I'm not against it at all nor am I one of the folks rooting for movie theaters to die because I love going to the theater but this is definitely something worth taking notice of and it'll be interesting to see how theaters combat it. This isn't some bum making movies with netflix, this is a guy who for the bulk of his career has been a bonafide movie star. This is another step towards them becoming a movie studio and overall production company
