Is this a continuation of this post?

 

Reports of physical media's death have been greatly exaggerated.

 

TMZ is reporting the death as a suicide.

He was married to actress Aubrey Plaza.

As stated in previous threads, there are lots of reasons why DVDs are still popular today:

  • Unawareness of, or indifference to, DVDs' subpar video/audio quality.
  • For most people, DVDs "just work".
  • Studios and manufacturers did a poor job of educating the public about the different formats.
  • Streaming/digital is too convenient for the public to consider physical media.
  • People are unable/unwilling to upgrade their tech.
  • DVDs are cheaper and more ubiquitous than Blu-rays and 4K UHD discs.

What you're describing is called a "mid-budget movie", and you're right that there doesn't seem to be much of them nowadays.

Yes, The Wild Robot is technically an IP owned by the author Peter Brown.

But that's not gonna make people take a chance on it, especially when movie tickets are so expensive

This is why original movies do better on streaming, where there is a low barrier for entry. Because if you don't like it, at least it cost you nothing, and you can stop watching aat any time.
