Breitbart: Nolte: Spending on Streaming Services Plummets 23 Percent in a Single Year
By the end of 2024, U.S. spending on streaming services fell 23% to an average of $42.38 per month, despite many cutting expensive cable packages. This decline is attributed to "streaming fatigue," rising cable costs, and a growing preference for free content.
Consumers are increasingly opting for ad-supported streaming and cutting back on subscriptions, leading to a significant loss in revenue for Hollywood. With abundant free streaming options available, many are finding less value in paid services, resulting in fewer subscriptions overall.

Plans are underway to adapt the play into a film, to be shot on location along the River Somme in France. The creators aim to reach a wider audience through streaming in theaters and educational institutions, seeking investors to support this artistic endeavor.
Breitbart: Nolte: Domestic Movie Ticket Sales Have Collapsed 46 Percent Since 2004
In 2024, U.S. movie ticket sales plummeted to 817.9 million, a 34% drop from 2019 and a 46% decline since 2004. Hollywood attributes this decline to external factors like the pandemic and streaming services, rather than the quality of films being produced.
Successful films like "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie" indicate that audiences still desire engaging stories, while many current offerings fail to attract viewers. The decline in ticket sales reflects a broader dissatisfaction with Hollywood's product rather than a lack of interest in cinema itself.
