[quote=Allaby]Where do you guys usually buy or rent digitally from?  

I like the itunes store.  Sometimes they have special features and the usually have some good sales on.  You can often find some good titles on sale to buy for 4.99 or 6.99.[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]Till the internet drops or a storm comes through reducing that HD down to 720.

:D[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]Rentals right now are right about on the line of what I'll consider, which I guess is a sign they're priced well. :laugh:

Where it gets silly is where the HD version of the rental is $4.99, and buying the film is like $12.99...that can be rough, particularly when you're almost positive you won't want or need to "own" it.

But, convenience is still great, so I can't complain too much.[/quote]

[quote=Allaby][quote=ynwtf]Dang. I think for 20 U.S. you can make a digital purchase on Amazon. And several movies are releasing direct to HBOnow for their base monthly sub. 

Re: theater rentals, I think here are $100 for a private screening with friends + concession expenses.[/quote]

I'm in Canada, so digital purchases/rentals are sometimes more expensive here.  We can't get HBO max in Canada.[/quote]

[quote=Allaby][quote=Austruck][quote=Allaby][quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]Has anybody been pulling the trigger on $20 “home theatrical” release movies? 

I understand the price accounting for multiple viewers, but where is the math behind this? Do they know that nobody watches movies by themself.

First blush is these films would do better @ $10.[/font][/quote]

Yeah, I rented Promising Young Woman for 24.99.  I loved the film so I don't regret it.  I also rented News of the World for 24.99 when it first came out.  That was good, but not great.  Most recently, I rented Judas nd the Black Messiah for 24.99.  It was excellent.[/quote]

Wow, do you mean "rented," as in having to give it back within a day or two? That sounds really expensive--like, you could have just bought them outright for prices like that.[/quote]

I agree, it is expensive, but there was no purchase option.  I rented it from the itunes store.  A rental only lasts for 48 hours after watching it, then it disappears.[/quote]

Around here you can now rent the whole movie theater for a reasonable price and invite a fair amount of friends to go watch the movie of your choice in an actual theater together. I have a friend who did this recently with a half dozen or so friends... and they said the price was reasonable per person and they got to go to an actual theater.[/quote]

Oh sure.. but not overnight. :) It's hard enough to get decent sleep in the roomette, let alone in the coach car. :D[/quote]

[quote=Allaby][quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]Good to see I wasn�t the only one to see [i]Bloodshot[/i].

It will always be remembered as my last movie seen in a theater :suspicious:[/font][/quote]

I saw Bloodshot too.  I thought it was pretty mediocre though.[/quote]
