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.

I cheapskate the whole cinema-going experience - I have a monthly pass that is paid off by two or three visits a month (I go twice a week - one week last month I went 5 times, but 3 of those was a LotR marathon), plus I bring my own snacks and a bottle of water. Probably works out at the equivalent of three bucks a pop plus petrol, for big, wide reclining seats and iSense where available.
