I think we will see some really killer new designs for theaters moving forward. And they aren't going to be massive 50,000 sqft builds anymore. I have a few ideas to try next year. While there is a ton of heart break in the independent theater owner community right now, there is also a sense of excitement for many of us younger folks who have thought we needed big change.

TheLeon Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I just want to leave my apartment and go to a place where I can focus on a movie for roughly 2 hours. Whatever you have to do for that to happen, I’m in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Wasn't that diagram a proof of concept created years ago!? Crazy how, in some ways, it holds so much weight in the current climate. Furthermore, jacks for noise cancelling headphones is fucking genius actually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I know 30 dollars is a lot for one movie but I’ll probably watch it with my friend, so 15 each which is basically a non-matinee ticket around here. Plus on 4K with my decent sound system. Very much looking forward to Mulan because It doesn’t look like an identical remake and FINALLY a big release. I would think if Mulan meets their expectations they might be willing to do the same for Black Widow, feeling more confident about the money they would make.

Guest Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Part of the issue here that many are not picking up on is that the D+ pipeline for big new content is also at a stand still, as is every other studios streaming platforms. Poaching some of their would-be theatrical releases for streaming will become nearly a necessity in the fall and winter as they struggle to get production ramped up.

The story going around is that it might also be available to nonsubscribers. This is just Disney looking to keep the whole $30 from this rental. 1 hour ago, johnny said: I know 30 dollars is a lot for one movie but I’ll probably watch it with my friend, so 15 each which is basically a non-matinee ticket around here.

I was already spending that much to go to theaters. I did Trolls World Tour for $20. If this movie is even marginally better than Trolls $30 will be worth it.

DarkStar189 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 So a few months ago when Trolls World Tour went digital, AMC vowed to not play Universal movies anymore. Has there been any anger toward Disney for this? Or maybe we are far enough into the pandemic AMC knows better now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be unlikely to revisit it between the time I first watched it and when it ended up on Disney+ anyways. Still, psychologically that does make it more palatable.
