Re: $30 to watch a movie at home. Would you do it?
Only if it was currently in the movies with no 60-day delay and I had a bunch of friends who wanted to come over and watch. Otherwise I'm fine waiting for Netflix

Re: $30 to watch a movie at home. Would you do it?
Either I spend $11 to see it in the theater (if I want to see it that badly), or I wait until it comes out on DVD and rent it from Redbox for $1.
Why would anyone pay $30 to see a movie?

Re: $30 to watch a movie at home. Would you do it?
Washington, D.C. (April 19, 2011) -- DIRECTV on Thursday will launch a VOD service that will charge $29.95 per viewing of movies made available 60 days after their theatrical release. The first film will be the Adam Sandler comedy, Just Go With It, which was released in theaters on February 11.
In a few weeks, DIRECTV plans to also offer the Ed Helms comedy, Cedar Rapids, the Owen Wilson comedy, Hall Pass, and the Matt Damon thriller, The Adjustment Bureau.
The 'Premium VOD' concept has been floated for months as studios explore ways to generate new revenue to counter declining sales of DVDs. But the idea is controversial because of its cost -- and because movie theater owners say it could hurt their attendance if people know they can watch a movie at home just 60 days after its theatrical release. Normally, studios wait at least three months before offering theatrical films to home video.
DIRECTV spokesman Robert Mercer told The Wrap today that his company does not believe the high cost will scare away viewers.

no - at that point I'd go to the theater. or just wait for it to be on Netflix.

Re: $30 to watch a movie at home. Would you do it?
No way. Pay more than twice what it costs to watch it in the theater because I cant wait 30 days for it to come out on DVD? This makes no sense.

Re: $30 to watch a movie at home. Would you do it?
Heck no!
I barely have time to watch my netflix movies at home, which are like $7/month...we don't have time or fall asleep....and if I want to spend more, I'd rather go to the theater, see it on the big screen and know I'll stay awake (an outing if you will)
what a lousy idea!
