Perché i dazi sui film che vuole Trump non sono quello che serve a Hollywood

1 week ago | wired.it | Angela Watercutter |Adama Faye

Da industria che produce film e serie tv – e quindi servizi invece che prodotti – è possibile che Hollywood fosse convinta di essere al sicuro dai dazi del presidente statunitense Donald Trump. Anzi, mentre nell'ultimo mese i mercati azionari registravano forti cali, le piattaforme di streaming come Netflix sono sembrate una buon titolo su cui puntare per gli investitori.

2013年、包括的な姿勢で知られるフランシスコが、ローマ教皇となった。その期待感は「フランシスコ効果」と呼ばれた。カトリック教会では、信仰が活性化して人々が再び教会の席に戻ってくるだろうという感覚が広がった。しかし、4月21日に88歳でフランシスコ教皇が死去したことにより、別の「効果」が生まれた。エドワード・ベルガー監督のアカデミー賞受賞作『教皇選挙』を観る人が急増したのだ。この映画は、バチカンで教会の指導者たちが「鍵をかけられた部屋」──つまりシスティーナ礼拝堂──に集まり、次の教皇を選ぶ「コンクラーベ」と呼ばれる教皇選挙のプロセスを描いている。分析会社であるLuminateのデータによると、教皇の死後、米国における『教皇選挙』のストリーミング視聴時間は、4月20日の180万分から21日には690万分に跳ね上がり、283％の増加となった（編註：日本では現在、映画館で上映中）。Netflixの『2人のローマ教皇』も同期間の視聴時間が417％増加し、29万分から150万分へと大きく伸びた。現実の出来事と重なる映画...

'Conclave' Viewership Shot Up 283 Percent Following Pope Francis’ Death

3 weeks ago | wired.com | Angela Watercutter

In the Roman Catholic Church, it was called the “Francis effect,” a feeling that the arrival of the more inclusive Pope Francis in 2013 would invigorate the faith and get people back in the pews. On Monday, Francis’ passing at the age of 88 led to an effect of a different kind: a surge in viewership for Conclave, director Edward Berger’s Oscar-winning film about what happens in the Vatican when church leaders are locked in a room—or, well, the Sistine Chapel—to decide who will be the next pope.
