An experienced film and television producer and director, Dean Zanetos of Los Angeles, California, boasts a diverse filmography, including The Robert Guillaume Show, Misfits of Science, Voyagers!, and Nightside. Since 2020, Dean Zanetos has been the founder and chief executive officer of MobilFlix, a company specializing in premium streaming services for mobile devices via a patented technology for no-glasses natural 3D viewing. The emergence of streaming services technology in the late 1990s has divided Hollywood, and the battle between the studios and online streaming services providers continues.
A 2020 study by an international group of academics from the UK, Canada, and Switzerland, explores the possible outcomes of this battle. It argues that studios base their business model on commitment logic while the streaming services providers on convenience. The first relies on customers opting for viewing films on the big screen upon their theatrical release, while the latter lures subscribers by offering them multiple films viewable on any device practically anytime anywhere.
The academics suggest four possible outcomes of this rivalry. In the first scenario, the two coexist, but studios’ commitment wins over streaming convenience. In the second scenario, the two blend into committed convenience, and the studios employ the data analytics utilized by streaming services providers. The third scenario involves the coexistence of the two approaches, but the streaming convenience takes precedence over studios’ commitment. The final fourth scenario sees both challenged and replaced by a new, radically different player.
Due to the fast-paced technological changes and potential national antitrust regulatory interventions, the authors remain tentative on committing to any of the four scenarios.
