It just seems to me that the type of people who really really care about watching a new release movie the exact moment it comes out are the type of people who would just go to the cinema for less than half the price. Whereas those who hate theatres are more likely the type of people who couldn't give a shit about watching something day and date and would happily wait for a cheaper home option to become available.

I don't know, just my feeling about the $50 price point. I certainly would never pay that much. Ever.
