HOLLYWOOD STOCK EXCHANGE

With 4 people, the cost is comperable.
On the other hand, getting out of the house is kind of the point of going to the movies in the first place for us, so no.
That's why I don't understand the business model in play here. For singles and couples, it's a huge premium. For families is may be cost effective, but again, a major point of the movies is getting the kids out of the house. Are there going to be groups of teens having viewing parties for moves like SUPE2? Probably, and it makes economic sense for them to do so. Alas, Hollywood would lose money in this case. So, how is this model going to work for Hollywood?
Would you pay 50 dollars new film release like superman/batman? Mar 21, 06:08
I wouldn't pay that much for any film. The luxury of watching it at home isn't worth that hefty premium. {nm} Mar 21, 06:17
For 1 person yes, but you get 4 buddies to come over for a watching party and it's cheaper than the theater. {nm} Mar 21, 06:26
and a whole church congregation of 200 can watch Miracles From Heaven in their church sanctuary for $50. {nm} Mar 21, 06:37

Are they going to send little Tommy to jail? {nm} Mar 21, 08:39
No, but The Powers That Be have shown know problems with forcing little Tommy and his parents in to bankruptcy. {nm} Mar 21, 08:41
This needs an edit. Obviously 'know' should have been 'no'. Lack of coffee. {nm} Mar 21, 08:42
Tommy will hook you up with coffee too. {nm} Mar 21, 09:13
Then I'm in!! :) {nm} Mar 21, 10:10
Tickets are free, but popcorn is $10. Also, there's a 2-drink minimum. {nm} Mar 21, 08:48

You make great points. For us, it's about going out - plus, microwave popcorn is no match for the theater's. Mar 21, 06:34
The HD day-and-date Piracy factor makes this whole plan a non-starter. (how come this isn't brought up more?) {nm} Mar 21, 06:55
no {nm} Mar 21, 09:01
The Theatres are going to become like blockbuster, no? {nm} Mar 21, 09:44
This reeks of an ego trip and him trying to "save the movie industry" like he "saved" music. {nm} Mar 21, 09:51
Putting people out of job. No job. It's going hurt the economy in a long run. {nm} Mar 21, 09:49
Mike Having Nice people react yes... Powerball superbingo more react so. Ty {nm} Mar 21, 13:04
