\"Steven<\/p>\n

Steven Soderbergh<\/strong>\u00a0(Traffic<\/em>, Ocean\u2019s Eleven<\/em>) is not only one of the most prolific mainstream directors in Hollywood, but he\u2019s also proven to be one of the most willing to buck trends and experiment with both form and release strategies. The fact that he is open to new ways of doing things and has never stubbornly defended the old theatrical model makes him an excellent candidate to talk about last week\u2019s big news<\/a> that Warner Bros. is releasing all of its 2021 movies<\/a> in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously. And in a recent interview when that topic was broached, he didn\u2019t disapp<\/a>oint.
<\/span><\/p>\n

When Collider<\/a> asked if the big news meant the end of movie theaters as we know them, Soderbergh had a more level head than most. \u201cNot at all,\u201d he answered. \u201c[The streaming push is]\u00a0just a reaction to an economic reality that I think everybody is going to have to acknowledge pretty soon, which is that even with a vaccine, the theatrical movie business won\u2019t be robust enough in 2021 to justify the amount of [print and advertising money] you need to spend to put a movie into wide release. There\u2019s no scenario in which a theater that is 50 percent full, or at least can\u2019t be made 100 percent full, is a viable paradigm to put out a movie in. But that will change. We will reach a point where anybody who wants to go to a movie will feel safe going to a movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

When exactly that will happen, of course, is anybody\u2019s guess. But Soderbergh does not seem to subscribe to Steven Spielberg\u2019s old prediction that movie theaters will become highly specialized events which charge expensive prices only for the biggest blockbusters.
\n\u201cI think somebody sat down and did a very clear-eyed analysis of what COVID is going to do in the next year, even with a potential vaccine, and said, I don\u2019t see this as being workable in 2021. Because let\u2019s be clear: there is no bonanza in the entertainment industry that is the equivalent of a movie that grosses a billion dollars or more theatrically. That is the holy grail. So the theatrical business is not going away. There are too many companies that have invested too much money in the prospect of putting out a movie that blows up in theaters\u2014there\u2019s nothing like it. It\u2019s all going to come back. But I think Warners is saying: not as soon as you think.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soderbergh, who has worked in the traditional studio system, experimented with release techniques for smaller films like Logan Lucky<\/em>, and has worked with streamers like Netflix and HBO Max, has seen the industry from nearly every conceivable angle, so his word carries a lot of weight. It remains to be seen whether he\u2019ll be proven correct here, but we\u2019re certainly heading into an interesting new era in which the future of entertainment hangs in the balance.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Soderbergh fans will be pleased to know that the director plans to release a box set of seven of his films sometime in 2021<\/strong>. \u201cI\u2019m hoping next year to put out a limited-edition box set of the seven titles that have reverted back to me, or that I have some control over. We\u2019ve been remastering them and cleaning them up\u2026it\u2019ll be a collection of titles that weren\u2019t made for studios, and in the case of\u00a0Kafka<\/em>, hasn\u2019t been available for a long, long time\u201d he said<\/a>.
