1+ Pretty much the same for us slightly larger screen. We had a near perfect movie experience
with great sound (not quite theater quality, its a work in progress) and pause for an intermission when we chose. For the small group at my place I'm figuring that we saved way over a hundred bucks and had more comfort, less distractions and far better refreshments.
With the new variants popping up and a decent quality setup at home I ask myself what is likely to draw is back in to going to theaters. Perhaps we will do it just a change up for a night out. I am very happy with the move to streaming for first run movies at reasonable prices.
ERC: Disney actually divulged they earned 60 million from Black Widow on Disney+ this weekend WW Jul 11, 08:20
BW tanked on Saturday only 80 million domestic weekend projected now {nm} Jul 11, 08:22
More importantly (since this is a game about theatrical box office), it only ended up with $80 million for the weekend. Jul 11, 08:24
Make no mistake: This is a very bad precedent for the MCU* (*that C is for cinematic, but maybe it should be an S) Jul 11, 08:27
Theaters don't need to sue, they can just choose not to book Disney films. {nm} Jul 11, 08:44
Sure, that too... we'll see what happens. {nm} Jul 11, 09:43
But not playing films won't hurt Disney if they've already decided and seen how money they can make via Disney+ Jul 11, 10:06
Like BOSS2, it tanked on Sat and Sun because that's when the families that streamed at home would have come to theaters. {nm} Jul 11, 08:38
I am thinking Shang Chi exclusively theatrical status may be endangered {nm} Jul 11, 08:41
Yup... and actually, Black Widow would probably have gotten better reviews... Jul 11, 08:44
Thats the global number, so they are just shifting dollars around the new windows Jul 11, 08:57
so they can actually reveal VOD numbers when they're good . . . {nm} Jul 11, 09:21
we weren't ready to go back to the theater (yet), so we watched it on our surround system with 65-inch screen and... Jul 11, 11:13
But would you have been ready if the movie wasn't readily available on your 65 inch TV? {nm} Jul 11, 11:37
we would have had to wait for it on Blu-ray {nm} Jul 11, 17:34
Or you don't OWN a 65" TV in the first place. {nm} Jul 11, 19:40
1+ Pretty much the same for us slightly larger screen. We had a near perfect movie experience Jul 11, 12:19
it defies logic that anybody just believes what they say. It's the same level of transparency as Net Trick; Zero. Jul 11, 14:27
