- jwcrux 13y agoMany of the movies people torrent are new releases so that they don't have to pay the high price of going to the cinema to see it.
- slashdotaccount 13y agoWhat I'm saying is that the new movies are not available in DVDs so there are no quality pirate releases (only unwatchable camera rips) unless there is a leaked copy of the movie (very rare).
- unknownian 13y agoNew movies get DVDs for special screenings or for the Academy.
- Morphling 13y agoI have no idea what kind of money companies get from DVDs, but if we where to go to a world where I would have to go to cinema to see every movie I'm interested in then I'd just stay home and watch horrible Cam rips. I have no desire to go to cinema and pay ridiculous amounts of money for movie tickets and whatever shit they are passing as food these days, I want to stay home and enjoy the movie not listen as some kids giggle next to me.
- joshstrange 13y agoCan you explain your reasoning behind > Hollywood studios (should) make their money in cinemas I'd be just as happy if all movies went straight to streaming, I'd even be ok with higher prices closer to the release if they did drop down to reasonable levels after a period of time. I personally have grown to hate going to the theater, I find it much more enjoyable to watch movies in the comfort of my home without people talking, babies crying, and teenage girls on their cell phones the whole time. Not to mention I refuse to pay for concessions which are extremely over priced.
