Paramount is going to buy Warner Bros. Is that a great deal? I don't think so. WB had lots of debt. Now, Paramount is adding to that debt by buying WB. They will fire duplicate service employees. They will make fewer movies, even after promising more. Netflix came out of it with a 2.8 billion payoff. I do think Netflix should start moving some films to theaters. They really need to win the trust of Hollywood. They might think people prefer movies on a small screen. I disagree. If it's worth seeing on a big screen, then that is my preference. I can not say I look forward to many Netflix movies that make. They seem like the straight-to-video type of movies that flooded video stores. On top of that, I hear that productions have to dumb down their storytelling to appeal to people who do not pay full attention. If they can start going into theaters, they can win over the actors/directors who fought against them. I think a 2 to 3 week window with wiggle room would be great. Most movies do not last that long. If it sells well, they can override removing it. I always hated when we got stuck with an awful movie. Little did I know that movie corporations would book crap and tell theaters that if they did not play it, they would not be able to play a future blockbuster that they know will sell.
