how streaming services are reshaping film distribution
The rise of streaming services has fundamentally altered the landscape of film distribution, rendering traditional models nearly obsolete. It's no longer just about box office numbers; now, global reach, monthly subscriptions, and original content seem to dictate success.
While giants like Netflix and Amazon Prime have paved the way, newer players such as Disney+ and HBO Max are also jockeying for position, creating a highly competitive market where the film's first stop isn't necessarily the silver screen.
This shift has had cascading effects on the industry, from how movies are funded to how they're marketed, pushing industries to evolve at a breakneck pace. As we approach the next decade, this transformation appears to be accelerating, not slowing down.
