(23,612 posts)There are so many shows and movies that go right to streaming. Endless things to watch.
And with movies that are at the theater, it's not longer several months to wait to rent them, they're usually available to stream within a month or so of screening. And yeah, new movies are like $19.99 to rent at home, but it's still cheaper than going to the theater and spending $25 for 2 tickets, plus another $20 on popcorn and soda. Plus, my TV is better picture quality than movies and the sound quality of my Dolby Atmos system isn't far off. So we're staying home, watching from the comfort of our couch with cheaper snacks and the ability to pause the movie to use the rest room when we like. That$19,99 makes sense, and if it's not a movie we really want to pay that much for, wait a few weeks and it will be $5.99.
