Simultaneous movie release options

I would too.Depends on cost though.What i've read in the past is they might charge 50 bucks for home service.They did it with The Force Awakens in Canada.

$50 would be a gamble. If I was completely confident it would be good, I would do it. Driving, parking, standing in line, expensive and lame snacks, loud kids, driving home etc- I would drop the cash to avoid that BS.

That was a couple years ago i think.Hopefully it would be a lot cheaper today.

For stuff like Alien or Star Wars movies - definitely need to watch it in a cinema.  For other films, home might an option.  If the internet connection was reliable.

It would be totally worth it if a group of friends chipped in and made a private party of it.

That would be great.Though i would replace friends with family.Don't have many friends.

nin- me either, but my dog digs everything I like lol.

SM- The theater experience is superior, but I would sacrifice it for absolute silence and no interruptions and streaming is no issue here although that can be a problem in other areas.

It would be me,my brother,my sister,my two cats,and maybe my mother.

$10 per person plus whatever  food and beverage seems worth it.

Everyone would chip in.I would provide food and drinks.Also found out i was wrong about Star Wars in Canada.

My math was off. For 4 it would be about $13 per person. Still a bargain for those choosing that method.

Not bad at all considering that's probably how much you pay to see it in theaters.

Sounds unlikely since theaters are worried they won't sell enough snacks according to Wired. DVD/bluray it is then! I can wait. Screw popcorn sales.

Really?Snacks?I buy my snacks from the 99 cent store and smuggle them in.Too damned expensive at the theater.Snacks what a joke.

Gotta sell those snacks. I hope  be proved wrong. Until then:

With blockbusters making more and more money every year, I can't imagine they'd undercut themselves like this.

Besides what to stop someone renting out a hall and playing the film on a projector for 50 people.

I buy the occasional bag of popcorn,but it never really gets eaten.Kind of a waste of money,though it is my fault for not eating it.

It's just giving the public another option.Theaters aren't going anywhere.

With three kids we usually buy popcorn.  The prices are fairly galling - but it does taste good.

Depends on the theater.Some are good,some are not.
