The MPAA really is grasping for straws aren't they. Ever since people were able to stream movies during the pandemic and found it was a much cheaper more enjoyable experience, they have been trying to invent ways to drive people back to the theaters. Now they are suffering major block buster busts and they have to point the finger at someone so they think, "it's those darn Reddit pirates!" Its funny that they don't realize they caused their own demise. But really I wonder, why specifically 2011?

Disagree that it's more enjoyable than going to the theaters. There is a social aspect of going to movies with friend groups that's hard to replicate at home. People don't have space to fit 12 friends to comfortably watch a new release.
