Live-streamed Talent Q&As Boost Films

Film distributors are goosing up box office with live question-and-answers with talent before screenings, which get amplified with live video streams, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

“Jojo Rabbit,” “The Lighthouse,” “Parasite” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” are among films with such Q&A and panel discussion initiatives with the theatrical release window.

“While these in-theater appearances are not new, in the past they were largely considered part of a film’s awards campaign, designed to woo guild and Academy voters in L.A. and New York,” says a Hollywood Reporter story by Pam McClintock. “Now they are seen by distributors with limited marketing resources as a way to connect with consumers and gin up revenue.” The live nature makes such Q&A stunts seem important.
