The snobs who run the academy awards and prolific directors like Nolan who don’t care for streaming services and have a hard on for movie theatres surely isn’t helping either Link to post Share on other sites

The movie theaters will declare war on Warner Bros, and they won't carry any WB movie for a long time. So, yes, many people will pay $20 to see a Nolan movie on VOD and WB could get a huge payday. But would regular people pay $20 to watch an unproven Suicide Squad sequel? This may come back to bite WB in several ways. Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,318 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I think Warner Bros should do a deal in which you buy the VOD for $30, and that comes with two ticket vouchers to see Tenet when it finally comes to theaters in the US. And WB gives that extra $10 to movie theater chains. Link to post Share on other sites

They would have to sell two tickets in the most expensive markets to make $20. Even in NYC (the most expensive market in the US) base ticket prices for standard movies is like $17. VOD definitely has a more limited reach potential than theaters but it's not so cut and dry. Link to post Share on other sites

It would have to be more like a pay per view event to make any substantial money back Link to post Share on other sites

I worked there during undergrad and studios rent out theaters for a certain amount of time for a flat rate and take in all the profit. Theaters make their money off concession items and their exclusive programs like AMC stubs Link to post Share on other sites
