Comcast and Amazon join Apple in developing a delivery system for premium VOD titles that would be available for home viewing 30-45 days after debuting in theaters.
If Hollywood studios get their wish, a new premium video-on-demand service could finally be introduced in the first two months of 2018. One likely scenario: Consumers would pay $30 to rent a movie only 30 to 45 days after the film has opened in theaters.
That's less aggressive than some studios might want — there have been suggestions of making a movie available for $50 after 17 days — but the more modest $30 price point could help to soothe the frayed nerves of theater owners, as well as lure more consumers to hit the ”buy" button.

You got me f*cked up if you think I'm gonna spend an extra $20 on a movie ticket just so I don't have to leave my house. But then again, that's just me. Apparently, all of GAF has home theatres, 7.1 surround sound and neighbors who are deaf.
Thoughts?
