Opening weekends for the Fast and Furious franchise averages at $75M, with #7 being well out in the lead at almost $150M. We'll see where #9 stacks up at the end of the day.
But you just said you are watching the movies at home????
are you anti movie theaters or anti the movie industry ????
You are the one not understanding him. I understood him just fine. He is saying that the movie industry making money via movie theaters is on the decline due to people now watching at home or on their devices. This is true.
Yay! Another superhero movie!
Yay! Another Fast & Furious movie!
Yay! Another crappy Star Wars movie to further destroy the franchise!
Yay! Another remake or reboot or new timeline or whatever for some '80s story!
It's pathetic.
IMO, it confirms my long standing opinion that for decades now, children have been taught what to think, not how to think. There's no creativity anymore. The last few decades of kids are programmed/programmable robots. It was inevitable that they would grow up and enter these industries.
This. What with Netflix, Amazon and a host of others along with large HDTVs and great sound systems who needs a movie theater?
I don't miss hearing people talking, looking at their phones and overpriced popcorn.

I tend to agree, but I'd imagine every generation as it ages looks at today's youth and has similar sentiments. I can imagine what someone from the greatest generation thought as the sexual revolution was starting to occur in the 60's, that this was the end of the world, the culture was going to smut. They were partly right, partly wrong. In the end culture always changes. Today's 10 year olds when they are 50 will think the world is coming to an end when looking at their youth.
The culture is going to do what it's going to do, I have a certain level of acceptance over it. I've never been in sync with modern pop culture and have always been a bit of an outcast anyways and I'm fine with that. The culture is too shallow and materialistic for me.
I haven't been in theater since 2002. Nothing to do with masks or the politics of Hollywood. Here's why, in no particular order:
1) Rude fellow movie goers
2) Better picture quality and vastly superior sound quality a home
3) I can't sit still for 2 hours straight, so I watch movies in chunks over a day or two.
4) Inconvenience. I have to change out of my jammies, drive to the theater, park, wait in line for tickets, wait for the movie to start, then drive back home again.
Any republican who spends a dime at the theatre needs to think long and hard about where that money goes
Well, if it's all about politics for you, then you need to be more honest and disciplined with yourselves: any republican who spends a dime on ANY Hollywood entertainment needs to think long and hard about where that money goes.
What difference does it make whether you watch the latest blockbuster at the movie theatre, or at home 6 months later? How does avoiding the movie theatre but eagerly binge-watching a Netflix series serve to sock it to those Hollywood liberals?
Cherry-picking your boycott of "Hollywoke" so that you're not deprived of your favorite entertainment is pointless. A protest of any kind is supposed to, like, actually make a strong statement.
