Netflix and the Future of Event Cinema

Tue, 09/08/2015 - 09:25 -- Nick Dager

Let’s be clear about one thing: there is no such thing as alternative content. People do not leave the comfort of their homes to pay twenty dollars and more to sit in a movie theatre to watch something inferior or alternative. They gladly pay higher ticket prices because they enjoy events targeted at their specific interests. For big screens, great sound and comfortable reclining seats in a room with like-minded people. For the shared experiences of opera, theatre, concerts, sports, and more: a wide and growing range of programs. These aren’t alternatives to anything; these are events that, until only recently, people could never see this way. And let’s be clear about one more thing: Netflix will play a major roll in the future of event cinema.

For some going to see Terminator Genisys starting July 1 will mean having the chance to do something other than text or stare at the advertisements on the big screen before the movie starts.
