Saturday Mornings: Cinema in 2026: Revival, Reinvention… or Final Credits? Colin Goh Breaks It Down

The Wide World segment on the Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Colin Goh,writer‑director of Singapore Dreaming and Talking Cock the Movie, for a sharp, funny, and deeply informed look at the state of cinema in 2026. After a sluggish 2025 box office, many are asking: is this the end of the big‑screen era, or the beginning of a creative revival? Colin dives into the pressures facing cinema chains worldwide—including Singapore—and what they must do to survive. We explore whether the “above‑the‑title movie star” is truly dead, why George Clooney might be right, and how the Warner Bros. takeover could reshape the industry. We also examine whether streaming platforms have plateaued, if YouTube is the real future of entertainment, and what all this means for Singapore’s own filmmaking ecosystem. And of course, Colin gives his bold predictions: the films to watch, the ones likely to flop, and whether Star Wars and Marvel can pull off their make‑or‑break 2026 releases. He also reveals his one must‑see movie of the year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
