ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Can Warner Brothers turn a profit on direct-to-streaming blockbusters? ….maybe.
In a timely episode, Eitan and Carl model hypothetical theatrical and streaming releases for three films: Godzilla vs. Kong, Wonder Woman 1984 and Soul. This discussion showcases the hard path to profitability that streamers face. Though this episode was recorded before the announcement that Warner Bros. would put all of its 2021 films directly on HBO Max, Carl and Eitan provide analysis on how this streaming move adds up. They also end up chatting about the future of franchises, canons and standalone content.
(Don’t worry, we’re dropping an emergency Warner Bros. episode tomorrow.)
In news this week, they discuss Universal Japan’s Super Nintendo World, react to rumors of a new David Lynch show and give a final eulogy to Quibi.
The main topic starts at 16:25 this week.
