- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 1 day ago:
That would be the healthy way of looking at it, but sadly isn’t the case for most who are “proud of their country.” The reality is that many just feel proud because they are told to, because it’s pushed onto them from the moment they attend school (the Pledge of Allegiance every day in class is an example of this). Being proud of one’s country for the sake of it just breeds nationalism, which just breeds extremism.

It isn’t yourimagination.
What it really comes down to is risk. In the 90s, studios relied on the dvd release as a second boost to revenue so if a film didn’t do well in theaters it had a back up.
With physical media all but gone the studios can only rely on theater revenue which has to be split with the theater itself.
Because of this, execs are sticking with successful old faithfuls rather than risking money on unprodictable new IP.
