where the people who made the movie get paid for their labor get paid for their work. he’s not even saying a theater is the only place he wants his film seen. he’s saying he wants his movie in cinemas for as long as it’s viable there. knives out 3 would still come to streaming. you’d just have to wait a couple more weeks to see it. it’s a minor inconvenience for you, but for a second line gaffer, or for a craft services worker, the cinema time might be their entire livelihood for the year.
if you think everyone is rude in a place you go, and this is the amount of effort you’re willing to put in to understanding what’s going on and what people are saying, i think it’s very possible that the reason is because you are abrasive to interact with

Not trying to insult. Just saying Rian Johnson saying he would like it if his movie production staff were paid, and you telling him to go fuck himself, and you perceive everyone you interact with as rude might be related and indicative that you are abrasive to interact with. I’m willing to be wrong, but take it into consideration. Because Rian Johnson isn’t talking about you. He’s not telling you he need you to go to the cinema. But you sure took it like that, which is odd

I seriously doubt those members of the crew are paid based on box office success. Pumping out more movies for streaming should increase the number of movies that are available to work on.

Their union fought extremely hard to get distribution shares from box office runs in the 00s and its still part of their collective contract. It’s an extremely meager share, but it’s still where their financial stability comes from. Yeah there’s more jobs available if more shovel movies in production all the time, but that doesn’t get them more stability, it aligns them closer to day laborers. The IATSE Local 44 (who most of hollywood’s studios’ workers of this variety are represented by) are expected to strike in 2027 because they don’t get as much from streaming films as box office films.
