Interesting. So your point is a) I want to see the latest movies the moment they are released therefore waiting for other legal ways like iTunes/Google Now etc aren't interesting but b) I don't want to do in a theatre. I hadn't really thought of that subgroup.

I'm also part of that sub-group. I absolutely despise going to the theater. In fact, I've toyed with the idea of of opening a theater with enforced etiquette, but ultimately determined that there was not sufficient demand.

Since I do not think the value proposition of piracy is in my favor, I simply do without recently released content. However, if it existed in an easy to use home view capacity, I would definitely pay for it.

I know of one theatre that has an adults only floor. Same movies and same start times as the general audience floor. No kids allowed, they have a bar, and people dress up to go there. I assume there are others doing the same.
Or you could, you know, just download it.
