Well, I am gonna wager that we can write off the rest of 2020 in regards to seeing any new blockbusters in the theaters...

NooooooooooOOOOooooooo!!!! Understandable but still disappointing nevertheless. Been looking forward to that one. The worst thing about waiting too long is that all the hype and over-extended anticipation may just lead to disappointed critics and movie-goers. Even if it actually is pretty good. You know how it goes. Remember Jupiter Ascending? Had it come out pre-Matrix or without the major delays it had, I think it would have been received WAAAAYYYY better. I finally got around to seeing it myself and actually really enjoyed it a lot, but I can completely understand why people weren't so thrilled at the time it came out. Hope Tenet doesn't suffer the same fate.

If I have to watch a re-release I could do much worse than interstellar, or inception, or dark knight, or Memento...

I think the $30 price point is a miss. The previous releases straight to VOD that did well were at $20. That seems a better value. That said, they didn't have $200M budgets they had to make up for.

I even find $20 to be a bit much.
Heck, I won't even pay $9.99 for a new release to stream at home.
$3.99 is my outer limit. And even then that would only be for a movie that I cannot find on NF DVD or that is hard to find elsewhere.
That said, I feel the $20 and $30 price points are aimed at families. I believe a family of 4 would easily spend in excess of $60 for a night out at the movies once you factor in concessions and parking
But as a single dude, there is no way I am paying $30 to stream a film on my 48" TV, not when I used to go to the theater for $5 a pop pre-COVID (though that seems like it will surely change, especially if theaters only operate at 50% capacity once/if they reopen...)

^^^ agreed. If I'm watching it at home, the only difference between a $30 VOD and a $2 rental is the 5 months I'd have to wait for the VOD to hit a red box. I'm not in that much of a rush.

We’re going to another private showing at our local theater for a delayed Xmas gift. “Some Like It Hot”.
Well maybe I'm the faggot America

Empire Strikes Back?! I'm in. Thanks for the heads up! You should totally go. If your experience is like all my recent theater outings have been, you could very well have the entire joint to yourself. Kind of surreal.

Sadly, no AMC in my neck of the woods; closest one is 3+ hours away.
I am still mad leery of the cinema experience right now, though. Also, neither Cinemark/Century or Galaxy, the chains near me (Reno) have announced if/when they will re-open, so no Silver Screen for me for awhile.
We have a local pop-up drive-in, but it is $30 a car, 2 person max!
The drive-in in Reno is only $8.75, but their programming is heavily skewed towards families (Trolls World Tour, Doctor Doolittle, Avengers, etc).
I wish they would do some Friday/Saturday Midnite Horror and Schlock, but doesn't seem to be in the cards.
Buddy of mine says the drive-in near him in Virginia has been doing grindhouse midnite shows and their family films have been deep diving (Karate Kid + Labyrinth!!!)...

Hey Dookey. Alama Drafthouses are reopening soon, but thought you'd find their new rules pretty good. More than that, go watch their highly entertaining 8-bit instructional video here:

Nice!
Dug The Shining and Gremlins mini-bosses.
Too bad the closest Alamo is 3+ hours away.
I fondly recall going to what I believe was the original Alamo, which was in downtown Austin and located on the second story of a brick building above a Chinese restaurant. It was the second movie theater I had been to that served food and booze (The first had been in Arlington, VA). I never understood why it took California so long to embrace the concept...
