Cinemas don't own content, studios do. It makes far more sense for streaming platforms to gobble up studios.
Streaming has somewhere to show its content and those places are free to them - our homes.

Not saying it can't or will never happen, just don't see it as their best move currently.

We have 5 days to confirm or otherwise latest thread on takeover is pile of 5h1te or not.

Freedom of speech isn't only for Napoleon and his few fellow pigs ;-)

Also, good publicity here and big multiplex opening.

Aye.

You clearly know everything then, I bow to your superiority.

I know very well what is and what is not "normal" to see as set of trailers before films.
Been an unlimited card holder for number of years and at times go several times per week.

However, thanks for the link to article on the subject.

I fully understand a number of trailers most times play before the film ffs.
Not often you get 4 of the expected MEGA movies all trailered before film though.
It's not trailers or how many, it is THE movies trailered my point.
You deliberately being obtuse?

From a mix of trailers, many average ones to having FOUR of the really big ones due this year all shown before one film.

Think you have (deliberately or otherwise) completely missed my (positive) point.

Cinema tonight was probably as expected (due to 'the game") very quiet.
However something I noted was pre movie trailers.
Not sure how this part of cinematic business works. Do the studios pay per trailer for their movies?
Is it part of getting their movies to screen the cinema chains have to air trailers X amount of times?
Don't know.
However tonight it was seriously ramped up from what it has been so far.
Trailers included : FF9, Black Widow, Suicide Squad, Venom!
That's 4 of the years major movies all advertised at one time!!

All stems from your bestie mate Robin ;-)
Clearly has issues.

Must be bin day, lot of garbage talk of rubbish ;-)

It is indeed Cruis, thought it was brilliantly filmed.
Most of us probably have a relative or friend that has suffered this awful condition so sure most would find similar to yourself.

When the SP heads north at some future point we all win Bonkers, Ash and anyone else around/interested :-)

No winners/losers in chat, unless it's me than off course there is ;-) (for avoidance of any doubt by anyone that's joke).
:-) :-)
One week now for FF9, really looking forward to it :-)

Australia/New Zealand.
It's all done right or wrong now. None of our talking about what is largely past will make us enough from Cine shares to get the biscuits out so let's move on.
Shall be VERY happy when the main chat is about the business and same for wider life when number one chat is NOT covid.
Happy Thursday, the eve of the Jockaneese pumping Engurland ;-)

* last part may be said somewhat in jest*

Bonkers should have been no colours, it should have been closed borders full stop.
For those that absolutely had to travel then proper quarantine, not go home passing your virus along the way and please stay in if you can.
We say we will check on you, but we won't. If we do then a mobile number is sufficient where you could be absolutely anywhere at the time and job at say you are home.
Your point re: China is exactly why traffic light systems a joke.
Now we have amber where you are apparently not meant to go, but NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is really stopping anyone.
Why are there even flights that anyone other than crucial workers/specific reasons can get on?

Can we claim some form of compensation from those that keep saying it is going to rocket soon if it doesn't? ;-)
