Aug 22, 2017 · 1 min read
Jumpster Steve Frechette discusses the future of the movie industry with Noah Maier. Here’s a few bullet points from their discussion:
- The model of sitting in a dark room with blinders on, not making a peep, has been relegated to a previous time.
- Social interaction will build on experience, not interrupt it.
- Theaters are becoming homes. Homes are becoming theaters.
- New technology will be critical. Holograms, augmented reality, virtual reality, neural networks, etc.
- Personalization: What if I could actually see myself in a film? What if the audience could direct the film live?
- Different cultural influences will show up in different markets (e.g. Anime/Ghost in the Shell).
- Growing international opportunity.
- Watch for proliferation of production and development of movies.
- Tons of opportunity for amateurs to harness the power of new distribution channels.
- Saturated market will strain the big studios.
- Disney’s move to create a streaming network will change the industry. We already see the writing on the wall.
- Growing opportunities for segmentation among subgroups.
