Who paid 20 dollars to see King of Staten Island? We did not. And we were looking forward to seeing it. But not 20 dollars worth.

And that would've been the two us, husband and wife, absorbing the 20 dollars, so 10 dollars each if you want to consider it that way. Still, no way was that ever even considered. We'll either see it some day for way, way less at home, or we'll see it for 5 bucks in a theater if they ever show it, and that's it.

I would put so many movies into that type of scenario. I don't see it, not paying 20, 30 dollars to watch it at home. But I'd pay 5 to 12 to see it at a theater, or i'll pay a buck for Redbox as a rental. That's it.

So: About the Mulan /Disney + thing: Can you ever imagine paying 30 dollars to watch a movie on your TV? I won't. goodvibe61 Aug 09, 10:23

I had intended to see all of these but WW1984 in a theater. I do not see myself paying 30 to see any of them at home however. {nm} goodvibe61 Aug 09, 10:25

So here is the thinking... StarBondFund Aug 09, 10:43

the average VOD transaction is watched by 1.8 people so the $30 is $16.67 a person on average {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 11:04

What percentage of viewers realistically split the cost? How often does one person absorb the total cost? {nm} goodvibe61 Aug 09, 11:08

those dynamics won't change how much the average VOD transaction is viewed by. The situation here is a little different since its not really Moviesnob Aug 09, 11:27

So they immediately alienate a customer like me with no kids and a wife who has zero interest in seeing it? sberg23 Aug 09, 20:08

i paid $20 to rent Never Rarely Sometimes Always on my laptop, which is how i stream everything else. if it's the only way to watch a thing? pickle rick! Aug 09, 12:03

Thanks (it's one I worked on) {nm} RufusS Aug 09, 12:36

"enjoyed" is probably not the right word but i appreciated the way it engaged with the subject matter {nm} pickle rick! Aug 09, 12:51

Endured? {nm} RufusS Aug 09, 13:37

somewhere in the middle of the two pickle rick! Aug 09, 15:09

As a home theater enthusiast the laptop part kills me a little. I'd definitely do $30 for the right movies, preferably on a projector {nm} OdysseusG Aug 09, 13:21

I’d do it for Tenent and maybe Wonder Woman. I already pay for Disney+ so I won’t be renting this... {nm} Steved1998 Aug 09, 13:51

The only people that CAN rent it are Disney Plus members, correct? So you're paying in addition to the montly fee if/when you watch. {nm} goodvibe61 Aug 09, 14:48

Yes that’s right. I hear you ‘own’ the movie for the lifetime of your subscription, which makes me question if it will hit the regular tier {nm} Steved1998 Aug 10, 20:06

They are betting on purchases by the families with kids who re-watch the latest movie until the parents go nuts! "Let It Go" {nm} monkeybeat Aug 09, 14:12

except Mulan ain't that kinda movie afaict {nm} pickle rick! Aug 09, 15:11

You're not thinking about families. I pay $50+ to take my family to the theater. This is a good deal for me. {nm} TheDowIsUp Aug 09, 18:29
