Is the ‘Big Screen’ dying too?
We’ve been talking about the impact of music online, and the rapid decline of the music industry, but what about the effect on entertainment and the movie industry?
There are an increasing number of websites that now provide free online streaming for the latest movies, even as they’re released in the cinemas. So, you can sit at home, and especially if you can hook up your laptop to your flatscreen TV and don’t have to compromise on the experience, you can put your feet up and watch the latest flicks from the comfort of your living room….best of all, it’s free!
So, will the cinemas be the next online online casualty, especially as far as lower budget, smaller movies are concerned, where you wanna see the movie, but don’t necessarily feel like paying 10 bucks to watch it, in case it’s crap?
p.s. I just watched ‘Bride Wars’ online on http://www.zshare.net/video/545704078015c934/
Very happy I didn’t go to the movies to catch that one! :-)
