Just got my ticket for 9PM Thursday to the nearest AMC. Had to wait in the 50min queue a 2nd time (Fandango) took 2 more tries at the purchase screen until it finally went through, that's after battling to get to the Seat reservation page. Shit is totally fucked but I'm almost dead center of the theater.
Regarding PPV: $100 is too cheap as long as theaters can charge $15-20 per ticket. You'll have viewing parties with 20+ people.
Movies like this would need to charge a lot more. Plus DVR means no re-watch revenue.

Was half planning on seeing this opening night, but fuck that. Will probably wait a week at least until it calms down. Nothing worse than sitting next to a bunch of hyper nerds gasping every time one of their favorite superheroes comes on screen.
I took my wife to see the Last Jedi opening night, and the guy next to my wife was having a fucking conniption every time Luke started talking.

I'm not avoiding assholes in the movie theater just so I can invite them into my house for a higher price. I can't scratch my balls in front of people, even if I like them. Gotta cleanup beforehand and then afterwards because wife. Can't wear pajamas. 20 people don't fit in most people's living rooms.
Nah bro.

There is a value to the movie going experience itself. The atmosphere created by other people around you, and the space occupied by them and yourself, affects the entire experience. Watching shit in your living room is a totally different thing. To me its not worth comparing the two on a purely financial scale.

So this happened when trying to buy tickets this morning...
Picked that third row seat, got to the check out page, logged into my account, clicked purchase.... Got a timeout/error response. Clicked purchase again, same response. Refreshed back to the seat selection...
FUCK.
So I load up the site on my PC, load up my account and... It registered the purchase against my account!

I agree with you and enjoy the theater atmosphere a lot. On the other hand just look at the the youtube reaction videos for GoT, sports, and other in home events. People are getting pretty good at making the home viewing experience good too. There is a price point that would make this work and $100 sounds like a decent starting point to me.

I think the energy and excitement "in the air" is what makes opening nights good... then again I'm not a misanthrope like some of ya (not saying that YOU are in particular, just saying) LoL.
Also it significantly minimizes yourself from accidentally being spoilered the sooner you see it... you don't have to play the self-quarantine game online with yourself and also, I don't trust dumbfuck FB friends from being too wordy about this and that and/or reposting spoilery shit just to be the first ones talking about this and that.
