Though I have always enjoyed films much more in a theater than at home or on a computer, I can’t imagine a time where if you failed to see a film in theaters you may not ever see it or if you loved a film you would have to hope it returns to the theaters at some point. However, one of the disadvantages that we did not mention last class about films being available outside theaters is that people are less inclined to see a film in theaters because they know that they will be on DVD in a few months. I know I have not seen certain films in theaters because I felt like I could just rent it later. Also we have often heard about people back in the day lining up outside theaters to see a film life Star Wars and seeing it multiple times. Though people do see films multiple times today, I think the threat that you won’t get an opportunity to see the film once it leaves theaters compelled people to watch films they like many times in theaters. I’m sure the ability to watch films on DVD or through streaming has hurt many films ticket sales.
