Well, I bet Endgame made about $650M from one time viewers (not including the nuts who saw it multiple, even 20+ times). Numbers don't mean jack. Can't believe people see and pay for a movie that many times. Why give studios free money? They must be laughing their a$$es off thinking we're idiots.

I have A-List and Regal Unlimited. For about $50 a month, I can attend as many showings as I have the endurance for. If I watched 60 movies in a month, I’d be paying less than $1 per screening.

I think less than $1 per movie is a pretty good deal

I’d rather have a life than go to the movies 60 times a month

That's besides the point.

I figured that number was both arbitrary and hyperbolic, because if for real that is certainly a lot... but the point is that theater subscriptions maintain their value if you choose to use them.

How much are you paying monthly for your streaming services, by the way?

Telemachus · 08-10-2025, 09:21 PM

Pure cinema!

Zivouhr · 08-10-2025, 09:36 PM

Superman is still my favorite movie so far in 2025, so it'll be interesting to see if anything tops it or matches it.

Hulu is free from my phone plan and I pay yearly for HBO max. So about $12 per month.

Then how are you ever going to see the likes of Fantastic Four or Jurassic World?

Not that I mean those movies specifically, but how do you catch movies that HBO Max doesn't or won't offer?

Literally one premium format ticket pays for my entire month of A-List, the rest is gravy.

I have internet. Don't need to subscribe to anything extra.

I can only hope you're joking.

DThompson · 08-10-2025, 10:34 PM

Obviously being facetious. But yeah I don't subscribe to much. Becomes too expensive and not really worth the money IMO since it takes years between seasons of shows now. I usually just wait a for a physical release if I can't catch stuff on what I have or in the theater. Why I ain't too sad about the short window between airing and physical release for stuff.

I’m a physical media guy I enjoyed F4 so I’ll definitely be buying the 4K when it comes out on disc. I have no interest in the new JW movie.

You aren't missing much. It's the same old shit. Not entirely sure why I bothered since I've disliked the last 4 (now 5) of the JP/JW franchise.

John1701D · 08-10-2025, 10:51 PM

I liked Rebirth. It was a return to the original trilogy and was much better than any of the Pratt stuff.

Ha Ha...bad boy!

Yes I get everything the day it hits streaming and I'm a tech incompetent but my friend isn't.

Most films, I've already seen with Regal Unlimited.

The good movies I buy but generally never Day One but I broke down on Kraven steelbook to get all the formats. I neglected Sinners steelbook so now it's too late so waiting for BF and since I saw it at the theater and also have it I can wait. But if Walmart of Amazon finds a stash, I'll buy up to $40.

Where there's a will there's a way and The Studios and Theaters are still making money off me but if Regal keeps raising the price, I will cancel. $30 is my breaking point.

You were joking?

You all should talk to young people who know their computers and phones inside and out and ask how they view movies, restricted sporting events.

Nothing is impossible for these kids.

They are not buying anything.

I am buying but they are not.

I still buy a lot too:
Funny Girl 4K
Natural Born Killers 4K steelbook
Lady Sings The Blues Bluray
Go-Go's Documentary Bluray

Grant Green Visions Vinyl
Joe Henderson Multiple Vinyl
Pete Townshend Psychoderilict music only half speed master vinyl

Talking Heads More Songs About Food and Buildings Super Deluxe Box Set

Not really on board with the "If I watch 8000 movies on it, the price per movie is cheaper" narrative at play here. If I spent every waking hour watching Netflix I would certainly be maximizing it's "value" but I would certainly be losing out on other aspects of life. It seems like there's an effort to try to normalize BB's very weird habits, from them and also others. I don't wish ill on them for it, but I will certainly acknowledge how odd it is.
