I would happily do VOD for like at least half of the movies I go to theaters for. I'd even pay more for VOD.veryfuller said:
I think the little theater doesn't need to worry about this. They can show the movie during the window, and keep showing it after if it brings them in money or stop if it doesn't. They lose the VOD cash, but I doubt the VOD cash is going to be that significant. VOD has been doing well because there isn't a theater option. If the option is open, I think most people will chose the theater until they can stream the movies for "free" on whatever subscription service they have.

I would still go see every movie I normally see in the theater in the theater. I could see watching a movie on demand that I would not have chosen to go see in the theater though and maybe paying a bit more, but not $20 to stream it.
I love the theater because it's dark, you can check out of the world/your phone, and during that run-time it's just you and the film. Call it lack of self control or just the availability of distractions, but I can't mimic that at home even with a badass TV and sound system. Still doesn't feel quite the same.
I'd pay $20 to have someone rip the memory of Trolls World tour out of my memory.Rick Dalton said:And yet this is the exact position that AMC took when Universal sent Trolls World Tour straight to PVOD. The other theater chains would be foolish not to take the same position to try to get a similar deal.fig96 said:
Also, these theaters aren't going to willingly pass on the Fast, Jurassic Park, Minions, Dreamworks, etc., franchises.
I'm not saying they won't try, but they also have no leverage to hardline here. If they say "take it or don't take it" they're the ones that are left out in the cold.Rick Dalton said:And yet this is the exact position that AMC took when Universal sent Trolls World Tour straight to PVOD.

I would pay $50 easily to VOD the Top Gun sequel right now.
And I'd still see it in theaters when it comes out. At least twice.
I'd rather wait for the theater personally.'03ag said:

I was planning on seeing this on the largest screen possible, maybe even in IMAX (which I rarely do).'03ag said:

In a surprise development, Disney announced Tuesday that Mulan will be offered to Disney+ customers in the U.S. and other top markets at a premium price if $29.99.
The debut date is Sept 4. In addition to the U.S., it will be made available to Disney+ customers in Canada, New Zealand, Australia and many Western European countries.
In territories where it doesn't debut on Disney+, Mulan will be made available to cinemas. The movie's release date in theaters has been delayed numerous times because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
