Sure, I agree completely, but again let's remember what these studios are, basically glorified banks who invest in content to make money and sell agendas. They're already losing a ton of consumers every year and if not for the expansion of foreign markets the situation would be even more extreme. They need to keep making as much money as possible to keep the investors happy, which is why chasing IP's has become more valuable then creating original content. I'm not saying I agree with it, but at the end of the day Hollywood is just another business trying to stay afloat in the technological landscape..
It will be interesting to see how this evolves, we are just at the tipping point of the digital revolution, which has made creative content much more affordable and democratic then ever. The Hollywood model is becoming obsolete in a lot of ways and the good news is many of these artistic voices being lost in the wilderness will have more options at their disposal going forward. They can bypass the Hollywood suits (and model) all together. So many of these newer platforms are just screaming for content and will even moreso going forward, so there's a start. As long as people can see it and you have the chance to build an audience then OK, it doesn't have to be in a conventional theater. And let's be honest, the theater experience is not what it used to be, including the fact that people seem to be less socialized then ever in a public forum. At least in my experience.
