Akin Gump entertainment partner Alissa Miller was quoted by The Wrap in “Why Hollywood’s Merger Mania Will Leave a Host of Theater Chains and Entertainment Companies in the Dust.” Miller was one of the panelists at the publication’s annual media and technology conference in Beverly Hills discussing the future of entertainment.
To underscore her argument, at one point during the conference, the article reports, Miller asked members of the audience to raise their hands if they subscribe to Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. Nearly everyone raised a hand.
“We’re living in a digital world,” Miller said. “People of my generation and below don’t have much of an interest in going to theaters.”
