Would that happen again, do you think?

It certainly is a business strategy.

In other words, if you have a movie...

that you've made and you don't think it's any good, what are you going to do now?

Marketing is very expensive.

Marketing tends to be a significant percentage of the overall cost of the movie.

So by shelving the movie, you save the marketing costs.

And if you don't think you're going to make any money, then a tax write-off might be the right thing to do.

In principle, not necessarily.

In practice, they might decide to have fewer movies at every point in time.

so that there's no competition, so their own movies will not be competing with each other, so that basically you might, at every point in time, you might have fewer movies.

On the other hand, studios are now also trying to strategically time their releases so that they're not competing with some big movie from another studio.

So I don't think it's clear yet.

I think what happens is if you're as a movie maker, have fewer places to go,

then you will have to cater to the studio that you're going to.

Let's assume that they all consolidate to one big studio.

So if the studio chief doesn't like what you're offering, you're on your own.

If there are five studios, you can go and make competing offers to other studios.

Are there any movies coming out soon that you really want to see?

I would really like to see of the movies that are playing now and I haven't seen yet.
