Hollywood Breaks

We welcome back Robin Geisen this week to review the past year and the big impact on the Industry. 
The shift into streaming has had the biggest impact from Disney+ 80M Subs to the Warner’s debacle with distribution on HBOMax. Keith Rauch and Robin Geisen debate the overall impact on all the players from studios, talent, exhibitors and award shows. Despite the uncertainty and major changes, theatres and streaming can co-exist but the viewing audience may not agree. The theatrical experience may be different but it can’t be replaced. 

Does AT&T see the talent as a simple commodity and not recognize the importance of relationship and trust when it comes to stockpiling quality entertainment? And moving their theatrical release to the Direct to TV Brand down grades their reputation from a film studio to a network.

And stay tuned to the end for everyone’s favorite Christmas movie
