>AMC sent a letter to Universal saying that it will "no longer play any Universal movies in any of our theatres in the United States, Europe or the Middle East."
This is in response comments regarding the digital numbers for Trolls World Tour.
>Trolls World Tour racked up an estimated $100 million in premium VOD rentals in its first three weeks of play in North America, more than enough to put the film on the road to profitability, according to the conglomerate. That's not far behind the $116 million grossed by the original Trolls in its first three weeks at the 2016 domestic box office on its way to topping out at $153.7 million in the U.S. and Canada and nearly $347 million globally, not adjusted for inflation.
Source? Sounds incredibly selfish especially in the situation they are in right now
Colton Harris
kek. isnt there another jurassic park movie coming out next year?
Hunter Young
>n response comments regarding which comments, because i see dry facts there and nothing more
Asher Long
Always sucks seeing someone be petty during a breakup.
Brandon Russell
Not to mention Fast 9
James Ross
Seems like a hollow threat. I think not having those would hurt AMC more than Universal, and others might join in and get "banned". AMC is trying to throw its dick while it still can since theyre filing bankruptcy.
Samuel Stewart
Easily replaced by the numbers from doubling the screens showing TENET from Warner Bros
Ethan Williams
I always thought those Fast movies made their bank from Redbox rentals and $5 dvd sales at walmart.
The sound system is the main one, even with a home theatre, nothing compares to a movie theatre's sound The screen is way larger than 55 inches, also You're essentially paying for a premium experience
Zachary Taylor
Just as I thought, VOD rentals will be the future and the theater as we know it will go away.
There will still be niche theaters, but it will eventually largely be digital releases.
Jonathan Morgan
AMC won't be around 6 months from now so that's an empty threat.
Colton Ortiz
Someone want to break this down for my retarded ass?
Is AMC pissed at Universal for not holding Trolls until theaters reopen? And instead releasing on VOD and bragging about what a great and profitable move it was?
Jacob Cook
The thing is will they still be profitable when theatres reopen? A large chunk of the reason why Trolls 2 did well was because it was a highly anticipated kids movie sequel and it was the only way to watch it. Entire families got to watch it for 20 dollars. If it were in theatres, it likely would have made more considering the fact that even for a family of 4 it can cost up to 40-50 dollars, not including 3D tickets and other premiums.
Angel Collins
Read You're on the right track, it's more that they did it without consulting NATO first and laying out a plan. There's a reason why they aren't mad at Disney for releasing Onward early or any of the other early releases
I'm guessing this is something like 'National Association of Theater Owners' and not fucking 'North Atlantic Treaty Organization'?
Oliver Cruz
Naw its North Atlantic Treaty Organization. All the allied powers will soon be going to war over Trolls.
David Russell
Surprised it took them this long to figure it out.
Elijah Garcia
An experience with really bad chairs, commercials out the ass, and previews I don't wanna see (which I can't avoid because the start time is never fucking accurate). Surrounded by faggots that can't shut up. Kids kicking seats. Babies crying. The only time I enjoy a theater is when there is nobody else in it. I tend to wait for movies to almost be pulled, before I go see them, just so I can not be surrounded by mouth breathers.
PS I hate you all.
Brandon Martin
Stop watching capeshit faggot and maybe the kids will leave you alone
Adrian Harris
the kino experience, user.
Leo Howard
>Seems like a hollow threat. Obviously, since cinemas don't have a business model without films, whereas production companies can always find another distributor.
Liam Thomas
Dammit not again, as a veteran of the first troll wars this could get ugly, this time they won't fall for our counter trolling tactics
Jacob Adams
You could just go during the weekday mornings instead of the weekend Start times are when trailers start, not the movie itself The amount of trailers depends on how long the movie has been out The thing with the chairs is valid, the only alternative is to bring your own seat cushion but that's cumbersome
James Lee
What a stupid threat. They'll have to modify their A list membership rates if they're going to ommit a bunch of movies from their screenings.
Kayden Perry
Isn't AMC filing bankruptcy?
Liam Anderson
Because seeing a film projected on a 50 foot screen with a massive audio system is amazing.
Christopher Hernandez
lmao how salty can you be because a troll movie did well during a lockdown and they said they might do some more digital releases
Benjamin Jenkins
lol theatres can die for all i care, imagine it being illegal for a studio to own a theatre and they have to share tickets with a theatre
Grayson Phillips
You're right. >TV will never be as big >audio will never be as good >walls not sound-proof, constant vrooming and "WHOOOOOOOOOODAT" >seat will never be as crusty
Daniel Parker
>nothing compares to a movie theatre's sound because you don't own surround sound at home
movie theatres are just big speakers, they don't even bother to try make shit equal
Leo Jones
Thank God I wasn't the only one.
David Hernandez
Because getting your feminine penis sucked by your boyfriend (female) is boring when it’s in your living room
Jaxon Wood
Yeah I do and they're nothing compared to the real thing and if you think so you're deaf It's a good approximation but not close enough to replace it
Jaxon Howard
If they do this movie prices will most likely double to compensate for you and your friends being in the room watching it. So this will be a friends tax put on you hope you have friends
Owen Taylor
I kinda hope AMC survives this one, bros. They were kino.
