Unless the tower they\’re \”heisting\” is made of coffee beans and ennui, why would anyone in Portland give a sh*t?

$60 bucks is too much although I think that that price for a kids movie could work. I could see a lot of parents preferring to round up kids at one person\’s house rather than have to wrangle them at the theater. I also could see this working VERY well for Tyler Perry, the Fireproof/Courageous types, or The Dolphin Tale. I could see Churches or schools gladly paying the 60 bucks to show the film to their group.

The only way I could see the 60 dollar price tag working for most films, however, is if the movie came out 1 week BEFORE the release rather than three weeks after. I\’ve thought about spending 20 bucks on Amazon to watch one of their indie pre-release flicks but if a bigger film was available, I could see myself going to 30 (or 50 if I rounded up friends to watch it.)

Answer: In a heartbeat. I would give any and all money I have to Brett Ratner.

It might be a genius move on the studios behalf because three weeks after Tower Heist\’s release date it will be Thanksgiving weekend.

Millions of families will be spending their time together & overly stuffed with turkey. If they don\’t want to head out/ too lazy to head out to the theaters as a group they could just sit on their couch & eat turkey leftovers while watching a new movie.

Could be a smart/greedy move. Would not be surprised if this works & more mass appeal comedies replicated this move around the Holidays.
