At $25 a pop, people will wait for it to be on BluRay.

Or not go.

Especially given the size of new TVs, the elaborate sound systems, and that a family can watch that BluRay for $25, while the movie is $100+.

Or most likely get a pirated copy.

I have a blue ray player and a measley 46” flat screen and stereo only. The ONLY reason I will ever darken the doorway of a theater now is 3D IMAX. At home there is no drive, no parking hassle, cheap popcorn, no illness laden and rude people. Etc.

It was our last two theater experiences that pushed me over the edge. That was a little over a year ago.

And, honestly, the sound is better and the picture sharper at home. Oh, and I rent blue ray’s for free at the library on my way home from work.

I sure won’t. Everything has gone up in price by several orders of magnitude under 0’s watch. It’s not like it will affect him or his cronies in the slightest but it is beating the hell out of regular people’s wallets everyday.

We usually hit matinees and sneak water and candy in. That makes it about $13 for the both of us. If we buy a water and a popcorn, it more than doubles the cost. I'm starting to consider buying a show or two off the DIREC TV system - $5 bucks or so and don't have to sneak anything. Theaters are going to put themselves out of business. Then Hollywood will make movies and try to charge $15K a pop for a viewing ...

I haven’t been to a movie in 20 years. Have no intention of ever going again.

Not about to give one thin dime of my money to people in the movie industry who hate me and my country, but think it is fine to get rich mocking me.

To hell with these pretty liberal idiots who play the parts of other people’s lives.
