Co-founder Napster wants to organize screenings of rolling films at home

Sean Parker, co-founder of Napster and the first president of Facebook, is working on the Screening Room project . The project assumes the possibility of viewing at home new films going to the cinemas. His team is developing a special device for showing the film. It is assumed that the cost of home viewing one picture will be $ 50.

People go to the cinema, as this is one of the options to have fun in your free time, and watch the new movie on the big screen. It is also one of the ways to cuddle with a girl in the dark. In any case, film studios first collect all the money from moviegoers, and then release the film for sale by other methods - so if you really want to see it, and do not want to watch a pirated screen, you will have to go to the cinema.

However, not everyone loves such a pastime. Not too educated visitors of the same session can ruin your viewing experience. Apparently, Sean Parker holds the same position - he and his colleagues are developing a magic box that will show the latest films that have just been released and somehow protect them from copying.

The box itself will cost $ 150, which is not at all expensive - but it’s planned to charge $ 50 for watching a Screening Room movie, which is 10 times more expensive than going to the cinema. It is planned that after the payment you can watch the movie once during the 48-hour period. But, of course, you can watch movies and ten people with friends.

The distributors will receive $ 20 from each paid viewing, and customers - two free movie tickets for the same film.

It is not yet known how the potential clients will react to this proposal, but the studios that have already been negotiated - in particular, Universal, Fox and Sony - show great interest in the project. Now in the process of making a deal with AMC . Apparently, the studios may be interested in those clients who, in any case, will not go to the cinema - for example, those who live far from the cinema but have access to the Internet.



Variety magazine arranged a survey on its Twitter account to identify those willing to share $ 50 for watching a new movie going to the cinema at home. The results are not particularly comforting - less than a third of respondents agreed to such an unusual proposal.
