Netflix and the Student Film Maker

Filed under: Uncategorized — nixnet @ 8:14 pm

So the last post made me start thinking about student film makers. I think its appropriate to say film majors are movie buffs and most of them subscribe to the service.

A rumor I have heard about the film industry is, movies usually try to break even in box office sales in the U.S.. Films usually do well and make their profits oversees.

Let’s say we have a film student that makes it big in the industry and releases their first motion picture into theaters in the U.S.. Who is going to come see it?

I have said before I think Netflix is contributing to the decrease in box office sales. Here is my conclusion: Film students are hurting themselves by subscribing to Netflix. What happens when no one goes to the theaters to watch their movie because everyone is at home watching a Netflix DVD?

This is just a little something to think about.
