Hollywood ... as in, the end of ....

And Netflix is raising prices, especially for the 4K streaming.

And by your tone I guess you are that guy with the vision and balls to back it up, if you were only given the chance?

Talk is cheap.

Actually, I intend to make my own chance. I do have the vision, at least for a niche audience. For a general audience, probably not. Time will tell about the balls.

Apple - not to be confused with Applebet - is getting into the streaming business with some guy named Spielberg.

So, uh, these scandals don't help much either.

The bad news bears are occupying the cable company HQ's.

Reboots and more reboots.

I missed the "Flatliners" reboot. It's still in theaters. Which gives me a chance to miss it again.

While not Hollywood's fault, they have missed out on my dollars lately on several movies I've wanted to see(American Made is one of them), because my local theater has all of a sudden stopped having any showtimes after the 7 o'clock pm hour during the week. And it's not a small "mom 'n pop" theater. It's a good size Regal theater with easily 10-15 screens and 4K Sony projection.

"Geostorm" might swallow someone's $100M.

"Snowman"'s also tanking but it has a much lighter $35M budget. "Blade Runner 2049" is at ~ $200M globally but will likely need to be in the $450M neighborhood to break even theatrically.

Just the name alone... Is there not anyone left in-charge that is old enough to remember? Why would you name your movie after THIS?

This looks like a semi-numerical (i.e., prone to other interpretations) rating of web sites. Old media vs. new media.

And, speaking of storms, Miami Herald is up due to Irma.

Comcast (CMCSA - Get Report) and Charter Communications (CHTR - Get Report) added to the tally of third-quarter cord cutting in Thursday earnings reports. Comcast lost 125,000 video subscribers while Charter's pay-TV rolls declined by 105,000, reflecting the broader trend of Netflix (NFLX - Get Report) and other streaming companies luring away traditional cable customers.

And another round of cuts at ESPN likely.
