandemic. Kind of, this summer is very crowded with big movies. We've got this Guardians of the Galaxy movie that's doing really well right now. The new Fast and Furious movie comes out this weekend. I believe the Little Mermaid live action movie comes out a week after that. And so it looks healthier than it has in a while.
