    The projection is welcome news for the global film industry, which has been on shaky territory since the Covid pandemic.

    "The past five years have been defined by moving targets," explains film industry expert Stephen Follows. "Release plans kept changing, audience behaviour kept wobbling, and the assumptions underpinning financial models failed to hold long enough to be useful."

    But the writer, producer, and storytelling consultant believes that things are finally more stable and it's now possible to "know what the market is."

    That's not to say the film industry isn't still a risky business, says Follows.

    "The film industry has always been risky, but in recent years, those levels of risk (and the deleterious attempts to mitigate them) have made it much worse," notes the expert. "The underlying mechanics have shifted in ways that make it harder to finance films, harder to market them, and harder to predict what success even looks like."

    Follows believes that we have entered a "new normal." Six years since the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the industry and it still hasn't returned to how it used to be. He says that those in the industry are starting to accept that things are not ‘bouncing back’ and have instead begun to adapt.

    One major shift is that people are no longer routinely going to the cinema. Nowadays, it's considered more of a treat.

    "The pandemic, the rise of streaming, and the massive increase in the cost of living have reframed cinema-going in people’s minds," Follows explains. "Rather than a low-friction, cheap night out, it has moved into the category of a ‘big night out’, such as big music gigs or theatre."

    A 2025 survey backs this up. The US Kagan Consumer Insights survey found that the percentage of adults attending the cinema at least once a month has declined by more than half since 2019. The figured stood at 39% in 2019 and is now at 17%.

    A separate poll saw three quarters of participants saying they would rather stream a movie at home than of watch it in the theater.

    "Still, a majority of Americans, 65%, have gone to see a movie at the theater at least once [in 2025]", reveals the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. "Few people are regularly watching new movies – just 16% go to a movie theater at least monthly and 32% stream a new movie monthly."

    It never made sense to begin with. I mean, everyone dreams of being the characters, but seeing a person or cgi remake ruins everything by attaching it to an actual human an not just the fantasy of animation.

    In a bid to save money, cinema audiences are now building “when can I watch this at home?” into the decision of whether or not to buy a ticket, says Follows.

    "A recent Cineworld/Regal consumer survey found that a third of consumers believe that a film will be available to stream at home within 30 days of release," he explains, adding that his own research shows that the average movie arrives in US homes from US cinemas in around 37 days.

    While it may seem like a win for the general public, these short theatrical windows are hurting cinemas and costing domestic theatres about $100 million a year

    All is not lost, says Nathan Roberts, a hardcore cinephile who is also a filmmaker, professor, and head instructor at Harvard Extension School.

    "Every time you go to sit down and see a film with a group of people or by yourself, there’s always something that is going to be moving in a new and different way. That is what gives me hope in filmgoing: There isn’t a preset way of how movies move us," the expert told the Harvard Gazette.

    "There are always possibilities for new forms and new ways of being moved, and new ways of forming collectivities, whether it’s seeing films in the theater, gallery, or seeing films at home," adds Roberts. "The lack of predictability, or the lack of predictable response, is a beautiful thing."

    Dune is my lifelong favorite book (both of my dogs are named after characters from the book) and the modern movies are (so far) an excellent adaptation that stay fairly true to the source material. Don't get me wrong, as a child of the 80s I loved the David Lýnch movie, and enjoyed the early-2000s miniseries, but the modern movies are superb. Really looking forward to the third one this year. Just sad that my boy Fenring isn't in the movies at all and only his wife Margot is XD

    What? I doubt a king would have worn a friggin CAPE and ermine mantle on the battlefield. Not only would a cape have gotten in the way and impeded his movements during swordplay, it would have made him an enormous target to every single enemy. A king would probably wear a surcoat or tabard possibly with his family's coat of arms on it, but that's it. Not a cape/cloak. Brozef is an idiot.
