Though I also think exhibition should have been more willing to experiment with windows with their studio partners (and even Netflix/Amazon) pre-COVID vs being forced into this.  

Seems like anyone and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon to get rid of theatrical. It amazes me. goodvibe61 Nov 19, 18:36

Well said! No matter how much is spent on a home system, and I've been in elaborate ones, the cinema experience far exceeds! {nm} PhoneHome Nov 20, 05:03

For me its the opposite... 3ebfan511 Nov 20, 05:48

I kinda get that. I'm enjoying more intimate movies at home now. Plus, no upcoming movie will replicate the Avengers: Endgame experience. {nm} Jay_Beezy Nov 20, 06:58

I agree with 3ebfan511's first paragraph 100%. I never really see a reason to go to the theater, for the very reasons they stated. {nm} Buckee Nov 20, 07:12

This has nothing to do with being an introvert or extrovert TheWeekendWarrior Nov 20, 07:37

I don't know what that means... {nm} 3ebfan511 Nov 20, 08:20

You suggested that people that go to movie theaters more than twice a year are extroverts. I'm pointing out that this is false. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 20, 10:05

Well you don't know if its false, its a theory. You seem to say you are an extrovert...proving the point. Anyway the last few sentences.. 3ebfan511 Nov 20, 10:20

+1. The last movie I saw in theaters was Spider-Man: FFH. After that, had little desire to visit the theaters. ~JPV~ Nov 20, 09:37

The flexibility is whats important. Once there is confidence in the market and people learn to cope with it, people will come back. Gogreen Nov 20, 07:30
