I would totally stay home.

I would too.Depends on cost though.What i've read in the past is they might charge 50 bucks for home service.They did it with The Force Awakens in Canada.
$50 would be a gamble. If I was completely confident it would be good, I would do it. Driving, parking, standing in line, expensive and lame snacks, loud kids, driving home etc- I would drop the cash to avoid that BS.
For stuff like Alien or Star Wars movies - definitely need to watch it in a cinema. For other films, home might an option. If the internet connection was reliable.
It would be totally worth it if a group of friends chipped in and made a private party of it.
That would be great.Though i would replace friends with family.Don't have many friends.
nin- me either, but my dog digs everything I like lol.
SM- The theater experience is superior, but I would sacrifice it for absolute silence and no interruptions and streaming is no issue here although that can be a problem in other areas.
Everyone would chip in.I would provide food and drinks.Also found out i was wrong about Star Wars in Canada.
My math was off. For 4 it would be about $13 per person. Still a bargain for those choosing that method.
Sounds unlikely since theaters are worried they won't sell enough snacks according to Wired. DVD/bluray it is then! I can wait. Screw popcorn sales.
Really?Snacks?I buy my snacks from the 99 cent store and smuggle them in.Too damned expensive at the theater.Snacks what a joke.
With blockbusters making more and more money every year, I can't imagine they'd undercut themselves like this.
Besides what to stop someone renting out a hall and playing the film on a projector for 50 people.
I buy the occasional bag of popcorn,but it never really gets eaten.Kind of a waste of money,though it is my fault for not eating it.
With three kids we usually buy popcorn. The prices are fairly galling - but it does taste good.
