Apple is rumoured to be negotiating with studios to bring "latest in theatre" movie's to iTunes at the same time.

 

Refer: Apple Negotiating to Offer Rentals for Movies Still in Theaters, but at a Price

 

If, as the articles insinuates, the studios want US$25 to US$50, it will still be cheaper for say a family of 4 to stream/download at home, especially if you have a home theatre with large screen set-up; comfy clean seats, cheaper eats & drinks & pause for comfort breaks whenever.

 

The Movie Houses will not like this.

 

 





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

As a kid i remember my parents taking us to the civic theatre, buying tickets for hte little booth on Queen st, the multitudes of stairs dark wood, gold statues etc, there was something special about a trip into the city and to the movies, then there was the stars on the ceiling and the lions. I really wish some of the old school charisma could be brought back to the movie world, it would be nice of the experience reflected the cost
