Films still in the cinema being moved to streaming

[Camelot1971]

I saw that due to CV some streaming services are now showing films that are still in the cinema. However, the price for renting is just rediculous!

Chili want £15.99 to RENT Invisible Man! They can FRO.

Good ol' movie industry, ripping people off whenever they can.

Does this represent a cost increase over what they would normally offer or is it a case of thats what they always charge and you are only now just noticing it is a service they offer? Not looking to attack just curious.

It's a new thing for the very latest films that would still be in the cinema, but when films do move to rental, they are usually £3.49 to £4.99, depending. Making it triple the price just because the film has moved to the home rental market a month or so earlier is taking the pee in my book.

I would be quite happy if that was an OWN IT price.

so these Films are now Streamable but it costs too much..


If only there was a way round that

2 cinema tickets - over £20.
BT sports boxing PPV £25.

Cinemas are closed, but the industry has created an option to watch the latest films. Either suck it up, wait, or take a risk and watch in lower quail it’s through a streaming service. I don’t think it’s unreasonable.

Onward is going to be on Disney+ on April 3rd.

For that price I'd expect them to provide the full cinema experience of covering your floor with an unknown sticky substance, make you watch 30 minutes of adverts and hire a teenager to sit in from of you and talk to their mates for the duration.

This.....plus a complementary dose of coronavirus from the infected bloke two rows back coughing his lungs up.

personally I think its taking the proverbial - but then I'll happily wait several months for it to become a more reasonable price

Yes because the people from the tea boy to directors who have worked for years making a film, have done it free of charge.

Also £15.99 is for a household to watch it, go to the cinema and it will be PER PERSON.

The Lovebirds, a Kumail Nanjiani rom com movie due for cinemas in April, is going to Netflix instead. https://www.engadget.com/2020/03/22/paramount-the-...
