I'd be disappointed with a VOD release, but I also know me, and I would crawl across broken glass to see the next Godzilla film, so I'd watch that movie the night it dropped on whatever service it comes out on.

And then yes, I'd go see it in a theater the minute that became an option.

Here's an option. Assuming no vaccine at that point or things don't settle down just release it VOD and when one of the two things does happen then release it in theaters.

...or, release the first few minutes in VOD up to and including a bit of the first battle, then end it there and force people to wait til theatres open to go see it. :lol:

It would generate more revenue for the film and build excitement.

Yeah that makes sense. Not many people i imagine will shell out $30 for Mulan but even then, Id bet a good amount of people will buy anyways. Personally I think the theatrical releases is the best way for this movie to profit
30$ isn't really that bad when you consider that the audience will be a lot of kids. Like if you have a household of 2 adults, 2 kids. 30$ for everyone to watch isn't bad. I just don't see that with GvsK because the audience won't skew explicitly younger.

^my family could watch a movie for 6 bucks per person. That s less than half of the price of my local theatre, it’d be a huge deal for us

This assumes that not only everyone in the household wants to watch the movie but that everyone seeing the movie has kids. $30 for a movie for one or two people to watch is not a good price.

$15 per person if it's two people, which a lot of households have!

That's the price of a 3D ticket at my work. Definitely overpriced.

Posting this here because there really isn't anywhere else to post this. But I'm extremely grateful for the MonsterVerse, it's given me 3 movies that I really love so far and has given me Godzilla movies that my family actually likes and watch with me on occasion. I mean, they could not tolerate any Godzilla movies before these two came out, I even tried Shin because it has mainstream appeal and they laughed at Godzilla the whole time and were bored to tears during the human segments.

Now I have Godzilla movies that not only do they like, but everyone in my family but my father sang their praises coming out of the theatre. My sister who hates this genre came out of KoTM and was super hyped and wouldn't stop telling me how amazing it was. So these movies has given my family an understanding of why I love this genre so much, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Nothing massive? More like nothing even noteworthy :lol:
I'm just playing around, but really...It's just KotM fanart. They post about KotM and K:SI every week or two.

Shin is not mainstream in the slightness I would argue but this happen to me as well. My family can stomach the old movies every now and then even though to them their comedies, they like the Monsterverse films and Shin is collecting dust at my house.

Movie tickets are $15 regularly across MA, honestly can't say I feel bad for anyone paying those prices anywhere else in the country. Wanna go to IMAX? $20 per person.

This is becoming "If I'm being regularly robbed of this amount of money, so should everyone else."

IMAX is a rarity for me and now that I'd been introduced to 4DX, nothing else compares. $23 for a matinee to see KOTM in 4DX. It was pretty awesome!

Where the **** in MA are you that it’s 15$ a ticket??
Unless you go to a Dine-In Theater or a flipping 5-Star private booth theater, that price is bull.

I visit the Cape and it’s not even that costly there...
