PVOD is pretty good, actually, IMHO better than streaming. Renting isn’t perfect, but I’d rather pay $5 to watch something one night than subscribe to something for $12/mo so I can watch the same thing with ads.
$25 ain’t bad if it’s an indefinite rental, but paying so much for 48 hour access is insane! It’s not like you’re getting a premium experience in a theater or something, in which case I get it.
I disagree. Paying $25 for a family of 4 and having the added bonus of not putting up with theater bullshit (e.g. ridiculous candy prices and asshole people) seems like a damn good deal.
Nobody’s making you buy candy. And people at the theaters actually aren’t that bad.
If PVOD rentals were still in theaters you’d have a point, and that applies for the movies mentioned in the articles. But most movies on PVOD are out of the theaters.
Way to miss the point. Name a place where a family of 4 can get 4 tickets to a current movie for $25. It’s not happening. They’re saying that for them, $25 is a fucking steal compared to the theatre experience just on price alone, BEFORE you even consider snacks and other people.
