Craig H Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I ultimately was fine with the $20 or $30 rental price for new movies the couple times we did it because when the 3 of us go to a movie it's $27 to just get in to see the movie. With snacks it's another $20. Although I was pretty annoyed to rent Onward for $20 and then Disney+ put it on their service for free two weeks later.

AxB Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 That's not how they do business, is it? Disney don't want to sell you Popcorn. They want to sell you Disney Popcorn. Every other movie studio, their films are released in theatres, and then come out on Video/ DVD/ Blu-Ray. Disney movies are released in theatres and then come out on Disney Home Video, Disney DVD or Disney Blu-Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Pandemic aside, I would expect Disney to create and create their own theater chain. Can’t imagine they wouldn’t try to overrun Consent Decrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLSigman Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 So this is the first I've seen this promoted, and then it's ONLY IN THEATERS. Someone's trying to make sure this movie fails. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone's trying to make sure this movie fails. From the indiewire story Quote The film was scheduled to be released on August 21, 2020, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was pulled from the schedule — this first trailer says it’ll still be “only in theaters.” But making the film was such a herculean task, as producer King said during an August 6 virtual panel with Coogler, King, and Hampton’s son, Chairman Fred Hampton, Jr., because they knew that they wanted to tell the story on as large a canvas as possible. “I am a revolutionary,” Kaluuya screams repeatedly and urgently early in the trailer into a large Black crowd, who respond just as forcefully. And it never relents after that, promising a film that will likely provoke. The BBC says the release date is "early 2021" so it makes sense they are saying in theaters only In fact the only controversy I can find at the moment is some folks are upset that Daniel Kaluuya was cast (they don't like that he is British and feel that Fred Hampton should have been played by an American) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Played by an American"...shit, Lakeith is right there. I'm glad this is becoming a topic of conversation instead of "well, lets just cast anyone". Hell, Zoe Saldana just apologized the other day about the Nina Simone movie. Edited August 7, 2020 by Elsalvajeloco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I'm cynical enough to think that "Only in Theaters" means it wouldn't ever show up on streaming either, sadly. Considering the acting, at least they couldn't have found a better "actor that plays sociopaths" to take that Fed role than Jesse Plemons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonidas Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Any chance Donnie Yen and Jet Li have an old man fight in that? Or are Commander Tung and the Emperor on the same side? I'm expecting both their screen times to be less than two minutes combined, so I won't get my hopes up, but it would really brighten up my 2020 if they did.

Tabe Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Not gonna lie, I laughed at that trailer. No, it's not an original idea or concept in any way but I think it'll be good for some laughs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
