It’s no secret that the movie industry has been hit hard by the pandemic. With theaters closed for months, studios have had to get creative in order to get their films out to the public. Universal Pictures recently made a bold move by announcing that they would be releasing their films on streaming services the same day they hit theaters. This decision has caused a stir in the industry, and now AMC Theaters has responded by banning Universal films from their cinemas.
The decision by Universal to release their films on streaming services the same day they hit theaters has been met with mixed reactions. On one hand, it allows people to watch the films from the comfort of their own homes, but on the other hand, it takes away from the traditional theater experience. It also puts smaller theaters at a disadvantage, as they may not be able to compete with the convenience of streaming services.
In response to Universal’s decision, AMC Theaters has announced that they will no longer show Universal films in their cinemas. This is a bold move by AMC, as Universal is one of the biggest studios in the industry. AMC has stated that they will not show any Universal films until the studio reverses its decision to release films on streaming services the same day they hit theaters.
The decision by AMC has been met with both praise and criticism. Some people are applauding AMC for standing up for the traditional theater experience, while others are criticizing them for taking away the opportunity for people to watch Universal films in theaters.
It remains to be seen how this situation will play out, but one thing is for sure: the movie industry is in for a wild ride. With AMC banning Universal films from their cinemas, it’s clear that the pandemic has changed the way movies are released and consumed. It will be interesting to see how other theaters and studios respond to this situation in the coming weeks and months.
