Some Folks Are Excited

Genuinely excited to watch In The Heights, Space Jam 2, Matrix 4, and Suicide-Squad-But-Good-This-Time from the comfort of my blanket fort. https://t.co/3CTWkg4JMF

Some Aren't Having It

Imagine wanting to see a film called Godzilla Vs Kong for the first time on your TV.

Big Screen Moments

I personally want to wait until this is over so I can cry my eyes out when I see The Matrix 4 title appear on a giant movie theater screen https://t.co/THnK6weuzd

You Have to Laugh

Cannot wait for GODZILLA VS KONG VS MY KID ASKING IF HE CAN HAVE GRAHAM CRACKERS VS THE PHONE RINGING VS MY KID SAYING "BUT CAN I WATCH POKEMON IN THE OTHER ROOM" VS BUFFERING

So Many Jokes

Dune worm apparently too big to be shown on the big screen, won't be in theaters until they make a bigger screen

The Price Factor

The Suicide Squad, Matrix 4, Mortal Kombat & more all drop on release day on HBO MAX??? At no extra cost????

Depends on the Movie

I love going to the movies, but I don’t have to see everything on the big screen. So, the option to see new movies on HBO Max the same day works for me.

But when it comes to WW84, Dune, Suicide Squad, Godzilla vs. Kong and Matrix 4? You betcha I’m seeing those in theaters.

Luckily, Batman Is 2022

I’ll be watching suicide squad, Godzilla and mortal kombat in my living room🙌🏾☺️

But I have to watch the new Batman movie in the theaters... THATS A MUST https://t.co/moKq1BuZba

Compromise For Safety

The thing is if I can safely see DUNE and THE SUICIDE SQUAD and MATRIX 4 in a theater I don’t care if it’s on my TV. I’m going anyway because I want to see these movies HUGE. But yeah for the time being this will be a good compromise. Because again: SAFETY
