I'm glad this article offers a solution, but is it really going to solve anything?
I fully agree that a film having a short time in theatres might seem that if affects how/when I watch it, but I don't think just lengthening a films time in theatres would really solve the problem.
For me, if I'm going to see a film I see it opening weekend 99% of the time (maybe a slight delay if there is a personal conflict.) If I'm not seeing it opening weekend, I'm happy to just wait. Sure only having to wait a month is great for me, the consumer, but if I had to wait 6 months I'm going to just wait 6 months.
The problem, as I see it, is that there is an infinite amount of things to watch. The supply is endless. This is great for me as the consumer, but a problem if you're a supply/film creator.
Now not all supply/films are created equal. So how do you fix that problem? How do you convince me to see The Brutalist (in theatres)?
