I'd pay $40 to see an opening movie at home on PPV.

Like, the night it opens at the theaters. If I got to keep a digital copy.

That thread was per-ticket. You have your family and you could also invite people over. Not nearly the same amount of money. -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 13:57
no way they'd go for the digital copy bit, imho. - znufrii Jan 11, 13:56
No way, even with a good home theater, it's still not the same experience - Guigue Jan 11, 13:53
That would be intriguing. - musubi Jan 11, 13:52 16
- It would probably end up being cheaper than paying a babysitter, plus gas, overpriced popcorn, etc. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 11, 13:53 15
  - I went to an expensive new theater this weekend that was totally worth it. First, it did come with free parking so that immediately made it - pmb Jan 11, 14:02 4
    - I have to admit, when I went to the Arclight in Hollywood, I was tickled that there was an honest to god usher who introduced the film. - musubi Jan 11, 14:07
    - that's a great deal. our VIP theatre here is $3 more i think. you get big armchairs with an end table, no commercials - Andie Jan 11, 14:04 2
      - you have no idea what I'd pay for no commercials -- nm - Pippy Bells Jan 11, 14:25
      - They have those in the suburbs. These are somewhat between. They are more comfortable seats with more leg room and the theaters aren't huge (maybe - pmb Jan 11, 14:08
  - why not just cut out the snacks? - Reagen Jan 11, 13:58 7
    - Commie. -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 14:18
    - If I pay for the movie I don't usually get snacks. If I don't pay for the movie I usually do get snacks. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 14:10 1
      - Really? My movie memories are of you snackless. -- nm - Inigo Jan 11, 14:13
    - It's Pavlovian now. I smell movie-popcorn and I'm a goner. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 11, 14:03
    - me too. (it helps that i don't love popcorn.) -- nm - Andie Jan 11, 14:01
    - I tell this to myself everytime I go to the movies, but movies without popcorn just *feels* wrong. (nm) - musubi Jan 11, 14:00
    - I don't think I paid for any food in a theater in 10 years - Guigue Jan 11, 14:00
  - Seriously, a typical movie night runs us about $35 already and is a big reason we don't go more often. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 11, 13:56
  - *ding* (nm) - musubi Jan 11, 13:55
Rarely, but sure. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 11, 13:52
Agreed. -- nm - David Jan 11, 13:51
