Saturday, October 27, 2018 — “We regret to inform you that FilmStruck will be shutting down. Our last day of service will be November 29, 2018 …”
“We would like to thank our many fans and loyal customers who supported us. FilmStruck was truly a labor of love, and in a world with an abundance of entertainment options – THANK YOU for choosing us.”
“FilmStruck will cease operations on Nov. 29 after two years in operation, Turner and Warner Bros. Digital Networks announced Friday. The move comes amid a strategic shift to mainstream direct-to-consumer entertainment services by WarnerMedia, which is now owned by AT&T. … [AT&T … BOO!! … HISS!!]
“The service hosted hundreds of classic, arthouse, indie and foreign films — many of them exclusively, including titles from the Criterion Collection catalog.
“Jenkins, Oscar-winning director of “Moonlight,” initially tweeted a one-word, all-caps reaction to FilmStruck’s imminent closure: “F—.”
“He followed with a more thoughtful post, saying about the FilmStruck team, “these were flesh and blood people who really, truly cared about the work they were doing and the people who made and appreciated film.””
“Del Toro, who won Oscars for “The Shape of Water” and “Pan’s Labyrinth,” sounded a more upbeat note: “We will find a way to bring it back- We will!”, he tweeted.
“We will find a way to bring it back- We will! https://t.co/IiU243Kolb
