Movies, Friends & Family, Home

A lifetime of movie memories associated with friends & family is capable of helping us mentally travel back in time. Throw your home in the equation and you get - priceless.

On the wildly popular social media site dedicated to movie lovers - Letterboxd - the top section on your profile page is dedicated to your "Top Four" films. It's very enjoyable to be able to see the favorite movies of others at a glance. But what does all of this mean to us?

"Movies"

For as long as watching moving pictures on a screen has been around, people have paid to see this form of entertainment - this form of storytelling.

In the US, at the end of the silent film era and the heyday of the movie palaces, movie attendance was ~100 MILLION people per week! This was at a time when the US population was around 127 million people. Can you imagine!? Even in the depths of the Great Depression, movie attendance was still around 40 MILLION people per week. Today, post-COVID, theater attendance is averaging about 51 MILLION people each week.

"We are a storytelling animal, and it may be one of the things that defines us." ~ Howard Suber , Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, UCLA School of Theater, Film & Television

"Friends & Family"

Take a moment and think back about one of your favorite movie theater experiences...I'll wait.

My guess is that you can remember not only the film you watched but also where you saw it and who you saw it with.

Even to this day, I'll have one of my old friends say something like, "You remember that time you, me, and (list of other friends) went to see (name of the film) and (some crazy event) happened?" [The next time you see me, ask me about "Saturday Night Fever". LOL!]

"Home"

I recently added a LinkedIn newsfeed post talking about how Premium Large Format (PLF) commercial theaters are the talk of the town and were the main draw for getting people back in theatre seats. The large display and immersive audio make a difference!

Yet, we have the ability to create this PLF Private Home Cinema environment in our homes. Here are the advantages:

1. Escape to Your Personal Premiere: The Luxury of a Private Home Cinema. You can now have the unmatched luxury and convenience of enjoying the latest blockbusters and timeless classics from the comfort of your own bespoke cinema space.
2. Tailored Viewing Experience with Cutting-Edge Technology. Advanced technologies like the madVR Labs Envy video processor, which immensely enhances the picture quality, combined with premium large format displays, immersive multi-channel sound processors, speakers, and content sources of your choice provide you with unmatched entertainment experiences.
3. Design Meets Performance: Customizable Interiors to Match Your Style. Your private home cinema can be aesthetically tailored to your unique style, seamlessly integrating high-performance audio and visual equipment within stunning interior designs. Whether you're using a garage bonus space, closing in the garage itself, a basement, attic space, a spare bedroom, or a custom-built building/shed on your property, your options are numerous!
4. The Ultimate Entertainment Hub for Family and Friends. The social benefits of a private home cinema, such as hosting movie nights, sports events, and music/concert sessions, create unforgettable experiences right at home, and memories that will last a lifetime.

I love going to the movies at a commercial theater. The truly giant screen, that movie popcorn, and the crowd interaction (well, for the most part).

Yet, being able to watch pretty much any film I want to, at any time I want to, and having really close to movie theater popcorn available, in my personal premium large format home cinema with my family and closest friends is very...very...hard to beat.
