$30 is too much to watch a movie on TV. I don't care how you slice it. It doesn't matter if taking a family of 4 to the theater costs more than $30. I go alone and my theater only costs $7.50 and I don't buy the overpriced popcorn and soda either. But none of that matters even if it did cost $30 at the theater it shouldn't cost $30 at home because home is not the theater, it's your TV. Back when we rented movies from Blockbuster they didn't charge based on taking a family of 4 to the theater. I can buy a DVD for $20 and show it to my family a hundred times over the next 10 years if I want. So, no I'm not paying $30 to watch a movie on TV or even worse on a computer or tablet. The difference is that movies at Blockbuster had their run in the theaters. Disney is trying to find a way to make money outside of theaters. I suppose they should be happy charging everyone $5.99 and banking 300 mil? No, that's not how the future is going to be. If we want big epic Disney movies in a post COVID world we're going to have to pay for them.

And please stop with the theories that this is gonna hurt theaters. Itโs not. Theaters elsewhere have been playing older movies and have been fine. Theaters will come back STRONGER next year.
I hope you're right, unfortunately most polls say most people WON'T return to theaters when they open, our own is currently showing older movies and averaging 30-40 people a day, in a 4 room theater that can seat 70 people per room, something's really going to have to pick up for them to be anywhere near job secure.
The theater manager brought this up too, only he'd heard it was a $20 rental, and as he pointed out and I wholeheartedly agree with, you might BUY a movie for $20 to watch it over and over and over, but for a 1 time rental? That's not happening.

Well here's the thing.
I don't care about big epic Disney movies. They stopped being great after Lilo and Stitch, coincidentally the last movie I saw in our old 2-room theater before it was closed down, then torn down and replaced with our new one.
