Most of the money from video sales doesn t go into anyone s pocket , he adds. Sure, we get a really small royalty on every unit sold, but the majority of the money goes to the studios. Which is fair, because after all they took all the risk to produce the film in the first place. Home video equipment is becoming both more sophisticated and affordable, and ever since the introduction of DVD, high-end video quality is within reach for everyone. Bay is adamant about that.
People just like to go out and watch movies with other people.
It s not much fun to see a comedy and don t hear other people laughing. It s infectious and enhances the experience. Going to the movies is an event and that makes movie theaters unique. Some home theaters are so sophisticated today that many people even claim the image and audio quality is better than what they get at their local movie theater. That s a serious problem , Bay agrees.
