Legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld has expressed his pessimism about the future of the movie industry, stating that the era of everyone flocking to movie theaters has come to an end. Seinfeld believes that the movie business has become ‘disoriented’ and lost its former cultural significance due to the overabundance of content available in today’s digital landscape.
The upcoming movie ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’ is facing difficulties in securing distributors for a nationwide release. Despite being scheduled for release on June 28, 2024, the film is reportedly struggling to find interest from major distributors. Sources indicate that the uncertain state of the movie business has exhibitors and distributors playing it safe, leading to a possible limited release or streaming availability.
In a recent interview, Jerry Seinfeld shared his views on the current state of the film business. He expressed a sense of confusion and disorientation among industry professionals, questioning the relevance and purpose of the film medium in the face of rapidly evolving viewing habits.
Seinfeld emphasized that the traditional dominance of film has waned, with audiences now overwhelmed by a flood of content options. He also spoke about his experience directing his first film, highlighting the meticulous and serious approach of the crew, which he contrasted with his own perception of the industry’s uncertain future.
