At this point is that a big insult? TV shows these days are looking as good as big budget movies.
Totally disagree.
Very few people have a setup that will come close to the experience you get at the theater.
Love them which is why I have the right setup at home actually m8sorry you hate movies
I don't have time to go to a movie. I work.
I don't think that's the problem, more that theaters are refusing to let Netflix movies be exhibited because Netflix refuses to give theaters a window of exclusivity. Their reasoning is that if given the choice to pay $12-$20 to see a film in a theater versus at home, consumers will pick the home everytime. And why shouldn't they? Theater tickets are pricy, refreshments pricier, seats are uncomfortable, people can be rude and ruin the experience, and so on and so forth. There's nothing a theater can do to beat Netflix without cutting into said chain's profit margin.He's right. The fact that Netflix barely released Okja and Beasts of No Nation in theaters is an insult to the very films they finance. They should do what Amazon does with a limited arthouse run with possibility of a wide-expansion, but then right on Netflix within a month of leaving theaters.
Benefit of living in the middle of nowhere. $5.50 matinee everyday. I saw Baby Driver last week, 5.50, and I was the only one in the theater.

The experience at home is good enough so that I don't have to deal with assholes at the theater.
The theater experience at its best is better than watching at home, 9 times out of 10.
Where the fuck do you go for that? Even matinees are like 11$ for me. Are you an employee for a theatre or something?

I'm talking about Netflix made movies (which I assume is what Nolan is referring to). They aren't very good. Plus show me a Netflix Original that looks as good as something like Planet of the Apes
They're under no obligation to, but they're denying themselves revenue and denying the public the option to get the theater experience.
I agree w/ Nolan on this, it's a bad call on their part to eschew it for movies. TV's different.

wtf are people talking about...."get with the time Nolan"
uhhh we have 2 movies that made over a billion worldwide in theaters this year lol
He's right. The cinema is a different experience to watching films at home and I'd hate to see it go away. Okja was definitely a film that would have worked in the cinema. It would have made a fair bit of money.

Well said.Artificial scarcity shouldn't be a selling point. If the theater experience is worth it then customers will watch movies there instead of at home. Reality is for many people the theater experience is not worth it.
Sooner cinemas die the better.
Why would think releasing a movie in theater would prevent you from doing that?From his perspective, I get it. He loves cinema. He likes IMAX.
I do too, but sometimes I want to just sit back and watch a movie at home, you know?
This is the very definition of old man yells at cloud. You're old news, Nolan. People watch movies on their phones these days for fuck's sake.

Yup. I get the convenience of watching at home, but there's nothing like the shared experience of a going out to a dope theater and falling into the film through a massive screen. It's worth the occasionally shitty people you have to put up with.
My girlfriend is an AT&T customer, which offers bogo movie tickets every Tuesday, so we watch a movie for a combined $12 every week. Tuesday is also half off popcorn day, so for $3.xx more, we get a giant popcorn.

Not really.They're under no obligation to, but they're denying themselves revenue and denying the public the option to get the theater experience.
Some of their film festival pick-ups have been good. I would definitely agree that their full-on Netflix-made movies aren't too hot, though.
They haven't really made a series like Planet of the Apes so I don't have a comparison but stuff like Marco Polo or Narcos is easily comparable to similar movie releases.
Can you say with certainty that the only reason people paid to see those movies is because they were in a theater? Would they not have paid a similar price (if not even a bit more) to have the convenience of watching it at home?
