    Whilst it does clearly state that they will keep movies in theaters if they’re doing well, they’re not really seeing the elephant in the room. What will audiences do if they think they can wait a few weeks and watch it at home? 

     

    We’re potentially going from a tried and tested system that works, to something that could be a disaster.  I don’t get it personally. 

     

    17 days is ludicrous. 

    How many films do you think will really only wait 17 days?

     

    I see this as a win for movie theaters and companies. Films that we expect to do great that bomb get out quickly and the theater makes space for films that don't suck.

     

    There are plenty of people that never want to go to the theater and plenty who hate watching movies on a tiny tv or laptop. Personally I'm in-between but there is a not shit chance in hell I would have watched end game on my laptop first or second or third. Same goes avatar 2 once it comes out in 10 years.

    Yeh I’m sure AMC will be up for it, they’re getting a cut of the PVOD. 

    Which will heavily reduce the number of online titles as it makes it harder for them to make money on the online only films. 

     

    Universal gets to safe face saying they shortened the window. AMC gets to say no more direct only titles and we get a cut of PVOD. Nice tap dance there by those two.

    I actually think its the end of smaller films in theaters.

     

    Like personally the only thing getting most people to a theater anytime soon would be IW/Endgame level film.

     

    Meaning a film you must watch right away and not jsut wait 2-3 months to get at home.  

    I could see that and we could see a lot of theaters close. Consolidate to maximize profit.
