> Maybe it'll force Hollywood to pay actors far far less. Harrison Ford was paid somewhere between 10 and 25 million

Probably a bad example, because the studio's investment in Harrison Ford in SW:TFA will surely be repaid many times over, and isn't really threatened by netflix.

Of course it will, because of really high ticket prices and they're providing a product that many people want. If ticket prices were lower though, Ford wouldn't be able to ask for that kind of money. Not many films can generate this kind of demand though, yet we're all stuck with high ticket prices for lower quality films.
