The Hollywood machine is a very weird one. The secret to making a successful film was supposed to have been solved decades ago, but as the world kept changing, so did our way of watching films. What used to be a relatively easy task evolved into a scheme that the geniuses behind the movie business haven’t been able to solve. In the past, it was all about watching a movie you thought you would like in a movie theater. If it was good, or if you at least liked it, you dreamed about it, waited for a home video release or a TV premiere, and that was about it. A rewatch was occasional, and with every iteration, someone made a few bucks in residuals.
