The improved AI version of “The Wizard of Oz” in the sphere could draw $ 1 billion

The largest blockbuster of summer released 86 years ago. While some people are relucting the idea of ​​paying $ 12 to take a film that will be on streaming platforms a month later, apparently thousands of people flock to the sphere in Las Vegas and drop about $ 200 per ticket to watch Oz assistantAccording to a Bloomberg report. The film would have increased by around $ 2 million a day from its shows on a single (very large) screen.

Quoting information from Wolfe Research, Bloomberg says that the new AI-Slop filled Oz assistant could degrade more than $ 500 million by the end of the year, and up to $ 1 billion before the end of the race. The version of the film showing the site has been adapted to adapt to the 160,000 square feet screen and to use the unique environment of the sphere.

Sphere Entertainment, Owned by New York Billionaire and Naded Self-Appointed Blues Musician James Dolan, Spent $ 100 million On Making the Film Fit the Venue After Securing The Rights to Show It From Warner Bros. That include using ai to upscale the resolution of the movie and artificially create extra scenery to make it fit on the coming ‘, and going full “4d” to have artificial winds blow in the faces of the audience when the tornado shot.

Dolan would also have reduced the film to 70 minutes, according to a review of Los Angeles Times, to tighten more shows, which, oof. Nothing better sums up the technological mentality to reduce something which is a real spectacle in order to strengthen the flashing in favor of the substance and to maximize the profits. But hey, people seem to enjoy it.

Over 90% of the film was “tackled” with AI to create this new version of the film. Personally, I find that it is shameful. pic.twitter.com/l1kczhwsc3

Oz assistant It will probably not be the last film to obtain the treatment of the sphere. Dolan does his shopping for other films to launch the massive screen and is interested Harry Potter And Star Wars Films, among others, by Bloomberg. It will be interesting to see if Dolan manages to get the same case on these films as for Oz assistantBecause he only had to pay license fees in Warner Bros. To show it and pocket the benefits of each program. Now that the studios know what the films do when they are shown in the sphere, they could be interested in a cup.

While Dolan tries to lock more rights, the sphere already has some other projections joining the mix. He showed Postcard of the earthA documentary by Darren Aronofsky, and an extreme sports documentary called On the edge will join the marquee next year. If Dolan’s Knicks continues to pay the luxury tax, you can thank the sphere.
