5 years back from now, watching a movie is all about going to theatres and enjoy the movie along with the theatre experience by grabbing some snacks(Popcorn, Samosa, puffs, Ice Creams, etc.,) and Cool Drinks. That's how the Indian movie lovers enjoy a movie experience.
Even this is how the people love to experience a movie in most of the countries. As the technology is evolving day by day, Nowadays in the US, the audience who comes to theatres is gradually decreasing because of the online streaming sites. If you wanted to know more about this let's dive into the details.
Most of the families think, instead of going to a theatre and spend around $15 buck per each, They are planning to stay home and watch the movie altogether. Nowadays there are many video-on-demand streaming services where you can have a subscription for the monthly and you can watch whatever they have in their store. This is what attracts most of the people so that they can watch whatever they want and whenever they need. Many of the streaming services are cashing this, in particular, there are many companies come to this category they are
- Netflix
- Hulu
- PS Vue
- Sling
- Amazon Prime
- Direct Now
All these company's purpose was the same, To entertain people wherever they want and whenever they need. I should say they succeeded in doing that. I should also mention another service named Redbox, this is a service where you can rent a movie or game DVDs by having an account at Redbox. These people made this very easy by placing Vending Machines in most of the grocery stores or in most of the stores with a more populated area with more crowds. You should go and select a movie and pay there are get a movie DVD and you should return that whenever you want.

All these services are making people stay out of the theatres and watch movies in their homes. But the only thing people will miss watching a movie in early days of its release as all these streaming services will add the latest movies quite lately into their applications and obviously they might miss the theatre experience.
Now there was an interesting service Name MoviePass, an American Subscription based ticketing service. This changed all the equations for the people who wanted to watch a movie in the theatre and also it grabbing people into the theatres. Because of this service even theatre chains like Regal Cinemas, AMC, ShowCase, Cinemark, Cinemagic, etc,. are cashing this advantage by gaining money from food and drinks in theatres. MoviePass is a monthly subscription where you pay monthly around $10 and watch a movie/day free in any theatre nearby. Most of the people started getting this subscription and it is quite new just introduced in 2017 and should see how long this will serve its customers.
This is how people in America experience watching movies and most of the organizations making money using this idea. Even in India, this culture was started recently as Netflix and Amazon Prime introduced them to India, people are started to transform in this manner of watching movies in their home. As if we see the services like Netflix, Amazon prime, Hotstar, Yupp Tv etc., they are making money using this Idea and the content that they publish in this sites are no more available in any social sites like youtube.
We should wait and see how this technology will change watching movies in future.
