  1. Especially if they’re walking around thinking all of the current top content is too woke. Unless you don’t mind releasing 30 films that _aren’t very good_.

  2. 52 weeks in a year. 30 films all competing for screen time and viewer engagement. What’s the opposite of tent pole films?

    The Elon Musk of Hollywood (let’s see how long he lasts when the AI bubble pops and his daddy loses money) 

  4. It’s probably not unrealistic given the infrastructure they’re buying. Paramount and Warner Brothers infrastructure can each put out 15 movies and there’s the 30 right there. Paramount as it is now would struggle though, obviously. WB is major though, they could prob put out 5 movies a year just based on DC stuff.

    Good luck with that. Even when the film industry was at its zenith – during the 1930s/1940s – MGM’s original goal of a full length feature film EVERY week was too far fetched.

  6. And I want the stupid piggy to shut his fucking slophole.

    But we can’t get everything we want in life

  7. All movies have to be approved by the Saudi government. Definitely going slow down the the 30 movies annually

  8. A delusional rich boy who doesn’t understand reality because he’s lived in an artificial bubble his whole life.

  9. It’s doable on a large scale. So long as you have enough people and money. Whether Paramount can do it… I doubt.

  10. Even if it’s 30 children film an audience that consumes consumes consumes….. they would eventually cannibalize each other.

    The 90s had more movies than today…. Because of indie films and import markets. And even then it was 25 million weekend was a successful weekend.

    He can release as many as he wants- he still needs an audience.
    I won’t be in it.

    The old, tried and true, quantity over quality methods. Nothing beats inundating any market with slop.

    Will those also be financed 49.5% by foreign companies? 
    Does that 49.5% buy them approval of what can be said and done in the movies?

    By the way… worth pointing out that nothing has been stopping him from doing that with Paramount alone.
