He told the outlet that “the movie industry is just changing so much.”

Channing continued, “It’s a different era now and it’s just getting crazier with the streamers. I do fear a little for the storytelling of it all. I think there will be less good storytelling and a lot more product out there.”

Looking back on Magic Mike XXL, Channing revealed that more money was spent on advertising than actually making the movie.

“We made Magic Mike 2 for $12 million dollars and they spent $60-$70 million dollars to sell it. So, we’re spending exponentially more money to sell a movie than actually make the thing for you. That should be the other way around,” he says.

Channing went on, “We could be spending the money on the thing that the viewer is actually going to get to see and now it’s just who can create the most noise to break through the cataclysmic wave of content coming out every single day.”

Just recently, filmmaker Quentin Tarantino opened up about his distaste for straight to streaming movies.
