Walt Disney Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Drive Ins are awesome cause you don't have to worry about 2-3 jackasses in front of you opening their phone. You don't have to listen to the 16yr guy in the horror movie think he's being cool by shouting "Don't Do IT!" Nor do you have to listen to Jenny and Ashley talk about 5th period cause they were dragged to this action flick by the boys. And of course the capper, those parents who couldn't get a sitter but bring their 6mo infant anyway and the child begins crying during the crucial reveal portion of the second act. You sit in you car, tune the radio to the frequency for the film and enjoy it as it's meant to be. Drive-Ins are a very cool experience. I went twice to one on Transit Road in Buffalo, NY. It was an awesome experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Drive-In's are pretty awesome, the novelty definitely goes a long way these days. My dad took me to my first one last year to see Gravity, we had to drive around an hour and a half but he figured as much as I like movies it was something I needed to experience. They had switched over to digital projection, one thing I didn't expect. The double feature was Cloudy 2 / Gravity. Odd combo but I certainly enjoyed myself. Actually, I hate the drive-in for a legit movie experience It's a fun time for either rewatches or movies I don't particularly care about, but since the sound sucks and there's no actual crowd experience, I avoid it for actually anticipated movies of mine (I say this because I think seeing Gravity at the drive-in would be awful ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Who would subject themselves to that? Someone has a sick sense of humor. As all things terrible in this world (besides the Jump Street movies,) blame Sony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rthmessiah Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 We've had some nice double features so far this year Captain America: The Winter Soldier / Divergent Rio 2 / Captain America: The Winter Soldier The Amazing Spider-Man 2 / RoboCop Heaven is for Real / The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The LEGO Movie / Mr. Peabody and Sherman X-Men: Days of Future Past / The Other Woman Godzilla / X-Men: Days of Future Past Edge of Tomorrow / Godzilla Maleficent / Edge of Tomorrow And starting Friday it's How to Train Your Dragon 2 / Maleficent and 100% of the BO take gets added to each title stupid system In Intl you can't mix studios/distributors (theres a rare exception) so you won't get Godz +DOFP or Male+EOT or Lego+Peabody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the DOM market correct, the financial calc for film hire(rentals) payed of cause doesn't work that way. Say you look at title been on few weeks and suddenly theres an uplift/low drop/increase in theatres etc it'll be mainly because on either 1-film now playing discount houses 2-film is part of double/tripple feature with some new release film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
