I wonder how this will affect the large cinema production companies (Disney, WB, Universal, Sony, Paramount, 20th century...). The global film market share was estimated to be 100B in 2023. If the production cost of high FX movies like Avengers Infinity War goes down from 300M$ to just 10K$ in a couple of years, will companies like Disney restrain themselves to just release a few epic movies per year? Or will we be flooded with tons of slop? If this kind of AI content keeps getting better, how will movies sustain our attention and feel 'special'? Will people not care if an actor is AI or real?
