Would you pay for it as much as a movie ticket costs?

The movie industry goal is to improve box office, not your experience, but these two are linked.

At this point is feels like their goal is to get me to pirate as much as possible, lets see my anecdotal data point:

Music - Tidal covers about >95% of my music consumption.

TV shows - I have netflix and and prime, these cover maybe 75% of my tv consumption.

Films - Going to the cinema covers 10-20% maybe? I go to the cinema about 5-10 times a year and I pirate the rest because I don't have a good enough service to get those from legally.

For some films? Yeah, I'd do it.

Same thing was with music industry and guess what? Their revenue from streaming is way lower.
