There are already huge issues with Disney (maybe other studios as well) writing in long theatrical runs into their contracts; if a theater licenses a new release they're obligated to run it for a certain amount of time, which isn't necessarily a good business decision and requires the theater to gamble on the movie appealing to the public for up to a month. It results in a model where you pay a mint to screen Captain America 8, so you have to hype it up and flood your screens with it up front to try and get that opening-weekend audience to recoup the cash you're going to lose four weeks later when you're staring down the barrel of an empty Captain America 8 screening room.

The opposite end of that model is what Alamo does: it's cheaper and more profitable to license out one or two two Terminator 2 screenings, pack the house out, and profit off cheeseburgers and beer. I'd imagine/hope Sony knows which side their bread is buttered on and doesn't mess with that.

Agree Die another day was a poor Bond movie in every way

Cinema is doomed. I just saw a report on my local news saying that summer box offices are down 28% from last summer and their plan at saving the summer movie season is goofy “collectible” popcorn buckets. No one is going to the movie theater for a popcorn bucket. What do you do with your giant collectible popcorn bucket once the movie is over? That’s gonna take up a lot of cupboard space, not to mention you would have to pop like 6 bags of microwave popcorn to fill it up.

i agree with this. at the end of day, a movie theater is for the movies; it’s not a shopping mall, i am not there for souvenirs or silly merchandise. i am there to see a film i am interested in.

BUT… i do have to admit i’m a hypocrite.. 😓

i got this fella* in universal studios last year, and i bring him with me every time i go to the movies. he fits about a small popcorn bag serving inside of him, which is just the right amount for me anyways, so it’s a win

Pirates Of The Caribbean

Will is extra annoying (and looks like a douchebag for majority of movie), Elizabeth has been upgraded to annoying (but still hot), Beckett and Mercer have very satisfactory deaths. Too many plot lines, too many characters, wedding during climax was stupid, Will is stupid.
