Which of today’s TVLine Items piques your interest?
Does Fear/The Walking Dead really need to be in the theaters?
How does it work? Will there be commercials?
No commercials. Bonus content, even. –Mgmt.
Does it need to be in theaters? No. Do they need something to promote interest in a series that’s sagging both dramatically and in the ratings? Yup. ;)
I’m not paying movie theater prices to watch a show that tanking when I can see it on TV. The Show is no longer about the walking dead. It’s now the Negan head bashing, any excuse to say a cuss word, boring hour. I can watch that at home for free.
Need? Not really, but it’s almost an irrelevant factor. This is not a new thing. Game of Thrones has done it, among numerous others. It’s something that appeals to the fandom and has no bearing on anyone watching at home. It’ll probably run for one showing and that’s that. It’s just a matter of whether you care enough to leave your house on that Sunday night and go to the movies.
