For the past year, people out here been moving like movie theaters don't matter.

And even though I shytted on Wonder Woman, I kinda feel bad, they put all that effort into a product and basically gave it away by giving up on the traditional 3700 - 4000 screen release.


Studios have basically had a monopoly on how content gets delivered by way of movie theaters. Part of the experience is sharing audience reaction, and the size/sound of the picture. But that appears to be overrated to many, and people went, not because they wanted to but because they had to.

The movie industry has been RAPING people for years.

Nobody feels bad for them right now, especially when you can watch new releases on your couch in your pajamas.

HBO/Max got some good stuff droppin this Spring.

Movie theaters aren't open where I live, it's not like I have a choice

 

[Cheech&Chong]

It's sad. Not sure if a lot of them will be back.

I honestly rarely watched movies in the theater even before Covid. When I was a teenager it was the thing to do but in my 20s I probably only saw 2-3 theater movies a year and after that maybe not even 1 a year.

Still, there are occasional event movies that make the theater worth it. I'm going to be pissed off if I don't get the chance to see Dune on the big screen.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

I go see every superhero movie on the big screen and big releases too. I like the movie experience

It's great for dates with your woman, nice wholesome fun if you got children and its enjoyable to me.

I was going to the movies probably once or even twice a month when there was something good out.

Same. When they open back up I'll go back, I ain't bougie like some other nikkas.

Home theater don't hit the same.

It'll definitely be back. That's not an experience that is recreated at home. It's just not.

The question is when and which companies.

 

[Lootpack]

75' TV and still miss the fukk out of a movie theater.

Usually whenever you miss something that is gone, you tend to think about only the good things. I'm thinking of the bad things too when it came to theaters and still would take the experience over home.

That's my overpriced popcorn and drinks

nikkas lighting up the theater cause they wanna surf the phone with max brightness

Sacrificing my bladder to catch that one important scene.

Def gonna appreciate the little things even more once things get going again. I miss walking into a packed theater before an MCU joint.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

I miss watching the previews

And normally, If I didn't go see it in theaters, I wouldn't see the actually movie until a year later, if ever.

I still haven't seen Tenet, even though I would've been there opening weekend.

 

[King Theo]

If studios adopt the direct streaming model, the price of services like Netflix will go up most definitely. A movie studios will charge other platforms more for the movies, and those price increases will be passed along to, guess who?

I can also see steaming services come up with contracts. So if you want netflix, you have to be locked into a 2 year contract.

Contrary to popular belief, the streaming industry, theater industry and movie studios balance each other out. Studios value box office revenue, and are willing to spend more to make a quality product. After theaters have their time with the movie, studios can then loan them to streaming platforms for a low price, which enable platforms like Hulu to charge low rates. to consumers.
