Of course the co-ceo of Netflix is going to say to release on streaming. Why listen to someone who has a very vested monetary interest in not having theatrical releases?
I mean I don't disagree with him. I've only ever wanted to go to the theaters for a big action movie or something like that. I don't see the point to watching a quiet, slow burn drama or rom com in a movie theater. It's a waste. I would say a good 50% of movies that go to theaters, should not be there and would be fine releasing on streaming
I wouldn't say it's a waste even if you're not maximizing the benefit of the large screen and high powered audio system. It can be nice just to go out and do something, have some beers, theater food, and popcorn.
So expensive though. $50+ for my wife and I to go watch a movie so we're very selective and only go see the movies that are big screen worthy
We luckily have a local theater that now shows first-run movies and only charged $9 per ticket versus all the other Regal owned theaters, which charge twice as much.
Just give me the 4K disk. Then I can just load it into my Jellyfin server and I don’t have to worry about “release windows” or “am I signed up for the RIGHT streaming service to watch this”.
Buying disks is literally stealing because they get more revenue if you're subscribed!!1
This is actually an excellent counter to the "piracy is stealing" argument.
WHY IS YOUR ENTERTAINMENT NOT MORE EFFICIENT, HUMAN??
Instead, he believes in the idea “that we’ve got to constantly challenge ourselves, to break [the business] and move our business forward on behalf of our consumers.”
so challenging yourself to be ballsy enough to raise prices often? 🤔
Cinemas would be great, if it wasn't for the other people there. Watching a movie in the comfort of my own home, with the ability to enable subtitles, pause to go to the bathroom or grab a drink, control the volume, etc. is just a much better experience these days. The only thing you miss out on is the huge screen and the overpriced popcorn.
Yeah just let me watch new movies from the comfort of my couch. I’ll just wait for them to come to streaming anyway.
