5 Reasons Why Cinema Is Dying And Needs To Evolve (And 2 Ways It Could Do That Instantly)

Apparently, this began back in the 1950s when TV exploded onto the scene. Or perhaps it was a gradual thing since back then not many families could afford a TV.

The point is from the day that people were willing to allow the screen into their home, cinema was believed to be under threat. Of course, that was all scaremongering and TV and cinema lived in peace and harmony for somewhere close to five decades.

That is until a show called The Sopranos hit the air. We won’t argue that there were phenomenal TV shows before it, with the likes of Taxi and Cheers real stand-outs. However, The Sopranos looked like it belonged on the big screen.

Its production values and the lessons from the new wave of French cinema in the mid-20th century meant that people were enthralled with how it felt to watch.

Now, some twenty years later, TV series are just as big in some ways as movies. Not in small part because of the fact that TV shows have far longer run times which allows for a bigger arcing story.

With big-budget shows now really starting to take off, Marvel has spent a reported 150 million dollars on the up and coming six episodes of WandaVision, it means that cinema is up against something that is far less costly to watch and just as great to look at in most cases.

So, it looks like, all that fearmongering of the 50s and 60s may be coming to pass after all.
