Reply to comment by root_fifth_octave in Netflix set for slowest revenue growth as ad plan struggles to gain traction. by dragonmp93

There is our rivalry!

There was only a 15-year jump in it. The same problems that cable had are now being caused by an excess of streaming websites.

"Theaters are dead," you say.

Hmm. This week's news:

"Avatar 2 is grossing billions," "Netflix is having trouble,"

Theaters are the best, I agree.

It could end up a similar place as cable, with bundles, tiers & all that.

Theaters are great, but do depend on the quality of the people you’re around.

I've only once ever had a bad experience with other people in a movie theater, and I used to go to movies practically every week. (I don't go as much now, but it has nothing to do with the actual experience or anything; there's just more to watch at home and stuff usually comes out to watch at home faster than it used to.) That experience was at The Secret Life of Pets, and there was a group of (presumably) teenagers that just kept being obnoxious throughout the whole movie.

Yeah, probably the sort of thing where everyone’s experience is a little different.

Most of my experiences have been fine. The vast majority, really. But there have also been enough shitty ones to make it a consideration.
