Compsognathus 04/30/20 12:55:55 AM #68:	They wouldn't risk a F&F movie right now. Those movies are produced with the idea that they will go wide in release in as many screens as possible. Trolls was a low risk release. That was already a movie that was going to have a higher percentage of demand revenue relative to theater revenue. But real blockbusters not debuting on two of the big 3 theater chains...I'm not sure Universal would risk it. What Universal needs is allies. If they could get another studio (like Disney) to also back simultaneous demand releases their leverage goes back up.

PiOverlord 04/30/20 2:18:31 AM #78:	People who tout vod numbers for trolls are missing the point that theaters give studios two different revenue streams. Also, universal would be hurt by the theaters that can house many domestically ignoring them. Sure, people can go to other theaters, but there are variables such as those theaters being unable to get them all in and those people may just lose interest or go in later weeks when the studios make less of a percentage. It's not like theater space is unlimited space. --- Number of legendary 500 post topics: 33, 500th posts: 28; PiO ATTN: 5 RotM wins 1, LETTEN MY ARROW FLYEN TRUE <cite>PiOverlord posted [p:938350078] in AMC seemin...

Also, universal would be hurt by the theaters that can house many domestically ignoring them.

Deja Blue 03 04/30/20 3:02:02 AM #80:	I can't see anything pushing me to be on board for 100% VOD. It just can't take the place of the experience you get being in a crowd of people all reacting and going through the emotions of the moment together. Kind of like a sporting event.. free tv access doesn't take the place of going to a live event. That being said, it being cheaper would get me more on board than I am now. Outside of a kids movie (the only time I'm paying for a group of people at the theater), I don't think there's any other time I would even consider paying $20 for a single movie. I pay $5.50 for a ticket at the theater right now. --- "I can eat 50 eggs." -Cool Hand Luke <cite>Deja Blue 03 posted [p:938351284] in AMC seemin...

Rob Cesternino 04/30/20 3:26:31 AM #82:	I prefer the experience at AMC Theaters. I've had better movie watching experiences there than the other theaters. That said, it would be sad to not be able to see the new Fast & Furious movie there. Hopefully this gets resolved and Universal backs down. --- Stop asking me if I'm Jessica Simpson.
