"You see more and more people just settling for the habit of watching things as it comes to them on their streaming service,"
"I'm concerned that cinema may cease to exist ... and I don't want that to happen. I want to continue to make the films that I like to see on the big screen."
"We need to honor the nation that has more cinephiles per capita than any other country in the world; The thing that I love about France is that in this country, it is a moral obligation to support the arts,"
Growing audience habit of watching content on streaming services is reducing theater attendance and jeopardizing the existence of cinema as a communal, big‑screen experience. There is concern that distribution changes and industry consolidation will accelerate this shift away from theatrical releases. The cultural value of theater‑going is celebrated, with Paris and France noted for having high per‑capita cinephile engagement and a civic commitment to supporting the arts. Preserving cinemas requires continuing to create and release films that are designed to be experienced on the big screen. Maintaining theatrical exhibition is framed as a moral and cultural imperative to preserve shared cinematic experiences and support the arts.
