It’s not that most movies nowadays suck and 9 times out of 10 you’ll feel more like you got raped by the box office after spending a small fortune to see that crappy movie. It’s no secret people would rather wait for a new release to hit DVD so they can watch it at their leisure in the comfort of their own homes. Gone is the stigma the silver screen used to bring.

Hollywood has another opinion. Some industry execs believe it was Microsoft’s recent release of Halo 3 that has hurt ticket sales, citing weak performances such as ticket sales for the week of October 5th (week after Halo released) being down as much as 27% and the fact gamers logged some 40 million hours playing Halo 3. Maybe it had something to do with it, but I doubt seriously it had that big of an impact. Most of those gamers probably have better home theaters than any cinema could dream of and while they’re playing Halo 3, it’ll just help them pass the time until whatever movie they missed makes it’s way to DVD in about 2 months.

Do you still go to the movies or do you prefer to wait and watch things at home?
