Re: Scare Tactics
If the movie theater doesn't offer an experience that will keep the seats filled, they should be closed down. My Home Theater system is better than my local theater's.
The reason they're not releasing movie's for sale at the same time, is they lose the ability to charge people multiple times for the same movie. Now, they get $8-$12 (per person) for the movie ticket, $3-$6 for people to watch it on pay-per-view before it comes out on DVD, and either $2-$5 bucks for a rental, or $15-$20 to sell, then an additional $15-$25 for the special, extendid, unrated, director's cut (with the 3 minutes of additional footage).
As long as Movie Theaters are making so much money, they will never change their model. Let's not forget, Box Office records have once again been broken this year. It will be interesting to see if they start to drop after filing lawsuits. |
