Yes. Higher bitrate 1080p with lossless audio always beats low bitrate 4K with lossy audio.

It's not, really. What makes it "premium" is the fact that you can watch it at home while it's still in theaters.

PVOD (premium video-on-demand) is when you pay a one-time price to watch the movie digitally on platforms like iTunes, Amazon Prime, Vudu, Google Play, etc.

Personally, at those prices, I'd much rather wait for the Blu-ray release.

Not to mention having this exact amount of money in your bank account.

That's correct.

Fun fact: last year, The Super Mario Bros. Movie made $75 million in PVOD sales. Additionally, studios get a bigger cut of the money in PVOD - instead of splitting it half-and-half with the theaters, they get about 80% of the profits.

And the best part? It's all digital, so there's little to no manufacturing costs, and they won't "run out of stock".

It's no wonder they're focusing so much on digital these days.

The company or the politician?

It's amazing how much time you can kill when you're constantly at doctors appointments all week.

Doctors appointments? Not for any negative reasons, I hope?

I see what you did there. Very suave!

You've certainly done an outstanding job in the comments department. Not bad for someone who's only been here for 6 months!
