Changing the movie release model.

[toef]

Someone had an idea, and I don't know where I heard it (maybe an older episode of The Business), but the idea was that maybe people who make movies need to adopt some sort of model from musicians. Sure you make a movie that people can go buy and watch, but they still like the idea of seeing the people who made what they're enjoying.

So the same way people go see a band play live, even though they could listen to the CD at home, maybe directors or writers could travel around to theaters for events, to talk about the movies before/after screening it.

But even then, I don't know who that really appeals to, other than people who probably care enough about movies that they go see movies multiple times in theaters already.
