Plenty of people went to see the Dark Knight in theater, setting new records, even though the Dark Knight was available early online.  Movie theaters have believed that movie piracy such as the Dark Knight film would affect box office numbers.

But imagine watching the Dark Knight on a camera rip, doesn’t have the same effect does it?  Not at all.  Usually these pirated copies are grainy and often hard to see what is going on.  The theater offers an experience that few home entertainment systems.  Even I have a projector at home, but blowing up that terrible Cam copy I downloaded on Graboid doesn’t do the film justice.  Sure sometimes I will run across a decent copy, but movie goes know, if it’s a good film, it’s worth the $5 to see it in the cinema.

Still the MPAA will go on believing that piracy is a threat to the movie business, maybe in the dvd after market, but there is no way to match the cinema experience, especially in the case with the Dark Knight, that even though can watch the Dark Knight Online now, theater goes still flock to the cinema.
