Is anyone really going to the theater again just for a 1 minute clip they can watch later on youtube?

[-] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 37 points 1 year ago

I, for one, will buy as many tickets as possible and go to the theater to watch this movie over and over again with my friends and family.

Who's with me, fellow lemmings?

I want to see it again in theaters tbh it was an experience

[-] AlecSadler@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'm down if you're near Portland, OR.

Went in with zero expectations and legitimately and thoroughly enjoyed it.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think I can make it, sorry, but I think I'll still be there with you in the theater in some form. :)

I went three times already, but I guess I can go a fourth time...

I'll go for IMAX

Given that they wouldn't do it if they didn't expect it to be profitable, and this movie has been shitting money by the bucket, the answer is probably yes.

I imagine for some it will be an opportunity to see it for the first time since it will go on past the normal theatrical run, and for others it’s an excuse to go see a movie they enjoyed again. It’s less about giving you a single reason and more about nudging you to get back out and see it again/push last folks to go who got FOMO.

It’s also an excuse for them to extend the theatrical run but make it sound like some new phase/event. Much easier to market, much easier way to get people’s attention.

Heck yeah! That movie was a delight with catchy music and entertaining choreography, plus it was refreshingly bizarre while also being relatable. I don't normally watch movies more than once, but I was planning to watch this one again once it came to streaming. My boyfriend hasn't seen it yet so this is just enough of a reason to bring him to the theater instead of watching at home. Besides, Dune has been delayed and that was the next one we were planning to see in the theater so it will be a while before we visit the theater again.

While the horse is still alive...

Surprisingly to me, I've heard of a few people seeing it multiple times. Not that I dislike it, just that I'm not the kind to see a film more than once in the cinema generally, and Barbie didn't strike me as the film that would prompt people to do so ... though when I asked it made sense.
