Leonardo DiCaprio has expressed his concerns that cinema-going is steadily falling out of favour, with audiences increasingly choosing to watch films on streaming platforms instead. Speaking to The Sunday Times about the shifting landscape of movies, he said: 'It’s changing at a lightning speed. And Leo and Paul are among those concerned, with the There Will Be Blood director describing the drive to bring audiences to streaming platforms instead of cinemas as 'hand-to-hand combat'. 'But I think box office is important because it means people are in the seats going to theatre, going to have that communal experience.' Leonardo referenced recent AI clips of famous late stars doing covers of popular songs as he admitted that they are 'cool' to watch once.
