Theaters are done: Amazon launches Prime Video Cinema

[Cladyclad]

and not spend

If it wasn’t my mom and nephews birthday my wallet would have shut

only thing I’ve bought since this crisis is food gas and a bus pass

no clothes, shoes, take out etc

In Detroit bus rides are free

Waits for good quality rips

a lot of industries aren’t going to come back

This is the key

I'm confused why everyone is complaining about the $19.99 for a rental of new releases?

How much are movie tickets in your city?
Out here in LA, I go to the Arclight and Alamo Drafthouse. Tickets are $18-20 bucks.

This is the same price and doesn't include parking and concessions.

There will be less children in the cinemas. How are they gonna stop the torrents?

I don’t know why
Every way I see it $20 is a steal
Yeah my tv isn’t huge but I’d do this every time

movie theaters had a good run, nothing to be ashamed of

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

It costs $13 (on average) to see a movie in a movie theater that isn't a matinee showing and for 3-D it's even more.
That doesn't even take into account the cost of concession food. And if you're on a date all of that doubles.
But for $20 I could have the same experience in my living room.
Seems like a deal to me.

Nah. You think Disney/Pixar is gonna give them new releases 2 weeks after they hit theaters in a non-COVID world? Cmon lol

None of this shyt is predictive of the future. It could speed up the digital releases of smaller movies like The Hunt or Emma, but I don't see the major studios giving this plan any boost.

I agree. I think the switch is going to be that the big tentpole franchise movies like Fast & Furious, Marvel type ones will still get the full theater release but smaller films will more likely go the direct to streaming route.

They still won't go direct. A24 has said they're not, for one. There is nothing about this current situation that we can call predictive of the future market. All of the data is hugely skewed because of the limited amount of releases, the novelty of the idea and the sheer number of people stuck inside a desperate for anything interesting to do. I hope the studios find this successful in the moment, but it means little for the future.

I pay 10-15 for movies... never anything over that... alot of y'all stay getting ripped off and whats worse what if the movie sucked then the whole thing was a waste of $20...

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


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

No company has cash reserves outside of apple

holding cash makes no sense when running a business

China has really fukked up shyt.
