Twilight 2: New Moon could become the most successful blockbuster in movie history. Despite the movie has made more than 2,000 million US dollars over the week, many still believe movie industry is for sure to fade out from people’s entertainment life. Personally, I found it hard to side with the pessimists.
Undoubtedly, the magic of silver screen is no longer that fascinating as before. One major reason to draw people away from cinema is the evolution of home entertainment. Since technology can almost recreate similar audio-visual experience right in your living room, many have turned to their couch and popcorn. There could not be a better example than the booming of video stores worldwide. They sprung up everywhere around residential areas and had won many people’s favor.
Though cinema might be facing crucial challenge by other forms of entertainment, it is too reckless to spell its end. The silver screen still attracts people as a unique experience. Going to cinema is more a form of social activities, therefore, many people still prefer such opportunities, not only to see a brilliant movie, but have a good time with families or friends as well. Many major Cineplex have already launched diverse family coupons as a marketing gesture. This can show how cinema can adopt and adapt in this changing environment.
Cinemas also consolidate its status by always providing the latest movie. With most producing companies tend to release DVD a while after the movie, hence, for many movie fanatic, cinema is always their first choice. The Twilight 2 movie can make such a killing is just the perfect way to show the advantages of cinema over DVD.
In conclusion, I agree cinemas are facing extreme competition in modern time. However, I do not think it would be bleached away in people’s life. Being aware of the challenge, cinemas can also surprise us with new elements.
