Sunset studios have a 90acre plot near me . All cleared and ready to go.. they even secured some additional land across the river and now it's all on hold .

Was massive investment and opportunity.

All the signage has been removed.. all seems to be in limbo

There website says bugger all about it though

It’s been completely put on hold. ISG first priced it a few year back and were subsequently given the PCSA. Fast forward to present day and the rocketing price of materials has knackered everything

The streaming thing feels on the verge of busting. The big three won't go on covering losses forever and it remains to be seen how long the public will go on subscribing to multiple services as price start to creep up. I think they all got excited around COVID when numbers must have hit all time highs as people were stuck indoors. Now the world seems to be getting back to some normality and with the rise of tick tock YouTube and the like you wonder what future holds for the whole industry.

I'm not hopeful on in.. someone will probably just put a distribution centre on the plot.

They won't disappear. There may well be a correction and reduction in providers but the technology is here to stay.

Ah yeah without a doubt it's completely the future just mean the limitless investment in programming feels like that has to bust at some point.

Typical of boom and bust that we seem to have plenty of these days. A year ago I was reading articles saying there isn't enough studio space.

But, were headed for a big crash in the economy sooner rather than later so the people with money are probably holding on for now.

I do think the likes of Disney for just that - hoping a few competitors run out of cash and they can mop up some of the market share when they do.

I’m noticing loads of offers at the minute. I tend to watch what I want on the streaming services then cancel for 6 months and repeat. Recently had a £2.99 a month offer from Disney and a £1 a month offer for Sky Movies on NowTV. Appears they are getting a bit desperate.

Isn’t this largely to do with the writers strike meaning that productions have stopped as a consequence?

There does seem to be a lot of these things being considered across the country at the moment.
