Plus I can pause to pee, vape away, set the volume on my surround sound exactly where I want, etc. And my 84” 4K DV/HDR+ OLED may not be a gigantic silver screen, but I enjoy it. Combined with 120TB of storage for Plex, I’m more than happy to wait for the bluray remux.

I used to fucking ADORE going to the movies - but nowadays, it needs to be a spectacular spectacular. Last movie I saw in the theater was Top Gun 2, and it was worthy.

No. Marketing typically equals production costs. So $400mm production + $400mm marketing = $800mm breakeven.
