No, but Sony stuff will get special treatment. Sony barely makes movies anymore anyways. They'll just charge other companies to screen their movies there or take a cut of the revenue from tickets; usually a combination of the two.
Democracy has failed.
Capitalism has failed.
Communism does not work.
Yet monarchy and variations on feudalism and aristocracy worked for thousands of years and only fell through israeli subversion. It's time to return.

Ok, but are they still going to have unnecessary ugly people and gays in their films? I could care less who owns the theater chain, if the movies are filled with uglies and homosexuals & the characters whine about white men ruining society I'm not seeing your movies let alone going to a theater.

How long do you give it before the major studios reinstate their cartels?
I'd say Disney, Amazon, and Apple will own a theater chain by the end of next year if this Sony deal isn't stopped. other companies will follow if these newly acquired theaters don't immediately go out of business after being bought. so 5 years tops
Looks like yet another case of boomers being utterly clueless about a new technology upending the landscape, in this case streaming services recreating the old model
>as the old model could never be recreated in contemporary settings
Netflix had been producing their own series for at least 5 years at that time, which also owns its own theaters now.
Alamo draft house sucks. Austin sucks. Anyway, I just think of that guy in the wheelchair who was a movie critic and shitting himself and throwing his diapers on the floor of the Alamo Drafthouse and that German director who made shitty video game movies talking mad shit about him
Won't they only play Sony films now?
No, but Sony stuff will get special treatment. Sony barely makes movies anymore anyways. They'll just charge other companies to screen their movies there or take a cut of the revenue from tickets; usually a combination of the two.
they’ll play whatever makes them money. which will be nothing in a few years
Sony has no films
speeder man
Madame Web
Welp, it's over
>Welp, it's over
You guys realize Alamo was closing down right?
No. I didn’t realize that. I guess they couldn’t get back to pre Covid numbers?

C-can I be king? Or at least a duke?
It’ll go to the billionaires. Like it always does.
Chuds are becoming more unhinged day to day.
Monarchy works great if you're nobility, otherwise it sucks.
Enjoy mucking out stables all day every day for the rest of your life.
Yeah but I'm going to be nobility though because I'm the main character
But I'm going to be king since I'm the secret protagonist.
That would be an improvement for at least 99% of the population.
How?
Serfs had a place to live.
People in rundown Detroit housing projects have better quality of life with heat and indoor plumbing than any serf had.

This is beyond cope, this is a delusion..

Sony pumps out the same degenerate shit the rest of them do.

I said my peace you mass reply queer. You are an idiot

Ah yes, Sony. The corporation that knows how to maximize a “good thing”
>i dont give a shit that my theory is full of hot air
Nice rebuttal
That sounds like that Trump fan fiction/pol/tards dreamt about.
Why would they they do that? Why would they do any of that?
Now Tim Alamo will never let me molest wait staff as I sit in my wheelchair and say "I'm a film blogger" and let me get away with it
Welp, it's over now. Bye bye Hollywood
So is Sony is going to continue their tradition of making movies exclusive to their hardware?
I hope DIsney buys AMC. studios might take more risks and make good movies when they control the distribution and theaters.
What’s the difference between discussing news in a screenshot and news in a link? It’s the same information.
Didnt Sony buy Seinfeld? They could just have one screen playing that 24/7 and either play ads and let people in free or something
fricking israelites
Spiderman raimi trilogy 24/7.
No, that's a good idea. Ghostbuster 2016 24/7 instead.
The Madame Web Twitch loop can finally resume.

>Buying a movie theater chain in 2024
Why does Sony hate money so much, bros?
I like how the laws are still on the books that a studio can’t own theaters, they’re just being ignored.
Isn't it specifically illegal for a studio to own a theater? Not that anything matters.
Yep. It’s so illegal that studios were nervous about having their own streaming platforms for years.
not since 2020 when the Paramount decree expired
>Such a deal would have been illegal until 2020: For the 71 years prior to that, an antitrust agreement known as the Paramount Decrees had blocked distributors and studios from owning their own theatres.
How did they know 71 years ahead of time when covid was coming out?

Buying a declining industry is not a good idea
Should focus on streaming services
Can theaters frick off already? I want all movies directly on my TV when they come out
Considering the Sony email leaks, morbius and madame web, death would have probably been a better outcome
Alamo draft house sucks. Austin sucks. Anyway, I just think of that guy in the wheelchair who was a movie critic and shitting himself and throwing his diapers on the floor of the Alamo Drafthouse and that German director who made shitty video game movies talking mad shit about him
I like how they shoot people who talk during the movie and toss them in a mass grave.
Imagine being shot and thrown clinging to life into a pile of corpses and Harry Knowles diapers.
Alamo's been shit for years.
>Buying a theater in 2024
Wouldn't it be simpler to pile up the money in the parking lot and light it on fire?
