Sweet, I haven’t seen it as of yet but will as soon as it’s on MAX. 

In addition to home entertainment equipment getting better, I think the other big factor is the theater experience getting worse.

Throw in Covid not having gone away and there are still plenty of people who have no interest in catching it.

I have said the same thing for YEARS. It’s not like when I was young and you had to wait a year, maybe more, for a home release, this SUPER short theater to home release pipeline has to hurt the BO. Not a lot of reason to go see it on the big screen, which does have it’s advantages, when you can wait a couple months…

A big reason more horror releases hit in the middle/end of summer now, is that they bank on the VOD and physical media release sales to kick up by October/Halloween season. They miss that boat if they theatrically release the movie in October and have the horror movie hit home release around Xmas/winter.

It was pretty good only real problem is after they find the coffin they sort of leave it alone and don’t try to kill it in the daylight. Also Dracula looks like a monster the whole time yet the guy who plays him looks like he would have been a superb human dracula that we don’t see.

When a movie is in theaters usually the best you can hope for is a really good HD cam recording, but a VOD copy is always light years better. I guess the next step is a Blu-ray rip, but I can’t tell the difference. Maybe there’s a difference at 4K.

Barbie aside since it obviously made a ton of money, but this trend is one my theories as to why movie box offices are down. There’s little reason to go to a theater to see a movie when you can just wait a few weeks and watch it at home. Home entertainment equipment is good enough nowadays that its just not worth it…

VOD means high quality pirate copies will be available almost immediately afterword. Not that I’d know anything about that.

It’s not free streaming; it’s VOD.  It’s gonna cost money; the smart money is free streaming around Thanksgiving.

Yep. Happens quite often these last few years.

The producers of The Demeter should have simply waited. Just because it’s a horror flick shouldn’t have limited it to a summer showing. It’s all dark and serious and, most important, British. Perfect for Fall.

Can they show in theatres and stream at the same time?

I think the problem with expecting people to get through Clone Wars is that a) it skews younger than the all-ages feel the franchise typically goes for and b) the level of quality is very spotty, especially early on. There’s a reason those “essential episodes” guides are so popular.

I’m really curious how this show is going to work. I was “too old” for The Clone Wars when it came out and Rebels sort of came and went without me taking much notice. Last year, my wife and I started watching The Clone Wars because it seems to be the basis of so much of the new Star Wars canon. But we fell off…

They had a lawful warrant. We don’t get to decide which laws we follow or don’t follow. If a cop shows up at your house with a warrant, and you say “Nah, I disagree with the judge here..” guess what? The cop is going to come in anyway. The only reason Twitter was able to get away with this, while you can’t, is because…

Right? Pretty easy solution here. Our justice system seems exceptionally allergic to charging rich people with crimes

What a little goober Elon is. Just an amazing ability to show how small and unintelligent he has always been.

Charge Musk with obstruction.  You know he did it.
