But it doesn't tell us WHY this is going to happen. "There's going to be an implosion where maybe half-dozen megabudget movies are going to go crashing into the ground"
What kind of implosion? bought on by what?

How much did it costs to make ''Silver Linings Playbook''? compare that to the cost of Lincoln?!?Either way, I too LOVE going to the movies, even though I'm Disabled I try to save money to go see at least one 1st run Movie, i.e. last month it was Star Trek, which I Loved! But when I can't go right away, I go to the $1 movie theater! & Still get butter on my popcorn! Now, who can get me 7minutes w/Mr.Spielberg &/or Mr.Lucas, Its ALL I NEED to EARN just enough to get Off Disability!! REALLY, I'm telling the truth, just 7minutes! Blessings to All!

Good god, these two seems to have absolutely no awareness that they were the filmmakers responsible for the blockbuster model. Jaws and Star Wars changed everything.

There's something so unrewarding about making a movie and your audience is ONLY going to be a bunch of people looking for some time to kill on the couch after getting home from work. Entertainment is entertainment, but it feels more fun if the audience actually left their house to go see your movie.

Seeing the kinds of people who binge-watched Arrested Development for 7 straight hours on Memorial Day made me such a sad panda. Same with the people who watch a season and a half of Breaking Bad in a day. Sad fucking panda.

"three or four or maybe even a half-dozen megabudget movies are going to go crashing into the ground"

How will this happen? Even when they suck, they never seem to go "crashing into the ground".
