People love Blockbusters! They go out in their millions when blockbusters are released! There is a reason why blockbusters make £100s Millions! Streaming websites like Netflix and Amazon are rubbish and the content is rubbish! The prices are always going up! I would much rather pay £9.99 for an unlimited cinema card for each of the family! Than pay £12.99 for Netflix and £9.99 for Amazon! As a lot of people I would get a lot more joy from leaving the house for 3 hours with the kids than sat in front of the TV! People like family time and cinemas bring that experience!
