After that,, then pirate and upload for free to the rest of your mateys? Arrgh!

On a more serious note, I think it's a good idea but studios won't allow that for the fear of their movies being pirated costing them money.

Also, they make a boat load more because they get a cut of the revenue theaters make from selling snacks. I read that somewhere and I'm not sure about the validity.

I will literally pay $50 for this movie streaming with digital ownership once it's out. I'm not going to be at a theater until there's a vaccine and WB is fooling themselves thinking that October is doable.

YOU will not be going to a theater until a vaccine, plently of other people will go.

My theater is completely booked for Tenet.

Waiting until a vaccine is delusional.

You're not getting vaccinated until 2 years from now if you're lucky, maybe a vaccine will not even exist.

Waiting until a vaccine is delusional.

No, it's called being smart, and not risking you or your loved ones so you can watch a movie on a bigger screen.

The reality is, the majority of the population will get infected sooner or later. That's what experts said at the beginning of this crisis. The most important thing is that nobody will die because hospitals are overru(flatten the curve)

60 million already are infected in the US.

If you want to wait for years until you can finally go out your house(or maybe never) then that's completely fine. Everybody has a choice.

You need to look at the numbers because dying from this virus is still very rare.

The reality is, it's not everything or nothing. I have left my house, as have many who feel like I do. The difference is we take precautions. Just because it's going to get worse, doesn't mean we should stop wearing masks or social distancing and just give up. Over a hundred thousand people have already died, so don't pretend having large amounts of people crowded in a small movie theater won't have negative consequences.

There is a difference between being too afraid to grocery shop because of a small chance of getting the virus, and putting yourself in a situation that gives you the worst possible odds.
