Which is Worth it? Watching What You Spend
While debating between movie theaters or Netflix, I came upon four categories: convenience, variety, price, and the experience. Each of these categories is an important factor to determine between the movie and Netflix which is more worth the money and time.
When determining which is better, convenience is an important factor to consider. Netflix can be the easy choice nowadays since the average household member doesn 't have to leave the house. While movie theater 's convenience can fluctuate, depending on the location of the movie theater and the showing of movie. For example, if I had to use the restroom or get some snacks, I could easily pause the movie on Netflix; however at the movie theater

Movie theaters have a tendency to bring in the newest titles and push out the others just as quick, and there variety can vary depending on which movies have came out in the time. On the other hand, Netflix has a wide variety of films, television shows, and even Netflix originals. Just like movie theaters, Netflix brings in titles throughout a month and pushes out other titles old or new. Netflix originals only appear on Netflix and some of the shows can be rather interesting such as Orange is the New Black. Movie theaters do have the newer titles but the wait on Netflix isn 't far behind. For example, Zootopia, which was a hit at the box office bringing in over a billion dollars, has been out for only six months and it 's already being introduced to Netflix this September. While this is a personal preference, I would argue that most people would choose Netflix because having more to watch is considered better than watching the new …show more content…
At the Carmike Bellevue movie theater, just one ticket is $11.25). If I plan to go to movie theaters every day for a month that can weight heavy on my bank account, but Netflix I can watch any selection that is available and the flat rate can range from $7.99 to $11.99 for a month. Netflix offers three different plans: basic, standard, and premium. First is Basic at $7.99, only one person can be on the account and they won 't have HD, but they can watch unlimited movies or shows and they can watch it on their laptop, tv, smartphone or tablet. Second is Standard at $9.99, HD is available and two people can be on the account at the same time, and like the basic package one can watch unlimited and anywhere a person has a laptop, tv, smartphone or tablet. Lastly is Premium at $11.99, Ultra HD and HD is offered and up to four people can be on the account. A plus for Netflix would be that the first month is free for any given plan. Considering the prices of the concession stands at movie theaters, going to the grocery store to get snacks is a much cheaper alternative while watching Netflix. Netflix is unquestionably better priced than the movie theater especially when considering the content given for that

    The top two competitors for Netflix are Amazon Prime with about 13% of the American household market share and Hulu Plus which has about 6.5% of the American market. With 35% of American households having broadband access and zero streaming services, there is no wonder the giant cable company Tier Warner offers HBO Go as a streaming service. Let 's not overlook the fact that there are still plenty of websites that offer pirated movies and TV shows for free with a quick search engine look. Hulu also offers a free service, along with Veoh, Crackle, and UStream (chat online while you watch live video streams). When Netflix entered the European market it "immediately found itself navigating fierce competition from local streaming services and pressure from new apps that make watching pirated movies and shows easier than ever before."…
