Those Prime seats are amazing, and nobody will ever duplicate the feel or sound of a movie in their house, no matter how close they get. Movie going is as much an experience as the movie itself, imo.

So many more parts to this but I am too tired to get into it today. In short, the idea that kids are gonna stop going to movies is ridiculous, as they are the ones who drive ticket sales.

Also, no one giving foreign sales enough credit for their impact. It's why some people won't work with Netflix, because you don't actually own your content with foreign participation.

thats what competition will do. First one to give up the foreign piece to the artist, will open the floodgates.

Netflix notoriously pays composers pretty shitty as well.

I wouldn't be opposed to scoring a Netflix original but it would have to be something "easy" and in my "wheelhouse" in which I could crank out quickly because opposed to other networks, it's not worth the time.

So jealous of all the choices the rest of you have. We have two theaters in our city. One for first runs and the other for the cheap rerun. We have no Imax, no huge screens, no reclining seats, and no leg room. Its infuriating.

OH, and not to mention, our theaters cost more than the KC theaters 70 miles away.

I have 0. The closest one is 50 miles away and it is hot garbage.

I know that you guys live more than 2,000 miles away from me but I often forget how life can be so much different there than where I live.

I guess that maybe I take all these amenities for granted.

Thanks for the reminder.

yeah l was bitching in one of these threads about the closest theatre to me not having the recliner seats. I’ve got another 3 state of the art theatres within 15-25 minutes of my house. I was assuming it was that way in most non-rural Areas.

I see how many options there are in KC alone and also when I visit Omaha. It just pisses me off how Topeka is so damned backwards. Shit, even Lawrence has a theater with recliners for crying out loud.

That said, I know if Topeka upgraded their theater whey would also upgrade the pricing. Its already more expensive than a KC theater. I'd hate to see what they would charge for Imax here. Would probably rival California prices.

I think producers/directors/screen writers are guilty of the same.

In a lot of films they honestly don't think they've put political themes/messaging in their work but to anyone not on either coast it's heavy handed.

And I think brand name has a big influence on if someone is willing to plop down $50 for a family of 4 to go watch a flick out. I can only think of two (Marvel and early Pixar) studios that continually put out a solid product and you EXPECT the next one you watch to be as good or better.

Once you've established this type of positive relationship with the ticket-buyer even your 3 star movies bring in 4 star profits...

guess theatres will survive anyway, but maybe only in moderately big towns, where there are enough people to spend their money on the show. most will inevitably stick to netflix and the like
