Do quicker digital releases hurt a movie's chances at the box office? (www.digitalspy.com)

Shortly after A Quiet Place: Day One's record-breaking opening weekend, there was online outrage after it was reported that the horror movie would be available to watch at home within a month of its cinema release.

This was only an alleged release date and nothing has been confirmed by Paramount even now. It sparked a debate, however, about how the report would impact Day One's chances at the box office, and a wider one about how movies just aren't given the time to build their audiences at the cinema.

American cinema prices are not the only cinema prices.

what are prices like across the pond?

About 30 PLN for a standard seat in Poland, but that's not really going to tell the whole story without looking at things like the median income, average prices of other goods etc.

For some reference, that's the price for a month of standard Netflix over here.
