Future of Movies

The movie industry is something that is always chaging over time. In order for one company to comptete with another or one theater to compete with another they need to continue to come up with new ideas. So as we move foward with movies from here on out we will need to continue to develope new ideas.
The movie industry has been looking at ways to control that amount of content that is downloaded and watched for free online. This leads to where i think the future of the move industry is headed. In the futur i think that all movies will be watched online. Not only wil we be watching them online but we wil be watching them for free. The only thing that we will need to pay for would be the price of the internet. I think that this would work becasue they could set like a ticker that counts the amount of times the movie was watched online and that is how the movie industry would make its money. A good example of this that is already happening is the show south park. You currently can watch every eppisode online for free, again with only paying the price of the internet. The convenience of this is that people can watch this stuff at their own convenience.
The old business model of selling cinema tickets, television rights and DVD versions of a title seems so unsuited today. At least for me and my friends who love seeing movies on their own computers. I think that this is the future becasue lets look at how fast this internet is moving these days.As film moved to the Internet, movie rental downloads soared and the traditional rental scheme changed. While Blockbuster and other retailers tried to make the changes, some of them just could not compete with the online world. Netflix truly changed the way video rentals worked, and they continue to lead the market in the future of movie rentals. I see all movie rental retail stores closing in the future.
As you can see i focused more on the future of where we will be able to get movies and how the renting of movies will work in the future. This part of the movie industry is something that is changind based more on the needs and convenience of people. People like convenience and now having to leave thier own home, that is why I think this is where the direction of movies is heading.
