Consumers Prefer Movies At Home

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-surprising dept.

Ubergrendle writes "A poll conducted by Ipsos on behalf of the Associated Press and AOL confirmed that 73% of movie viewers prefer to watch movies at home rather than at a theater. This article comes on the heels of a consistently poor box office this year, even despite the presence of the new Star Wars film. Despite this demand for home viewing, only 5% admitted to downloading a movie from the internet."

    Calling me a fattist is like calling someone who complains that they've just been drenched with a bucket of blood accidentally spilled from the upper storeys of an abbatoir a "fucking hippy vegertarian".

    Do you pay for your friends when you go the movies? Will your friends help pay for your home theater system?

    The original post specifically said $9.50, not $57.
