All this BS with Disney charging people numerous times to see a movie... an idea which saw Mulan (2020) spectacularly bomb at a loss of $400m... got me thinking.
Disney+ is £6 a month in the UK.
Plus, this new greedy ploy of charging an extra £20 to watch a movie on their site.
That's £26... plus say, buying in some snacks from the local shop.
Let's round it up to £35.
£35... to watch a movie at home.
Going to the cinema, it's around £10 for a ticket depending on the time of day you go, then I admit, you do get stung for the food.
If you buy food from the local shop though and sneak it into the cinema, you can get away with around £20.
Buying food AT the cinema, maybe stick £15 on the £10 ticket.
So, maximum £25 if you buy a comfy seat and snacks from the cinema's overpriced shop.
But, you get the big screen experience. Big screen, big sound.
I've never been a fan of online movies. Dodgy JPG-artefact-riddled picture with tinny digitised sound...
... but I never thought I'd see the day when going to the cinema was cheaper than watching a movie at home.
Thoughts?
