Current Events > Why bother seeing movies in theaters anymore, it'll be on DVD in 3 weeks anyway.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Black Panther came out on DVD yesterday and it feels like it was in theaters less than a month ago. I'm seriously thinking of just waiting to buy Infinity Wars it's probably cheaper too.

didn't black panther come out in january?

I think it's still in theaters xD

Right? My 40 foot tv in my home theater is just as good and I don't have to deal with other people.

It came out 3 months ago. 3 months is not 3 weeks

Movies come out typically 3 months after release

You go to movies to experience a live reaction with strangers. It's like going to Anime conventions. You get to put away your normie mask and geek out with a bunch of strangers.

This year has had some movies with staying power. Jumanji was still in the top 20 grossing movies after it was available to rent.

I hate theaters personally. And Ive been paranoid about bed bugs...thr movie theater is one of the worst places to get bed bugs.

I preordered Black Panther on my PS4. Watched it last week, amazing movie.

Also someone made a topic recently asking if it was okay to spoil IW now that most everyone has seen it. Probably not serious, but still.

It's pretty kewl to watch movies whenever you want, like take breaks checking out the BBQ and coming back in and watch where you left off or whatever.

Let's sit somewhere dozens of other people of questionable hygiene have sat in for 2-3 hours!

-oh look, someone's eating crab legs
-oh no I spilled my popcorn on the convenor belt
-hmmm... what should I put on my popcorn from the flavor dispenser.... pizza flavored sauce or taco seasoning?
-oh shucks I forgot to get a bib from the condiments table and I made a mess. I better hope there isn't a long line at the showers
-oh sweet. A nude scene. huh?! the movie paused? oh shoot security is roaming the aisles and I forgot my "nudity license"

Because it's a better experience, especially from directors that still understand how much a theater enhances viewing experience.

tbh he's not wrong. 99% of people that give a fuck about IW spoilers have seen the movie since it's been out for 4 weeks. It came out 4 Thursdays ago

An anime convention has
>people of similar interests
>cosplaying
>meet ups with other people/strangers
>interviews with voice actors, producers, celebs, whatever
>lots of merch
>lots of events, plays, masquerades
>weabfood
>booths of all kinds, gaming, drawing, tabletop games, collectibles, card games, whatever
>really fat and unhygienic white guys and creepy middle eastern "professional photographers"

A movie has
>a lot of really fat and unhygienic white guys(if its marvel/star wars crap, which seem to make up 90% of the shows)
>20$ for a cup of popcorn smothered in vegetable oil
>40 year old soccer moms and her 7 potentially illegitimate children shouting and making a mess
>seating that hasn't been cleaned in 3 months and makes the 7$ indian buffet toilets look good

Totally the same bro
