"Interestingly, Screening Room would cut in movie theater chains as much as 40 percent for each rental. This is an attempt to avoid a severe backlash from theatrical chains that are vehemently against any technology that keeps moviegoers at home."

That's a fascinating move. Theater chains have been very aggressive at avoiding this exact sort of disruption... but this is like paying the taxi companies to operate Uber.
