if you are a family of 5, going to the cinema, buy the time you have purchased tickets, drinks popcorn etc , for that same cost you could subscribe to Netflix for 12 months, the cinema has its place but its starting to become one hell of a luxury.
The streaming at home prices were ~£16I’ve got no sympathy for cinemas at all they charge a lot

Watch The Invisible Man | Prime Video
From Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions, producers of the blockbuster thrillerswww.amazon.co.uk
So would you rather pay £16 to rent the film to watch on your TV at home or pay anything from £5-£30 (your choice) to watch it on a massive screen at the cinema?
I’d choose the cinema.
Well I certainly would not have wanted my first experience of watching IW/Endgame to have been at home, rather than at the cinema.Depends on the quality of the cinema and your home experience I guess lol
It really depends. My family would rather not watch a big blockbuster on a tiny TV with tinny speakers, so go to the cinema.
Phew thank God I don't have a tinny tv and speakers.It really depends. My family would rather not watch a big blockbuster on a tiny TV with tinny speakers, so go to the cinema.
At home far betterThe streaming at home prices were ~£16

For £16?At home far better
Just pay the £16 and invite your neighbours around to watch it.For £16?
I’d feel ripped off if charged that much to rent that for home. Not feel so much to watch it at the cinema though.
You know this is a forum for owners of high end home cinema kit, don't you?It really depends. My family would rather not watch a big blockbuster on a tiny TV with tinny speakers, so go to the cinema.
I second that!Interesting. Despite loving movies I hate going to the cinema. Far, far too expensive, uncomfortable seats, lots of noisy people with smelly food and phones they can't stop fiddling with. Plus most cinema screens look terrible anyway, my OLED looks vastly superior.
Cinemas will lose this battle. They had their chance and they blew it.
It’s worked for the cinema chains before.I have a great setup in my home but I still love going to the cinema for big releases. Although AMC are being a little too hasty here imo.
