If you're itching to see Burlesque in the theater but can't tear yourself away from polishing your Faberge egg collection, I have good news. A company called Prima Cinema aims to launch in 2011 and deliver movies to your home the same day they're released in theaters. The one teeny tiny catch? The system costs $20,000 to set up plus $500 for each movie you order. If your monocle did not pop out of your eye upon reading these astounding rates, this product is definitely for you because you're so rich you wear a monocle.

Prima Cinema, aka the most delusional company in the world, hopes to be servicing 250,000 homes within five years. That seems doable -- why would you heave yourself into your car, drive all the way to the theater, and plunk down $9 to see a movie with a room full of commoners when you can shell out $25,000 to watch Yogi Bear while resting comfortably on your panda skin chaise? If only this service was available when Paranormal Activity first debuted in theaters; then you could enjoy the movie at home at a higher price than the film's entire budget

Think about how convenient it would be to see new releases from the comforts of your Xanadu. You could hop on your ROM machine and get a workout in while watching Big Momma's House 3, a luxury you wouldn't have if you had to actually leave your house to watch Martin Lawrence's latest entry in cross-dressing crime fighting hijinks. ROM machine: $14,615. Prima Cinema setup: $20,000. Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son: $500. Being a rich bastard who literally wipes his ass with hundred dollar bills: Priceless.


Would you pay $20,000 to watch new releases at home?

Posted By Jon,

That should be a HELL-NO.

...but could the rich idiot, I mean, person who actually does this charge people to come into their Bluth Company mansion to watch said movie - to recoup some cost? You are not distributing the movie, but don't know the laws on that one. $1 Redbox movie for me!

I would totally dress up like blue man to watch Yogi Bear!
