Editor’s Notes: There are good reasons for theatrical releases. Okay, actually 1 reason. Money! And not in the greedy capitalist way either.
The cost to develop the episodes, pay for artists, pay to run the business of JnJ, which has gone way up, and for those who do not follow YT and content creators, the money being made from YT has almost been halved over the past two years. Creators are being paid much less!
No one is making as much just putting episodes up, and doing it without backers or sponsors, there is no way for JnJ to make enough money to continue making so much content.
Releasing the newer episodes, in theaters, especially TPOT, is just very smart business, and the money goes back to a good company that returns your investment in paying $28 bucks by being able to financially keep making more episodes.
Keep going to theaters and supporting them!
We will keep writing about BFDI as our way to support them, along with paying to see the newest episodes in theaters. It is the least we can do for a show we have enjoyed, pretty much for free, for many years.
