Friend, where did I say this was going to happen in 2020 after a pandemic? I said the future.

I'm comfortable saying the next 7 to 10 years. Yeah, 2030.

A two car household, or a one car household and a home theater?

Refinancing your mortgage? A home theater will be a popular addition.

Does this qualify for 5% back if you used your Amazon Visa Card? :patrice:

It's not just Amazon, YouTube/Google Play Movie is offering the same service.

Just watched The Invisible Man on Google Play and the picture quality was asscheeks as always with all rental streams.

Movie Theatres have nothing to worry about. It really pissed me off that these trailers are streamed at high quality 4k and when you pay for some actual content it comes in 480p trash quality.

I'll watch a Blu-ray for a movie that came out last year from Redbox before i made this mistake again.

Amazon has the best quality online video I think. Everything else beside iTunes and Vudu of course is usually suspect.

Theaters should try to temporarily convert themselves into drive in theaters in the mean time to make money.

You already have all that projection equipment. Set up a couple screens in the parking lot.send the audio through some radio channel that people can tune into from their vehicle radio.Let people pull up in their cars like they did back in the day.

You can only have night time showings but at least you get some money.

What a dumb ass statement.. how does that compare to being in a actual movie theater... I’ll wait

It's better in almost every way

At home you'll have the best seating

Most theaters still show in 1080p and movie projectors cant show hdr with onliy 50-to 100 nits, and the black levels are lacking

If you have a good 4k tv, your nits should be able to exceed 1000 nits with great black levels

Most theaters dont have dobly atmos surround sound, and good home theater does

If you need to use the bathroom you can just pause or to go eat

Home theater takes the W

:wow:This just means the torrents drop faster
The CAM CD vendors underworld is about to upgrade to BluRay. I'm really looking forward to see how they will try to stop piracy, and fail tremendously.

Aside from that I don't fancy the ideea because most of the times I go to the Cinema not because of the movie but because of the experience and the "going out" thing.

it's because the trailer has been stored in the servers for months.
full movies are never stored the same way because of a piracy risk and it would bloat the space.
so they stream the movies to you slowly.
the quality degrades because it's streaming the film while playing it to you and buffering in the background.

I like having the control of a home theater. Can fine time the sounds, temp, can eat what I want, etc.

One thing I saw a report on last night was drive in theaters cleaning up right now.
