BoP and Sonic should be good contenders for this as well since they already have pirated copies out there.

It does, but until they watch me watch their movie I'm fine waiting months to see something at $5 or less.
For something like Trolls, though, it's a pretty good option for parents quarantined with their kids.
I love movie theaters and value my wife and I's frequent date nights, but we just can't keep up with all the movies we'd like to see there. Stuff like this is a godsend. I'm hoping for a middle ground.
I wonder if actual home release is still far off? Invisible man is a movie I actually rather purchase.
I want the theater industry to continue to succeed. I love the movie theater experience and I love my A-List subscription. One of the best values ever.
I worked on The Hunt and was disappointed to see it bomb, but understandably so given the current pandemic.
In this rare instance, I am happy to see it go VOD so quickly. Very proud of the work we did. My name made the credits!

I like seeing movies in the theater for the picture quality and sound but everything else (usually other people) are fucking terrible so I'm more than happy if some version of this keeps going into the future.
Will pay $20 to watch Black Widow from the comfort of my home

I don't think it will. I don't think the numbers will work out that way.
Thats the other thing. I saw that and loved it, but if I spend another $20 on it, I'm spending for keeps.
Nah, this is the first step to movies being devalued to the level of music. Unless they have a fool proof way to prevent piracy this isn't gonna make nearly enough to make this system viable outside of a pandemic.
So let's all go on lockdown so we minimize the economical and human toll - so theaters can still exist.

I do love my AMC A-List. I have an incredible 4K tv but my apartment is small and my roomies would hate me if I got a good sound system.
Are we headed for a future where only blockbusters get theatrical releases and everything else is a "premium VOD rental" day one?
I'm in.
I'm in.
I wonder if Promising Young Woman and Antebellum might get VOD releases next month. Neither is likely to be a big box office hit and they might benefit from everyone being stuck indoors.
With Onward tanking at the B.O. it might be worth Disney putting it on Disney+ within the next few weeks, especially with the European launch next week.
I'm not so sure, really. Almost none of my Star Wars fan friends have gone to the "effort" to torrent/stream The Mandalorian despite 4K rips being available for like 3 months, even though D+ isn't out in the UK. Your average shmoe can't be bothered.
I watch about 120 movies in cinemas per year but I would gladly watch all low/mid-budget movies on VOD, saving the cinema for just the big blockbusters instead. People are annoying as fuck and when you combine travel + trailers, you can spend like 3 hours of your day to watch a 90 minute movie lmao.

I really hope not. I love watching smaller stuff in the cinema, more than blockbusters (mostly because I dislike most big blockbusters). Those movies not getting a cinema release anymore would be a big loss for the film industry IMO.
Also, if anyone needs the money from theatrical runs it's the smaller distributors and producers.

I like this but 20 dollars is too expensive for me. It's a good price for couples for sure, but as an A-list user and a frugal person otherwise, it's a hard sell. As a person who tried to see a movie or two a week with A-list, I can't spend 80-160 dollars a month on new releases. I won't watch one movie at that price. Long term it really doesn't make sense for single people, which sucks.
This won't have any long term effects because of the piracy problem. A theater release is the best form of DRM ever because the only pirated copies available during a theatrical run will be shitty cam rips.
If you have day-1 home video releases, you also get 4K flawless pirated copies day-1.

I think they will. Literally every theater in my town is closed. might as well try to sell digitally .
Doesn't the same argument apply for The Witcher, The Mandalorian, Westworld, and the likes? They're just as prone to piracy, yet they're obviously doing well for their respective streaming services.
There's more money involved when you're paying per movie/show vs a monthly service.
They are out on VUDU.
