Influenced by it, the box office revenues of all traditional films currently in theaters had plummeted. If this trend continued, not only would these films likely face losses, but the entire traditional film industry could completely collapse in the future.
The owners of major film companies were like ants on a hot pan, racking their brains for ways to weather this crisis, yet achieving very little.
Some of them had previously tried underhanded tactics to prevent The Dark Knight from being released, but they had failed. Instead, they had generated enormous publicity for it, making the film popular before it had even premiered.
