Right now, the average price for buying a movie ticket is about 8-bucks. Ticket prices are expected to go up 3 or 4% this year and some theaters will be raising prices by 5-dollars. Part of the reason is that fewer people are going out to see a movie. Director Steven Spielberg is predicting that, [...] The post Steven Spielberg Predicts Movie Tickets To Go Up – Way Up! appeared first on Rick.com . ...

Steven Spielberg Predicts Movie Industry Collapse

Steven Spielberg is making a shocking, but not really unexpected prediction, that the American movie industry may well be the next major American industry to be hit with an economic collapse and disaster. Spielberg is beginning to see too many major films not making back their production money enough to repay the investment made to produce those films, resulting in the collapse of some major studios. MGM was a prime example, the company fell into bankruptcy where the last James Bond epic was long delayed while the company looked to find someone to buy the company so production could resume on the film. Spielberg views the business model for many studios producing films as a flawed business model, with too much high investment for a risky return. The $200 million dollar loss taken by Disney for JOHN CARTER was viewed as one of the most startling big losses for the movie production business, sending shockwaves through the industry. With rising production budgets as well as great uncertainty about the positive prospects for many films to make money, moviegoers could easily see sharply higher ticket prices soon or else much lower budgeted production movies as companies seek to hedge their bets against possible high risk financial collapse. ...

Normally TV productions are outside of our wheelhouse, but when Steven Spielberg and his Amblin Entertainment banner round up some A-list talent to bring to life letters from around the world sent to Jackie Kennedy in the wake of the assassination of her husband and President of the United States of America, John F. Kennedy , we're inclined to pay attention. Letters to Jackie is a new TV documentary based on Ellen Fitzpatrick's book of the same name which looks at more than 800,000 letters, read by Jessica Chastain, Channing Tatum, Frances McDormand, Zooey Deschanel, Anne Hathaway and more. Now a trailer for the TV doc airing on TLC this fall has arrived, and it's really very touching. ››› Continue reading Steven Spielberg Produced Kennedy TV Doc 'Letters to Jackie' Trailer ...

This fall will mark fifty years since November 22, 1963 -- a date that continues to haunt American history. When John F. Kennedy was assassinated, it seemed to mark an undeniable shift in the country, away from the positivity and hope that followed War War II, into a more fraught and frightened era with more wars overseas, social and political upheaval and much more. To mark the anniversary, there will undoubtedly be a ton of programming and films to choose from, and this is one of them. Produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, "Letters To Jackie" jumps off the book of the same name by Ellen Fitzpatrick, and focuses on the more than 800,000 letters from around the... ...

Is Steven Spielberg right in predicting that the movie industry will implode?

In Movies: Kah Seng Tay voted up an answer. Mark Hughes Nope, Spielberg is wrong, and the clearest signs of this is right there in his opening premise. Spielberg says that studios are just investing all their money into big-budget films and not in more middle-range, modestly-budgeted fare, despite the fact the evidence doesn't back up his claim. Take a close look at the Oscars. Last year, of the 8 Oscar nominees for Best Picture, 6 of them had bugets of about $60 or less. The two largest budgets were $100 million ( Django Unchained ) and $120 million ( Life of Pi ). The year before that, of the 9 nominees, 7 had budgets of $50 million or less, one film had a $65 million budget (Spielberg's own War Horse ) and another a budget of $150 million ( Hugo ). The year before that, two films had budgets exceeding $100 million ( Inception at $160 million and Toy Story 3 at about $200 million) and the rest were low-budget fare. Etc and etc and etc. Most every one of these Best Picture nominees was successful at the box office, most of them very successful. Look at how many of them broke $100 million or more at the box office despite their low budgets. It's regularly noted that we're seeing a rise again in indie filmmaking, and that those indie films often are doing good business. Meanwhile, the ultra-low-budget horror genre has exploded and thrived in the last decade, getting more and more popular. Hollywood isn't just sticking all of its mo ...

George Lucas & Steven Spielberg: Studios Will Implode; VOD Is the Future

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, both giants in the industry that brought us the blockbuster film, Looking into their crystal ball, George Lucas and Steven Spielbergpredicted the imminent arrival of a radically different entertainment landscape, including pricey movie tickets, a vast migration of content to video-on-demand and even programmable dreams. Speaking on a panel at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Spielberg and Lucas took a grim view of the future of the majors and predicted theatrical motion pictures will become a niche market. “They’re going for the gold,” said Lucas of the studios. “But that isn’t going to work forever. And as a result they’re getting narrower and narrower in their focus. People are going to get tired of it. They’re not going to know how to do anything else.” Spielberg noted that because so many forms of entertainment are competing for attention, they would rather spend $250 million on a single film than make several personal, quirky projects. “There’s eventually going to be a big meltdown,” Spielberg said. “There’s going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen of these mega-budgeted movies go crashing into the ground and that’s going to change the paradigm again.” Variety | Read the Full Article ...
