Seth Rogen on Emotional Filming of Steven Spielberg's 'The Fabelmans': "I Saw Him Cry Dozens of Times"
“The pandemic created an opportunity for streaming platforms to raise their subscriptions to record-breaking levels and also throw some of my best filmmaker friends under the bus as their movies were unceremoniously not given theatrical releases,” Spielberg told the publication. “They were paid off and the films were suddenly relegated to, in this case, HBO Max. The case I’m talking about.”
Spielberg said he attributes this moment to a shift in how studios plan their theatrical releases. “And then everything started to change,” he continued. “I think older audiences were relieved that they didn’t have to step on sticky popcorn.

He said that audiences who make the trek out to theaters today tend to feel that the trip was worthwhile if the film is of a certain caliber. He then put the onus on “the movies to be good enough to get all the audiences to say that to each other when the lights come back up.”topped $100 million at the domestic box office this year.
