The only real advantages Hollywood had for labor was experience and know how. The more production shifts, the more the know how advantage declines and the lower wages go systemwide. There was a time when the competitive moat for Hollywood workers was so vast that pay was dramatically higher than the skillset really merited on a competitive basis. There is no going back.

Honestly, California has done it to themselves. If there is something you want to do, there is the State wagging its finger saying NO. It aint coming back either.

Hollywood needs to be rebuilt under new leadership. Rumour has it Detroit is the place to go, especially racialized artists. Why send off the Midwest talent so far? We have everything we need here.

So, they’re saying that filming on location is a bad thing? Post production still happens in Hollywood for the most part.

Fuck em, they all knew what Weinstein was doing and were ok with it because the money kept flowing.

What a headline. The same can be said about many other industries. Sign of the (bad) times.

The movie industry didn’t even BEGIN in Hollywood, it began in New Jersey; and the whole reason filmmakers moved to Los Angeles was because it was cheaper. If this author had been around in the 1920s they would have been writing about how „the box office makes it clear: [Fort Lee, New Jersey](https://www.domestika.org/en/blog/6410-before-hollywood-there-was-fort-lee) is in a death spiral“.

Hollywood dying is NOT a bad thing. I feel bad for people who are struggling to find work, but the US losing their propaganda machine? Yeah. That’s… dope.

The dissolution of Hollywood is happening right before our eyes. And it’s about damn time

Is anyone really surprised? Just another slice of America that capitalism and politics has ruined. Not wanting to pay proper wages, bastardized remakes of classics instead of original stories, superhero death spiral, nepotism, and disgusting billionaires buying out entire segments of the industry that they publicly admit is for political control because the competitors are „too woke“.

Hollywood is dying, the theater business is dying, movies though are going to keep trucking along

I feel like this type of article can be written in different iterations every single year, but honestly there is something different about movies and Hollywood in general in the last couple years. It feels like it’s demise actually be real.
