Having a more difficult time getting viewers out to theaters, movie studios want to get their films into homes faster. Theaters aren't happy with plans to subvert the traditional theatrical window, and the conflict is coming to a head with the Ben Stiller comedy Tower Heist, due out in theaters Nov. 4 and slated to go on demand three weeks later. Some theater owners, including mega-chain Cinemark, are protesting the quickie on-demand plan by refusing to show the film unless the studio changes its plans.

I am no sympathizer with the wall street punks, but I must admit that I have not been in a movie theater in almost 20years. I t started as part of save money and get out of debt plan (which worked). The boy cott of movies continued as I realized how much money actor were getting paid even the bad ones as long as they brought in viewers. This is one industry that I refuse to support. If the CEO of a company makes millions and the company produces products and provides jobs, I'm all for it but not for Ben Stiller to act like a fool. Save your money, the movie will be on TV soon enough. Stop going to the movies and after a while, you are on a new "new" movie schedule and have more $ in your pockets.
