Why Watch First-Run Movies @ Home?

Posted by OAE (aka KiwiPrincess) Apr 7 '11, 08:33

Interesting debate about influence of ad budgets for first run films: theatre? or @home for $29.99 sixty days later?

How do you vote if you can't get to/ don't live near/ refuse to sit in a dirty, theatre with talkatives?

Curious consumers wanna know!

    - It's a trojan horse. They introduce at this price and then when nobody pays it, they drop to a reasonable one. - David Apr 7, 08:41
