The streamer's co-CEO spoke at the Royal Television Society's London Convention 2024 about how Netflix can't have too much content given eclectic tastes and shared that his wife "loves" 'Emily in Paris.'
I mean I don’t disagree with him. I’ve only ever wanted to go to the theaters for a big action movie or something like that. I don’t see the point to watching a quiet, slow burn drama or rom com in a movie theater. It’s a waste.
I would say a good 50% of movies that go to theaters, should not be there and would be fine releasing on streaming
I wouldn’t say it’s a waste even if you’re not maximizing the benefit of the large screen and high powered audio system. It can be nice just to go out and do something, have some beers, theater food, and popcorn.
We luckily have a local theater that now shows first-run movies and only charged $9 per ticket versus all the other Regal owned theaters, which charge twice as much.

So expensive though. $50+ for my wife and I to go watch a movie so we’re very selective and only go see the movies that are big screen worthy
