With so much free content on-line, the business model for movies just doesn't work any more. Revenues from DVD's are declining fast, as is backing from wealthy "angels" with big money to spend. And this was a summer of box-office flops. Studios are becoming revolving doors for executives, and are basing productions on comic books, graphic novels, webisodes and video games that can be serialized and "branded" for easy marketing. "Specialty" projects aimed at adults are fewer and farther between. We see how the wide world of entertainment is changing.
Guests:
Patrick Goldstein: Columnist and blogger, Los Angeles Times
James McQuivey: Media and Technology Analyst, Forrester Research
Mark Gill: Founder and CEO, The Film Department
Jordan Levin: Co-Founder, Generate
