I dunno that I care enough to pay to see it earlier than general release. I'll take the temp of the household, if the family cares I'm down, if we all shrug we'll wait. (We skipped Mulan after the reviews.)

I really don't have a problem with this model though. Nobody is forcing us to pay for it. Clearly it was going to be in theaters, and the budget for it took ticket sales into account. It doesn't seem like a bait and switch or unfair to me.

I agree with you that while I don't really need early access, I don't have an issue with the business model. However, there are always people who want something for nothing. I saw commenter on another website saying it's a totally ripoff for something he was going to get for free anyways in a few months... when someone pointed out they would pay something similar to go to the movies with their friends/family... they were like "at least it's helping a local business"... and then later saying "eh I can't wait to it to come on my Disney+" so I'm just going to pirate it."

The following are all the same poster SMH

Yeah… no thanks. I’d be more than happy to buy the movie for $30 [... but] spending that much is insane.

I’m going to let Disney keep the money I’m already paying them every month and pirate it.
I pay you already, Disney, and as these films will be on the service I’m paying for anyway, I may as well give myself the access I’m going to get anyway.

I am thinking about going to the theatre for Black Widow, but I’m not sure I’m really interested enough in it to bother getting some mates together and making a thing of it.

So you either will give them money, for the premier access or when you buy the movie ticket. Remember most ticket revenue goes to the studios not theaters.

This is true, but I’d rather at least a portion of my money goes to a locally owned business if I go to the theatre (which I haven’t in a long time, because all the other contries can’t get it together so no movies are coming out).

I won’t be paying for "premium access" regardless though, it’s 3-4x the cost of a movie ticket and all I get is access to something I’ll get for no extra cost a few weeks down the line anyway, and all the money goes to a huge overseas company.

So I’ll either go to the local theatre (now that it has a movie to show) with some mates, or pirate it. I’m not super excited about Black Widow, but I’m also a little impatient.
