There still isn't a movie streaming service with as much selection as an old video store. Meanwhile Spotify has just about everything.

- pmtarantino 7y agoThe problem for me isn't the old ones - is the new ones. I want to see the new movies at my house. Yeah, there are films that I'd like to see at the cinema, but those are less than 5 per year. But if I could pay to watch a new film in the comfort of my home, I'd do it. As I can't, I'll probably download it for free.
- nine_k 7y agoWould you pay for it as much as a movie ticket costs? The movie industry goal is to improve box office, not your experience, but these two are linked.
- chupasaurus 7y agoSame thing was with music industry and guess what? Their revenue from streaming is way lower.
- lagadu 7y agoAt this point is feels like their goal is to get me to pirate as much as possible, lets see my anecdotal data point: Music - Tidal covers about >95% of my music consumption. TV shows - I have netflix and and prime, these cover maybe 75% of my tv consumption. Films - Going to the cinema covers 10-20% maybe? I go to the cinema about 5-10 times a year and I pirate the rest because I don't have a good enough service to get those from legally.
- pmtarantino 7y agoFor some films? Yeah, I'd do it.
- Vomzor 7y agoGood news then: https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-prima-cinema-2016-5?international=true&r=US&IR=T https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-prima-cinema-2016-5?... It will only cost you a 35000 dollar setup fee and 500 dollar to watch a movie.
- jplayer01 7y agoThey even do a background check. This is crazy interesting.
- docbrown 7y agoCriterion’s streaming service covers this pretty well. Kanopy — if you have access via your local library — also has a large selection of lesser-known and older films.
