[It\u2019s] the most ambitious thing I\u2019ll ever make; it seemed impossible. It was too good not to give it a shot. Six years later, we did it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here we are, we\u2019re all back in theaters. It\u2019s not your job to keep them open, it\u2019s our job to make things that make it worth you coming out.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cYou\u2019re about to go to another galaxy, make an alien best friend and save the stars. This movie is for you. Enjoy the trip!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, One Battle After Another star Leonardo DiCaprio recently expressed his fear for the future of cinema as a result of the rise in popularity of streaming services.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told the Sunday Times Culture magazine: \u201cIt\u2019s changing at a lightning speed.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe\u2019re looking at a huge transition. First, documentaries disappeared from cinemas. Now, dramas only get finite time and people wait to see it on streamers. I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cDo people still have the appetite? Or will cinemas become silos \u2014 like jazz bars?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHis One Battle After Another director Paul Thomas Anderson agreed: &#8220;It&#8217;s hand-to-hand combat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Once Upon a Time&#8230; In Hollywood actor is worried the rise to drive people away from cinemas and back into their own home will have a negative impact on &#8220;real visionaries&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cI just hope enough people, who are real visionaries, get opportunities to do unique things in the future that are seen in the cinema. But that remains to be seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAvatar director James Cameron has also voiced his fears for the future of cinema in response to the popularity of streaming at home.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told The Times newspaper: There\u2019s no way to talk about what audiences want without talking about the decline of cinema.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;The cinematic experience is being supplanted in our cultural discussion by streaming. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Covid gave cinema a big kick and people moved to a different way of taking in their storytelling. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And so when people go to a cinema they want something so far outside the norm that it\u2019s worth hiring a babysitter for. Avatar sits in that demographic and so I don\u2019t see it being diminished much, but I mourn box-office revenues. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We are coming out of a tragic year at the cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/ryan-gosling-audiences-save-cinema-1439790.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>26 March 2026 Ryan Gosling has insisted it is Hollywood&#8217;s &#8220;job&#8221; to keep cinemas afloat.
