Honestly, for years I’ve been saying “Hollywood is dead”. What I mean by that, is back in the day when people had nothing what to do for entertainment, they went to the movies. It was an event, and if you didn’t see the movie while it was in theaters, you had to wait months for it to be released on video to be in the know about a film. It was a thing to keep up with all the glitz and glammor of the celebs. As content changed, today’s younger crowd are not into movies or the life of the actors. Now, kids could care less and look more towards instagram content creators, not to mention have zero attention span. They see most movies in clips on tik tok.
I had a convo similar to this with a friend and told him the same thing, young ppl don’t care about Hollywood (nor should they) and told him I bet my 20 year old niece doesnt even know who (I can’t remember who it was but it was a big a list star with a great career. Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt or something along those lines) is. I asked her, she had no clue who i was taking about. I’m in my 30s.
Anyways, the industry needs to figure out how to lower its budgets to become profitable again I feel. I’m ok with it dying, too much content to consume these days it’s hard for me to get excited to see acting, let a alone most of it seems phoned in.
