THE GAMBIT STUDIOS PLAY NOW WITH THEATER CHAINS
Studios now have their own major Streaming websites, with many advantages like not having to pay for prints and advertising and building a stronger fanbase. The greatest benefit is Studios don’t have to share box office revenue with theaters, and can charge a lot for first-day viewing. But this is a double-edged sword: theaters need autonomy in choosing which films to show and what dates they get to keep the system honest and essentially open-source to theater fans. Right when theaters needed support from Studios, they pull the rug out from under them. Networks suffered the cuts from a thousand wounds when they chose Reality Shows over scripted series. Creativity First Films saw this coming in 2016 and planned to rescue theaters to preserve the art of filmmaking, and the company is willing to give up its percentages to ensure it. This dilemma will play out fast, and comparing it to what “China is doing right” puts it all into perspective. Scott Hadley Morgan will explain the multi-faceted challenges and then presents the solutions: competition is the best and fastest way to correct an imbalance and ensure equal opportunity.
WHY THEATERS NEED A NEW STUDIO TO “COVER THEIR BACK”
For decades Studios were prevented from owning theaters to ensure competition put films the audience wanted on screen, and actors and independent production companies wouldn’t get squeezed out of a cinematic display of their fine arts. Studios could add insult onto injury by bankrupting theaters by refusing to honor the 12-week window. But this Studio practice is like drinking your own poison: Avengers, Lord of the Rings, and animation never would sell billions year after year when only on the small screen. Creativity First Films saw this crisis coming, and through their superior investment and distribution system will save theater chains and the Actors, Directors, and Screenwriters that worked to be “movie stars” – not computer stars with a slight advantage over Instagram influencers. Creativity First Films has “got your back.” You’re not alone, theaters.
PROFITS OVER ARTS – THAT IS WHAT THE NEW STUDIO DEAL WITH THEATERS DEMANDS
Scarlet Johanssen, John David Washington, Chris Hemsworth, Gal Gadot, Will Smith, Leonardo deCaprio, and Margo Robbie didn’t strive to be computer screen stars, and Christopher Nolan et al didn’t plan to rise to the top of iPhone views. Yet, this is what Studios demand now since they own Streaming hubs, but the end game is to bankrupt theaters to control distribution. China’s Studio system is doing it right, and taking over the world of film if Studios in Hollywood put greed before the experience of watching a story unfold in a group environment as immersive as a theater. Creativity First Films saw this coming in 2016 and spent 5 years to present not just the support for theaters, but the greatest, most profitable investment into technology with entertainment ever!
STUDIOS COMMIT SLOW SUICIDE IN THEATRICAL RELEASES
The question isn’t whether Studios will suffer financial losses in merchandise and box office with their Faustian deal with theater chains: the question is whether their end game will destroy the art of film making. Theaters could defend themselves for decades until COVID, but pressure on them to reduce box office profits began long before, and with Studios whipping theaters with Streaming releases on the same day, it’s torturous, and all this takes to prevent the end of “movie stars” like Margo Robbie and John David Washington is competition offering a superior investment and distribution system. Scott Hadley Morgan of Creativity First Films will present all that hangs in a balance if theaters have the best films withheld from them. Barry Diller stated that Streaming has killed movies. This can be prevented by playing their system better than they can play it, and capturing the flag – elite Gamer strategy in action with the Creativity First Films/Crypto-Integrity-Tao “Mental Hand” of Blockchain.
