Hollywood's Theatrical Business At Risk Of Entering "Negative Feedback Loop", Wall Street Analyst Warns

The article discusses concerns raised by Wall Street analyst Eric Handler from Roth MKM about the future of Hollywood's theatrical business.

This situation is compounded by the shift towards streaming services, which has already reduced the number of theatrical releases.

Handler suggests that this cycle could be detrimental to the traditional movie theater model, potentially pushing more content directly to streaming platforms.
