Why Sony Buying Alamo Drafthouse Might Be Really Bad News

- There’s something new coming to Alamo Drafthouse: Sony! The Sony Alamo deal marks a historic re-shift, with the Sony Alamo Drafthouse representing the first movie studio to outright own a theater chain in decades, after such things were banned by the Paramount Accords. Alamo Drafthouse is beloved by movie lovers, but with Sony Pictures in the mix, this could mean a radical overhaul for their business. Yes, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema are smaller players in their industries, but we’re breaking down what the “Sony Buys Alamo” headline really means for movies and how they could be made. As Sony steps into the movie theater business, the theater industry could shift to realign what kinds of movies get made. Financial news and goings-on in the latest movie industry news show a pattern; could big movie industry get even bigger and box smaller creatives out…again? This is not news that only movie industry distributors would care about, this movie industry news has a precedent and paired with other recent industry shake-ups, could be very very meaningful.

Kind of hypocritical of IGN to post something like this, when just a couple of months ago, they bought a whole bunch of gaming related websites and basically control the way gaming and entertainment news is distributed and consumed
And let the queen walk away from the bois
Hypocrites
You're all missing the point, Sony is much bigger than IGN, EA is much bigger than IGN, Microsoft is much bigger than IGN, and they're going to do more damage to movies and video games than IGN ever could. Calling IGN a hypocrite while major multibillion dollar corporations cut thousands of jobs and make the same repetitive crap for you to buy from them is missing the forest for the trees.
How dare you bring facts into this!!
@@MediCali951 Sydnee Goodman?
*NOT* IGN calling out another company for nefarious business tactics...
I'm super intrigued. What nefarious business practices has IGN done?
@@Irrevenant_ read up on Igns buy outs of smaller gaming news sites and understand why this video is super hypocritical

IGN irking about SONY ...yet IGN did the same to the Gaming Press , just to be gatekeepers of Information ...
So simply put...IGN got outbid by Sony, now their pouting, the hypocrisy is actually hilarious😂
Hope this doesn’t mess with my Alamo experience. Me and my wife love that place even got monthly season pass we got there at least 6 times a month lol
The video is trying to say there will be less movies, and the ones that come out will all be sequels, prequels, spin-offs and that's it, because movie companies will buy up the theaters and make more money doing less.
This is why we have monopoly laws to prevent such things and that's part of why United artist was originally formed
Headline: IGN buys giant bomb and kinda funny 😢
For those who don’t know it’s a wine and dine theater that also plays vintage movies
Can’t be as bad as how IGN is currently managed.
Something tells me the only reason this video was made was cause ign was trying to buy it out first and got outbid by Sony. “But the spirit of manipulation and control of the industry are still present” at ign.
IGN actually having an opinion for Sony? Im surprised.
Guess the check didnt drop this week
^When the content creator makes videos that finally validate your opinions.
Hilarious.
Everytime.
My immediate thought was 'Xbox slam piece?' Lol probably not but IGN is very opinionated and advertiser swayed
Have only watched the start tho and Im xbox pc only player
lol. Look at IGN … pot calling the kettle black.
Is ign really talking about manipulation and control.🤣🤣
Few but even bigger companies controlling more and more. Plus less creativity and risk taking in films and more sequels of fewer risky IP. All bad.
It's strange that they made Alamo Drafthouse seem like a failing theater chain. They've been profitable ever year since coming out of the pandemic. Nothing is going to change at the theater level experience for Alamo, that was a major part of the buy out. It's business as usual.
Why IGN Buying Multiple Gaming Media Outlets Might Be Really Bad News
7's for everyone!
more real journalism like this... plz nore more puff/fluff and guess what we thing is going to happen videos...
Great feature Kim.
Great video Kim.
Ign bad take how bad?
Booze has a 3 tier system to prevent this kinda thing.
sounds like some people got salty with the transaction
Ign.. why even cover this
Furiosa was at a whole new level compared to the movies mentioned here and yet not even 200 million.
Yea its very nice ign bought the gaming journalist business... oh wait they fired alot of the staff within the first week !
Meh. Invest in a sweet set up at home. No more theater dissatisfaction. Was tired of all the nonesne especially during c 19 and ppl around you no longer enhance movie experiences they ruin them. Had an excellent experience with " my dune" at home. Own drinks, snacks and bathroom
Lvl up.
The film inserts fall flat during her commentary.
Agreed 💯
Hey Kim, there is much recent example: India 👈
This take is absolutely horrendous.
“Why make 3 films at 50% of the profit when they can just make 1 tentpole at 100%?” is the same as asking “why write news about every new game on IGN when we can just write news for same game on all the sites we just bought now?”
And the answer is also the same - because, just like your content, it will be significantly more profitable to put 3 movies at 100% instead of 1 @ 100% or 3 @ 50%. Shareholders want growth, not stagnation.
They were like... the best Financial approach will be to make less movies...
😂🤣😂😅😂🤣😂
You missed the other half of the point: Disney will make Inside Out 3, 4 , 5, 6 and not take a chance on a new property if it means less profit. Why have three movies that combine to make 1.2 billion, getting you 600 million, when you can make the movie that grosses 1 billion, getting you 1 billion. You forget about the movie that made 200 million that was very well liked, and then you focus on the 1 billion dollar movie's sequel, prequel and spin-offs.
Great informative video. Kudos!
Just bring the real wings back and I’ll be there.
So what? The enormous, stadium-seating theaters with dozens of seats will show drab studio movies. Small, Indy theaters will pop up or still be supported to show the art house flicks. It’s Walmart versus your local grocer
there's less grocers out there than you think, and there's less independent movie theaters out there than you think.
Sony for president
The Columbia torch lady 2024! Lighting our way to a better USA😂
Ok IGN go off then lmao
You don't buy it.
Thr argument at around 4:00 assumes an entity like disney ends up owning AMC, Regal, Cinemark, and every other big theater chain in the world to earn that 100% box office return. That is something that will LITERALLY never happen.
Especially after seeing $AMC stock, theaters are fine on their own
Isn't that Kim from netmarble
Insert non-related clips into a RUclips video is the first sign of a lousy writer/editor. Please stop it.
sony is the best
Oh no.
Who?
Sony is awful at making movies.
Kim Horcher is the best
Wow.
-yawns- is just a cinema.
PLEASE SONY! Don’t buy Alamo! It’s the only thing that is actually wholesome and iconic about Texas
Bro, it's already owned by a private equity fund. It's been going downhill for years now because they loaded it up with debt.
Independent (1997-2018)
Altamont Capital Partners (2018-2021)
Fortress Investment Group (2021-2024)
Sony Pictures Experiences (2024-present)
It's gone through, buddy.
Is IGN finally starting to see that Sony is basically horrible? They haven't been hiding the fact that everything they do is for max profit, IGN just kept pushing how "wonderful" everything they used to do was. Glad to see you're seeing the light.
MEH!! If you dont like them buying the theatre go to another one.
The first part of the argument is just wrong, you say they take all the revenue, but leave out the fact they also take on all the cost. Which since movie theaters of today have very low profit, that's a pretty big part of the equation to miss.
