The big-screen brawl that could reshape the movies
大银幕的斗法或重塑电影业

背景：北美影院受疫情影响，自3月中旬开始歇业，许多电影不得不寻求网播发片。线上首播虽然是不得已之举，却出乎意料交出了优秀的成绩单。在后疫情时代，网播平台势必会以更迅速有力的势头打破传统的电影市场格局。以环`球影业为例，其《魔发精灵2》的成绩超出预期，追平了首部《魔发精灵》北美票房的分账收入，证明了付费点播的市场基础已经颇具规模。鉴于此，NBC环`球的首席执行官杰夫·希尔表示，即使影院重新开张，也会通过线上视频发布电影。针对这一言论，北美最·大影院连锁公司AMC强硬表示将封杀环`球影业的电影，AMC首席执行官兼总裁亚当·艾伦在给环`球影业董事长唐娜·兰利的公开信中表示，AMC将不再在美国、欧洲或中东的任何影院播放环`球影业的电影。AMC的怒怼是困兽之斗，还是有力反击，还需待时分晓。
