Hollywood’s New Streaming Device Counts Viewers & Charges Per Ticket

With the buzzed about announcement yesterday from Deadline.comthat this December Hollywood is launching the new streaming device and app called Venue which enables the ability to monitor a living room for people and sell individual tickets to view at home first-run cinematic releases, sporting events, concerts and more, we would love to schedule an interview with you and CEO Cihan Fuat Atkin of XCineX to share the Hollywood, technological & business journey behind launching the first of its kind streaming platform. 

The streaming device is called Venue, and it is like no other product on the market because it holds a detection sensor that counts the number of audience members present in the room, thereby giving content creators the ability to sell tickets on a pay-per-viewer basis. The sensor monitors the room throughout content stream and ensures the ticket-to-audience ratio is equal, giving content creators the ability to charge each viewer just like a movie theater, concert, or sporting venue. With a veteran Hollywood, technology, and media leadership team in place, this patented new breakthrough advancement in reaching consumers is a boom to the studio, concert, and live event marketplaces that will benefit from the at-home ticketing technology. In development for years before the COVID-19 pandemic, it has never been more imperative to bring the world’s most innovative technology directly into your home.

Usher Calling For Juneteenth To Become A National Holiday

Award-winning R&B/Pop singer Usher is calling for the United States government to formally acknowledge Juneteeth. He wrote an op-ed article for the Washington Post under the headline: “Why it’s so important that Juneteenth become a national holiday.

“We could observe it, as many black Americans already do, by celebrating both our first step toward freedom as black people in America and also the many contributions to this land: the construction of Black Wall Street; the invention of jazz, rock n’ roll, hip-hop and R&B; and all the entrepreneurship and business brilliance, extraordinary cuisine, sports excellence, political power and global cultural influence black Americans have given the world,” wrote Usher.

“And rather than observing Juneteenth as we do other holidays, by taking it off, we can make it a day when black culture, black entrepreneurship, and black business get our support. A national Juneteenth observance can affirm that Black Lives Matter!”
