> Amid rampant speculation pieces about the decline in revenue of sequels and remakes, a new report has posited that the drop in box office receipts, which some reports claim will be funtionally lower than any year since the 1920s, can be attributed to a much larger problem - the idea that millennials (people in the coveted 18-35 age range) are seeing less movies.
>The Atlantic's Derek Thompson postulates that this decline is due to the aforementioned proliferation of sequels by studios aiming to ape the "Marvel model," but that the effect of that sequel boom is an alienation of young people who instead turn to Netflix and other on-demand services to consume content. The result is a climate in which non-sequels and remakes flounder at the box office, while those same sequels and remakes are caught in a cycle of diminishing returns.

What a useless term. People in their 30's are in a completely different generation than people who grew up with the internet and smartphones (real millennials).
>>70646131
Found the millennial
>>70646131
this but
anything that keeps millennials away from me is a good thing.
millennials are 10x more likely than any group to pull out their phone during a movie. FACT
Retards watch movies on iPhones now. They don't have any taste and can't appreciate the theater experience.
>>70646204
Yeah, with all the quality movies coming out like Super Hero 5 and Michael Bay's Turtles 2
>>70646204
Retards like you don't have any taste and don't read any books and can't appreciate the narrative experience
I can play that game too, dad.
>>70645583
Why don't they just stop making shitty movies and propaganda movies ?
>>70646131
>real millennials
What's wrong? Don't like being told the truth? You are one. Deal with it.
>>70645583
With the amount of content you get, the ticket and food prices are just too high. I get that it's not the theater's fault but someone has to take a hit to their bottom line if they want to keep pulling in customers.
>>70646244
Because you'll call them pretentious hipster trash and then go back to spamming capeshit and game of thrones threads, /v/
>>70646204
Or maybe people don't want to pay $20 and have a garbage selection of movies to pick from if they don't have anything but a big corporate theater near them.
Good riddance. Will I be able to go to a movie without having light from some cunts iPhone blind me every 5 seconds if they stop going?
I always forget that you guys aren't very bright and have the most casual knowledge of film.
>>70646244

The point was that the term becomes meaningless if you're going to include such a wide range. You might as well call me Reddit too, even though I've never gone there for more than 30 seconds and the term is just used for anything you don't like.
>>70646131
Aww, the poor babby millenial is in denial
>>70646131
Millennials are only people who's biggest experience was seeing the new millennium.
If anything smartphones is more Gen Z
Good. Maybe now they'll go back to caring about the quality of their product and focus less on the profits... I'm looking at you, Fox, with your retarded plans for the Alien series.
>>70646311
>stop using millennials correctly!
>instead use it to describe people younger than me!
pathetic, lad
Well the concept of movie theaters is kinda bullshit these days. You're $10 for a brand new movie that you can just stream or pirate. Plus millennials are too lazy these days and don't want to move their fat asses to a different location when they can just watch a unlimited amount of movies on their couch.

So much this.
The other anon implies they are plebs for not going to the theatre and pay for watching Iron-man 45 vs Final fantasy 8: the revenge of the siths.

>Teen and Millennials “continue to overindex in terms of how often they go to the movies,” he says — challenging the thesis of a provocative article in The Atlantic yesterday that said Hollywood has “a huge Millennial problem.”

It's 100% this. Fuck off with the "kids these days" whining, and think about why things are the way they are. A young person can
>drive himself and friends to a specific physical location, choose from a limited selection of films to see at a specific time, pay increasingly exorbitant prices for tickets and food if you want it, and then see something that in all likelihood isn't good
or
>pay 8 bucks a month for netflix, choose from thousands of movies and shows, millions more on torrents, chill out at home with your own food and however many people you want whenever you feel like it
Movie theaters are dying. There is no real advantage to them anymore now that home theaters are so common. People only go to them for the spectacle of a big screen and big sound, which is why blockbusters always do well but smaller films are increasingly seen as not worth the expense for a big screen and not paid for at all.
>Actors are a shit

It's so funny that they don't recognize what's going on. They're dying because they've been replaced, and they don't even know it. It has nothing to do with ages. It's that a vastly superior system is available now.

Does it really mean anything to you? let alone matter? I'm 22 and couldn't give less of a shit honestly. Just a term to generalise a certain age group.I think it's the fact being labelled a Millennial entails a certain stigma which triggers people associated with the term.
Let it go senpai.
Reminder we could still have elections like this if it wasn't for Millennials
>>70646801
>41% of millennials thought religion is 'the cause of evil
They are right. Jews and Muslims are cancer and the cause of evil.
>>70646888
The question though is if the film industry can sustain itself on a market that almost solely wants to see things as part of a low monthly subscription. Say movie theaters do die out, or drastically decline. With the home video market already destroyed, how do filmmakers turn a profit? Just from lowly licensing fees to streaming services? We'd see a huge reduction in the amount of films made, and how much money they can be made with.
>>70645583
No, ridiculous prices killed movie theaters. Nobody wants to spend $20-25 just for two movie tickets. And god forbid you want to eat or drink something.
Not when you can wait for a couple of months and either pick up a torrent, buy the blu-ray, or red box it.
It simply isn't cost effective to go to the theater when there are so many other options.
>>70646274
agreed. shits way too expensive. also the theatre near me (mostly) only shows the 3D version of a movie so thats another increase in price and I aint dropping that 20€ for each time I wanna see a new movie

Nope they think its Christians, how dare you be antisemitic and Islamophobic in one sentence

>Capeshit killed the movie industry just like it killed /tv/
Indeed, capeshit killed comic books. There used to be a variety of genres featured in comic books: romance, comedy, sci-fi, westerns, war, horror. Capeshit literally destroyed them all.
Movies for the next 50 years will be nothing but capeshit.
>>70647125

>>70647171

Nice meme
>>70645583
>Postulates
I remember a strictly empirical based lecturer at my university for my fourth year mech eng unit who hated purely university experienced lecturers would often use this word.
He said there was two kinds of people in this world: those who postulate, and those that do. He would nearly always end every class with "do, don't postulate".
Considering he had 40 years experience with BHP and BP, was a lead engineer for the European Space Program, and had 6 kids, all of whom were surgeons/specialists/doctors, I tended to take what he said as truth. This is especially true with him being absolutely anti-sjw, and claiming any leeway given to anybody, will always breed inferiority and poor workmanship.
Truly he was the most based man I'd ever met, and would probably attribute the lack of demand to creative bankruptcy.
>>70645583
I've seen 8 movies in theatres in the last 6 months. None of them were remakes, sequels, or superhero movies. Maybe I just don't want to fucking see another remake, sequel, or superhero movie.

>actual, unironic commercials for products among those trailers
The movie industry has been actively destroying itself for a while now. Unless the state of the industry drastically improves, I say good riddance.
I'm waiting for the post-theater era.
>digital distribution is the only viable method of making movies
>now impossible for Hollywood blockbusters to turn a profit

I can't fucking wait.

What even is it about being a millennial that's supposed to be bad?
Having grown up with all your movies and cartoons being CGI? Not knowing how to function without looking at your phone every 2 minutes? Being raised on the internet? Having your childhood defined by the cultural wasteland that was post-9/11?
That's how everyone uses the term, and none of those things even come close to applying to somebody in their 30's.

>The point was that the term becomes meaningless if you're going to include such a wide range.
It's a generational moniker, the standard is approximately twenty years, or about the amount of time for the early members of the generation to grow up and start having children of their own. There's an early cohort/late cohort divide to most generations because of it, where the earlier members are more like the generation before and the younger more like the generation after. You see it with Boomers and GenXers as well.
OK riddle me this. How is an average guy like myself supposed to be able to enjoy the occasional movie on a giant ass screen if BIG CHAIN THEATER dies?
>>70645583

They're full of snobs-.When I was there last and tried to go to the toilet me and this guy nearly collided when I opened the door. He didn't seem to mind that, but when I said 'oops', he gave me a look of disgust, repeated the word 'oops' under his breath and shook his head. He nearly lost his shit at the notion that there are people in the world who say 'oops' in awkward situations instead of 'excusez moi'. That's the kind of people that goes to indie theaters.

My parents (48 and 50) and all their friends are on facebook, use instagram, prefer Netflix to theaters, watch the latest HBO shows, have smart phones etc.
The meme of 'adults' not knowing how to use computers is over. If all these 50 year olds can use social media and smart phones, then the 30 somethings are much closer to 18 year olds than you think.
>last movie seen in theaters was Black Gold
>only movie planning to see in theaters is Our Kind of Traitor
Who else is on that /one movie a year/ schedule? Most of what I want to see either doesn't exist or isn't playing at my local theater because Regal doesn't think it will have good returns.

You have to be an idiot to think this. You still couldn't have a serious discussion on /tv/ 5 or 6 years ago. You would have to shift through endless foot, celeb and meme threads to get to anything resembling decent. Even then it would be some faggots arguing until the thread was derailed.
>I blame Reddit for using 4chan as their dumping ground

BECAUSE MILLENNIALS
HOLLYWOOD PANDERING TO THEM IS WHY MOVIES ARE MORE SHIT THAN EVER
>>70648059
Older generations knowing how to use technology is a different issue than younger generations not knowing a world without it.
The digital age that started around the millennium probably represents one of the biggest shifts to ever take place in how humans interact with their world, and lumping together people on different sides of that shift simply just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Of course not.
Can we not call teenagers who constantly look at their phone every waking second Millenials? As someone who was born in 1990 I really feel like they don't deserve to be lumped into the same category as us, how about a different nickname, something like Phonies or Millennial Minuses? These apply strictly to anyone born during and after the year 2000.
I haven't been to a theater in 5 years probably. The last straw for me was when they started putting 10 minutes of tv commercials in with the previews.
>24
>never go to the movies because 9/10 of the things they are showing at any given time are utter shit, and often the 1/10 is just not worth the money
They are too expensive.
They are not luxurious/enticing enough - and if they are, it's some stupid fucking luxury theater where the seats are slightly nicer and they provide food option, which in turn is very expensive.
The whole fucking reason people started going to the movies was innovation, wasn't it? The ability to see something they couldn't see anywhere else, and with the added bonus of food/drink.
They need to innovate again or they will just get gradually phased out/down - just like TV.

Of course they don't, they're banking on all they can. maybe I'm just a oldfag but I think i'll stick with the old stuff for every kind of movie nowadays. I prefer my 90's X-Men over that dull 2016 version with the non-threatning Apocalypse who makes goofy faces in some shots. I'll stick to Alice in Wonderland and not that acid-induced, Tim Burton version.

>people texting and having screen glare in my peripheral

>assholes spoiling the movie to the people next to them loud enough it spoils an entire section
>uncomfortable worn out seats in desperate need to reupholstering

>They are too expensive.
this
while people can complain about theaters gouging customers on concessions, that's where they make their money. They don't really make a whole lot on ticket sales anymore, so to stay in business they have to raise food and drink prices.
The real elephant in the room is how much movies cost to make these days. I mean just look at some of the budgets for blockbusters, it's insane. It's easy to yell about da joos in hollywood, actor salaries, expensive CGI and special effects, but the prices are all getting so ridiculous because movies are getting so expensive to make.
>mfw the last 3 movies I've gone to see have been Civil War, BvS, and Star Wars
How about getting creative with movies instead of remaking everything, Hollywood?

>>70649060
>-people taking their shoes off and propping stinky feet near my head
Do people actually think this is ok? I've had people do this with such foot stank it could be smelled 3 rows down like 8 seats wide. Keep your fucking shoes on you disgusting cunts, this isn't your house. It's always women too.
>>70649084
>getting creative with movies
There are creative movies but turns out you just want to see capeshit and rehashes as proven by your post, let's blame Hollywood for that.
>>70649084
Why would they get creative when you still pay to watch them you fucking retard.
>>70649118
Nope. I've been to about 30+ theaters in my lifetime in various states and all have been upper class areas. The stuff i'm describing doesn't happen every single time but when it does it makes me wonder why I bother going to the movies at all. I get just as much enjoyment watching the movies at home on my nice TV with nice sound.
I don't need to have the chairs literally shaking from the sound or to develop tinnitus from overly loud movies (i'm looking at you Man of Steel) that don't know the meaning of restraint. There have been a handful of experiences where I actually thought being in the theater was a better experience and they can be counted on one hand. Avatar was one of those even though I thought the movie itself was mediocre.
>>70649064
Not sure if troll or retarded, I guess likely both. I'm a Gen X though.
>>70647803
Why am I going to go out of my way to get something I won't enjoy?
I can wait a few weeks and just get a perfect blu ray rip.
>floors are frequently sticky or dirty
>everything costs too much
>seats are uncomfortable
>movies come out in two months and can be immediately rented for a buck at redbox
>can come free with netflix/prime/whatever
>can be pirated easily
>can't speak to friends about the cool movie you're watching
>having to deal with other people who in no way add to the experience
Watching movies in the theater offers no avenue for social interaction, and even stigmatizes it. Nobody wants to go out with friends and just SIT and maybe say "Haha that was cool :)" after it's done. Conversely, people who're okay with seeing movies alone have no reason not to pirate them and watch them in the comfort of their homes instead. Gimmicks like recliners or dinner won't save theaters, they need to engage people's sociability somehow.
Not only it is expensive, but as society becomes more self-centered, people are ditching their social lives in favour of spending more time alone in seclusion.
A high quality 1080p 150" projector is $500-700. And you can watch good movies on it. Whatever you want. The theater is dead.
>>70649350
I thought the point of the theater was to be entertained or have your thoughts provoked or any of the other myriad things that films do and then discuss with friends afterwards over pie and coffee.
>>70649350
If you spoke to me while watching a movie we wouldn't watch movies together anymore.
>>70647279
>>70647171
I'd beat the fuck out of you if I encountered you while watching a movie.
If you have a decent TV and a decent sound system (or headphones) there is literally ZERO reason to watch a movie in a theater unless you want tinnitus and to be annoyed by obnoxious strangers.
You can save up all the money you'd spend going to overpriced theaters and buy yourself a good home theater system. It's simply an outdated model and it's dying the death it deserves to. Don't even get me started on the crap pay theaters give out with sporadic hours. I worked way too hard to get paid that little compared to other minimum wage jobs.

>>70649446
Maybe at a time when a town had one theatre and watching a movie was an event. There are so many pieces of entertainment, including world news, television shows, videogames, and more that people have no reason to talk about a two hour movie that came and went unless it was critically acclaimed and/or they're film buffs.
