i can think of no movie, anywhere anytime anyplace, that i would pay $40 to watch straight up

Posted by fatsquatch (aka chris) Jan 11 '10, 13:13

maybe if it was a special screening with directors/actors and Q&A or reception afterward

but just to watch a movie? nooo

Spielberg has said in the past he thinks that it's gonna happen in 10 to 15 years. -- nm - Remlik Jan 11, 13:35
Those happen fairly frequently here. We's lucky. -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 13:22
Next Batman movie comes out, say it opens worldwide in June. Screen it one month earlier at $40 a go to bleed the fanboys, that's just sense. -- nm - Loyola Jan 11, 13:17 3
- a month is just crazy. the buzz is totally over a month in. if i haven't seen it by then, i've moved on. you'll lose a lot of the general audience - Andie Jan 11, 13:25
- How much would they really make? Compared to the risk of someone taping it somehow? -- nm - TFox Jan 11, 13:19 1
  - It's hard to know, but I'm guessing it'd work for the really popular films. Someone taping it is always the risk I guess. - Loyola Jan 11, 13:21
If I had luxury seating to an awesome movie, I'd think that price a better deal than $100+ for a live concert ticket. -- nm - Max Jan 11, 13:16 1
- we have this here now. "Gold Class" -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 11, 13:20
When I see pr0n movies priced at $40, I think they're crazy. - JaxSean Jan 11, 13:15 1
- Greencine has pr0n - con_carne Jan 11, 13:20
the IM said what I was thinking. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 13:14
it's same sort of thing as the 3D ticket prices - people are seeing that price and saying "OK" - Reagen Jan 11, 13:14
I wouldn't anymore. But I did drive like 7 hours roundtrip to see an advance screening of AI once, so I probably would have back then. -- nm - TFox Jan 11, 13:14 8
- ha. that was stupid -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 11, 13:14 7
  - they told me i could have a poster with my name printed in it, and i was in college and had nothing better to do. - TFox Jan 11, 13:15 6
    - Wait....you were in college with a woman....and you had nothing better than to drive 14 hours to see a movie on the promise of a poster with your name - Will Hunting Jan 11, 13:17 5
      - for *AI* -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 11, 13:22 1
        
        it's a movie i like a lot, and one that i *loved* when i saw it with an ultra-hyped advance audience like that. -- nm - TFox Jan 11, 13:23
      - not 7 hours each way. 7 hours total. - TFox Jan 11, 13:18 2
        
        Did they put your name in sparkles? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 11, 13:19 1
        
        most people would have needed a magnifying glass. -- nm - TFox Jan 11, 13:21
