I think a lot more people would pay for that.

$30 to watch it at home, when I can see it 30 days from now? No thanks.

they tried that with Mulan and it was a disaster -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 2, 10:21 7
- it wouldn't work with every movie. Black Widow = yes (we paid to watch early). Black Panther = damn right. Anything else = I'll just wait for free - Beaker Dec 2, 10:32 1
  - right, the window can never be long enough for marginal consumers. they’ll always find a reason not to shell out the $30-40 bucks for day and date VOD -- nm* - hollywood big shot Dec 2, 10:36
- Right, for $30. And available to subscribers 60 days later. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 2, 10:25 3
  - if Disney Premiere was a viable model for replacing (or even just not cannibalizing) exhibition, they would be doing it for everything - hollywood big shot Dec 2, 10:34 2
    - Convenience is taken care of. Price and Exclusivity then are the major hurdles, and one is dependent on the other. - JaxSean Dec 2, 10:50
    - Unless they had signed the wrong talent contracts prior to the releases... -- nm - The Gossip King Dec 2, 10:37

agreed. -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 10:15
