No. I can understand how some might... But that's too much for me. I always wait for discounts on most of what I buy. With Big Lots, Black Fridays and so forth...how many can I get for $30? A lot!

The 3 big chains (Regal, AMC, and Cinemark) hope to have the digital conversions completed nationwide by the end of 2012.

I am not sure what the benefit would be to pay $30 to watch a first run ahead of the video release, unless you have a bomb HT setup and you simply want to impress your friends!

While it won't be said, it's a fantastic deal for people with a child with disabilities. In fact, $30? That's really nothing. That's 2 3D tickets. The more I think about this, the more I think I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Possibly, but I'd probably be more likely to pay $30 if I could watch the film at home during it's theatrical run.
