Hearing about red one “flopping” in theaters is so interesting considering when I first saw the trailer my immediate thought was I’d actually be interested in watching this on a streaming service. But as soon as I saw it was a theater release I was like guess I’ll wait till next Christmas when it’s on streaming. My anxiety keeps me from going to theaters often but I love a theater experience when it truly feels like it could be an experience. I thought it was like a whole thing that Christmas movie theater releases are a huge gamble. But I’ve seen a good majority of Christmas movies getting theater releases this year.
In my opinion though streaming is like the perfect place for holiday releases. People associate Christmas movies with curling up cozy on the couch with hot chocolate. It’s no surprise to me that Netflix has started pumping out Christmas movies almost just as much as hallmark. I know going to the movies during Christmas is actually a common thing and is actually a lot of people’s tradition. But I feel like that’s not even for Christmas movies particularly. Like wicked is clearly set up to be the big holiday release this year. Just like how Harry Potter was for many years, Or how the last Spider-Man movie was.
This is so incoherent I’m just rambling.
