Theaters are done: Amazon launches Prime Video Cinema

[FLATOP]

Amazon Launched Prime Video Cinema, watch in-theatre movies at home - The Paged

Watch in-theater movies at home for $19.99 (rental). Sure the library is limited right now to current films blocked by coronavirus, but ones with upcoming releases will likely start popping up too as time goes by.


Theater Owners Chief to Congress: Pass Coronavirus Rescue Bill or We Go Bankrupt

“Overnight, we went from an industry that makes $15 billion a year — $11 billion in ticket sales and $4 billion in concessions — to one that is not going to make a penny for three or four months,” he added.

Theaters don't have enough cash reserves to survive this closure period and are looking to Congress to bail them out

19.99 for one person is insane. It only benefits couples and families.

 

[Lootpack]

Theaters will be aight.

 

[Rain]

Am I missing something? They're just offering the same movies that all the other VOD services are.

 

[Brandeezy]

No one is gonna be paying 19.99 when for a movie when they got bills to pay and they aren't working because of the virus.

 

[JerseyBoy23]

People still gonna want to see flicks with special effects and action flicks on thee big screen. But yeah comedy and dramas are probably done.

 

[FlyRy]

Just a BS term. Vudu is calling theirs something similar. But all the digital providers have the movies that hit the services. So it's no different

19.99 for one person is insane. It only benefits couples and families.

Really just families. A couple can go to the theater on a Tuesday or a weekend morning and pay less than $20.

Waits for good quality rips

a lot of industries aren’t going to come back

 

[phillycavsfan]

It really only works for couples and families, but if this becomes the norm post-quarantine there are still some movies that I'm really only trying to watch in a theater. Anyone who saw Get Out or Mad Max Fury Road can attest to this.

 

[Animal House]

This just means the torrents drop faster

 

[Da Jungles]

I'd pay $20 a month

 

[The God Poster]

$20.

Either wait until a stream drop (personally I never would pirate as it's against the law)

Or go on a Tuesday . Even If you go the weekend two people you looking not much more than 20 plus the theatre experience over sitting in ya crib imo.

 

[Bathing Ape]

I’d still hit a theater

 

[Cladyclad]

Would be perfect for small get togethers. Around 10 people. I dig it
