4D is coming to Theaters, $8 more. How will this affect BO?

[theultimatebiu]

Remind me not to watch Saw 8 at a 4d cinema.Do not want to get decapitated whilst watching a film. Especially if it's $8 more expensive than not being decapitated.

Or watch girl with a dragon tattoo......you might get raped by your seat

How about Dumb and Dumber in 4D?

I could see it having one big movie that hypes it up (a la Avatar) but then everyone will release their movies in 4D and it will backfire, even more so than the 3D format.

Is this a joke?

I would pay for a Norbit 4D experience. That's the only chance for Eddie Murphy having another 100m film.

4D movies are headed to North America, bringing more than 1,000 new sensations to your movie watching experience, including the ability to smell.

The creation of South Korea’s CJ Group, the 4DX system takes your standard 3D movie experience to the next level using nozzles in the seats. While you’re watching a movie that mimics a trip out in the ocean, the nozzle might spray out a mist of water. Watching a movie about street racing? The nozzles might pump out the smell of burning rubber.

Seats in the theater are movable as well, so when a car crash happens on the screen it can also feel like it’s happening in your chair. Large fans positioned around the theater can make you feel like you’re caught in a windstorm, and massive lights located around the theater can be used to create huge flashes like you might see in a lightening storm.

Programming the 4D experience for a film can take close to a month, depending on how complex the 4D experience is for the film.

The CJ Group hopes to outfit 200 theaters in North America with 4DX technology over the next four years, starting with theaters in New York and Los Angeles.

A 4D film is expected to set you back an additional $8 at the box office over its 3D counterparts.

Would it be worth an extra $8 for you to be able to smell your movie? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Dumbass idea. People are going less right now because of the prices and somehow they think will people pay 8 dollars extra. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Edit: went Yoda with my post. Hopefully people understand it.

Yep hollywood execs just come into the theater and shove their dicks in your mouth....than take your money

[druv10]

I have to see this, Hollywood never surprises me with their gimmicks. Here's a noble thought, make quality movies and people will show.

Don't give them any ideas. Before you know it, we'll be seeing 10D.

[Ozymandias]

Sweat, theaters are gonna turn into theme park rides.

[RTX]

Theaters like this already exist in some countries and they are rather popular. There is definitely a market for this kind of theater experience.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Porn in 4D on the other hand...

I'll wait for 5D on that one...

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

As far as how it will affect box office...I'm sure it will give the "haters" even more excuses.

[iceroll]

I'm pretty sure we already have 5D

Watching movies while riding the motorcycle anyone?
