- Producing a hit TV series like The Bear was once a path to serious riches for its cast and creators. But in another massive entertainment shift, developing groundbreaking shows is worth hundreds of millions less than it used to be.

Just cos Forbes can’t shoot something that’s going to trend, doesn’t mean that streaming services ain’t gonna bring no revenue in
What did the people who went on strike like the SAG/AFTRA, THE WRITERS AND THE ACTORS AND SUPPORT STAFF. Look the strike when all is said and done cost the major studios 1 billion dollars for a 4 year contract, The strike people say the studios have the money and need to pay up. But what the strike people have failed to understand just like the UAW and other similar strikes is these companies have stock holders and they always get paid 1st. so that 1 Billion dollars is coming out of all the productions
I just don't understand where all the money goes. How is everyone making less than back in the day?? Someone has to be making more, right?
I think it's ultimately the consumer that has benefitted the most under the new system. When cable was dominate, the average tv consumer was paying substantially more per month to cable companies (and thus indirectly to tv networks like NBC etc.) & the content provided contained ads which generated additional revenue. Until recently, streaming has been a fraction of the cost of cable and ad-free, so much less money has been transferred from consumers to the streaming services and the shows they fund.
Short answer there is less money coming in and costs are higher.
Banks and social media are the main ones making more.
The advertising spend has moved away from television toward social media so there is less revenue in the pot.
Steaming also hurt physical media sales and rentals which further lowered revenue
During the streaming wars everything was financed. No one was running a profit. Consumers benefitted initially but it's the banks who ultimately won.
The shows are also _much_ more expensive to make because the quality is much higher. (There's also more oversight which costs more.)
And fewer episodes also make shows comparatively more expensive. The Friends sets could be built once in 1994 and re-used for 200 episodes. (And shows use way more location shooting now and use more locations.) Plus add in CGI for a lot of shows which costs a ton.
I tried getting through the first episode….. I didn’t get the hype… maybe there’s something i missed…
The Bear is probably closer to Arrested Development than Friends or Seinfeld or Big Bang Theory
Its not like prestige TV shows like Mad Men, The Wire and The Sopranos were financial juggernauts so the premise that the Bear _should_ make a lot is pretty disingenuous
It's a very niche show with only 5.4 million watching the S3 premiere. And that's a _good_ number. The most people who gave every watcged *anything* on Hulu.
Big Bang Theory was _averaging_ FOUR times that
I love Hulu and Disney+
Love that “bearish” is now common slang 😂
bear and bull market?
Season 3 is a huge disappointment. Seemed like every episode was a redux for each character. Only the last episode was worth watching. Season 4 better get back to building on the story arc of The Bear.

I don't watch tv. Going on 10 yrs.
Hulu sucks

TV is a vast Woke wasteland of wasted potential.

@@mrevilren6507he's right take for example the Boys or the latest Star Wars Acolyte. Bunch of wokeness trying to be forced on you
@@dave_mate4244 pls explain the me the wokeness that’s in the acolyte 😒😒 lemme guess because the main characters aren’t white so therefore it’s woke lol
@@mrevilren6507 I'm not even white myself what are you blabbering about. Always using made up racism.
Because DEI sucks
No, it’s because streaming doesn’t have ads so they can’t really be residuals as they used to be
Caveman comment
@@mrevilren6507look at the sales from Disney their horrible even South Park made fun of them it’s about money and DEI loses that every time
@@mrevilren6507 sales are terrible you like losing money
@@crooked52h Disney “inside out 2” just did a billion in less than a month. I thought y’all said Disney is collapsing 😂😂
The future of television is dead. People are streaming they don’t need cable and the actors and actresses that all involved in politics that people just don’t like it, and then the writers went on strike. That’s the answer why Hollywood is dead.
Where do you think streamed programming is coming from? TV is just reinventing itself for the new technology, we don't have a "cable box," and I don't know anyone who does. The remote is just an apparatus to navigate all sources of streaming, movies and some live TV like sports and news etc.
You do realise Hollywood still makes movies right? And these movies appear, not only in cinemas but direct to streaming. Georgia has taken over a large part of production for American cinema/series too.
