Just think of what it’s like to see the Millennium Falcon jump into hyperspace in The Force Awakens, or the loving long takes near bodies of water in Moonlight. There’s something to be said about watching visual storytelling on a three-story screen, particularly when the film really takes advantage of the format. (Other than movie-theater popcorn, which is itself a pretty good reason.) So here they are are: 10 reasons why buying a ticket is still worth it. They’re scrambling to create incentive for movie-lovers to go to physical theaters, seemingly unaware that the reasons already exist, and have been more or less the same for generations. At last week’s CinemaCon, theater owners and vendors flaunted Jack-and-Coke slushies, VR experiences, improvements to 3D - it refuses to die! - and other new gimmicks designed to get people back in the seats.
The reasons to see Get Out in theaters aren’t related to the new strategies cinema owners are betting on. Get out is a solid argument that a paper ticket is worth it So as movie-watchers who love the brick-and-mortar experience, we’d like to think Get Out is a sign of new life for the social space of the theater.
#WHY DID THEY MOVE IN INSIDE OUT THE MOVIE MOVIE#
Many pieces have already been written about why Peele’s riveting, participatory horror-comedy is best experienced in a crowded movie theater, and he’s echoed the sentiment himself, explaining that it’s not available on any VOD services because “if you don't see it with the theater energy, you'll miss the full intended experience.” In the replies to that tweet, people are actually making plans to “get some friends together” to go see the film. But for Get Out, movie fans have apparently made time to visit actual theaters. Theaters have been engaging in predatory pricing for “the next big theater upgrade” no one is asking for. Most of the films in wide release these days are reboots, franchise films, and Disney’s mostly regrettable live-action remakes. There are obvious reasons for that besides the competition for time and eyeballs. In 2015, the box-office take reached its lowest point in nearly two decades. The movie-theater industry is bleeding, thanks to streaming services, rising ticket prices, and studios’ dwindling interest in original pitches.
Jordan Peele’s directorial debut Get Out passed the $150 million mark at the box office this weekend, making it the highest-grossing debut ever for a writer-director working from an original screenplay, breaking the 1999 record held by The Blair Witch Project.
