Unconventional Wisdom:
Many factors contribute to people going to the theater less often. The ongoing covid-19 pandemic, shrinking home release windows, rising ticket prices and more. Many would bet that these trends would continue and theater attendance would decline, but I say the opposite. This his 2023 slate is impressive. There are so many famous movies that even grandparents have heard about that they could help revive the entire industry.

Companies to watch:

- netflix – Again, no surprises here. The world’s biggest streamer is sure to bring plenty of surprises and point fingers at the pulse of the streaming industry.
- paramount pictures – A few years ago, the legendary Paramount movie downswing. No blockbusters, no franchises, nothing. But thanks in part to meticulous planning and his top-grossing movie of 2022, things are starting to change. Top Gun Maverick. 2023 will see them really back in the game with some of the biggest and most anticipated movies of the year.
Longshot bet:
While the top 10 highest-grossing movies are all franchise films, 2023 could be the year the streaming service finally takes over and wins Best Picture at the Oscars. (This will happen in 2024, but for movies in 2023.) Also, the highest-grossing movies of the year aren’t from Marvel or DC.
