Laguna Hills, CA | Same day as theater and you have a deal I'd like to see $30 same day as theater release.
For families this would be cheaper and the theater experience is getting worse and worse. People refuse to leave their screaming brats at home, refuse to turn off their phones and simply won't STFU.
I'd gladly shell out $30 to see a movie on release day if I could see it at home. |

Valencia, CA | On the flip side... it works out just as well:
1. No cost for 'baby sitters'
2. No $10 popcorn+soda
3. No +15 minutes of ads prior to the movie (I hope)
Personally, I see 1-2 movies / year, just because of the cost.
I'll typically wait for it to come out on DVD for $1/day rental.

I'd gladly shell out $30 to see a movie on release day if I could see it at home. $30 is a little steep for me, but then again, I only have my wife and I to worry about. A trip to the movies costed my wife and I $15 on Saturday during a matinee. No snacks though since we ate lunch at home about an hour before the movie.
I suppose if I had a larger family, that price point would be a good deal.  |

Laguna Hills, CA | That's the trade off through. It can't be too cheap otherwise the movie industry doesn't make their money. These movies can cost hundreds of millions to produce and market.
I think it would be good for the movie industry because they would get money form people like me who want to see the movie but refuse to go to a theater while at the same time still getting a good average revenue stream from it. |

1 edit | It follows the 'special event' PPV pricing model, too. If they were smart they'd do precisely that on release day...offer a $29.95 "all day ticket" via Pay Per View (VoD) and pick up all of those lazy bums who never see the inside of a theater but also are out of the entertainment buzz loop at the watercooler. Throw it up on a HD PPV channel and watch the cash roll in.

People refuse to leave their screaming brats at home, refuse to turn off their phones and simply won't STFU. I havent been to a movie theater since the late 90's for that very reason. Well, that and 99% of the movies made in the last 15 years have sucked!!
said by Dogfather:I'd gladly shell out $30 to see a movie on release day if I could see it at home. No question about it. My nice 52 inch HD screen or a sticky floor, a/c blasting, cell phone yak-athon? I choose home! I can pause the movie, get up to go the the bathroom, get a drink without missing anything, and most importantly, if the movie sucks (most likely) I can turn it off and watch something else!
