Wall Street killed shit. If it doesn't look good on a spreadsheet, then the suits don't care.
The Fall Guy hit VOD in less than two weeks. What kind of message does that send out? To audiences and filmmakers alike (even as a background extra, that has to be disheartening).
The studios are doing this to themselves. Netflix is still the biggest streamer despite still being billions in debt and consistently doling out garbage that's talked about for a day or two before everyone forgets about it.
It's scary for sure, but these people don't even give things a chance. Even Barbie was shoved to VOD pretty quickly last year when it was STILL making around 8 million a weekend.
