Comment on Ask HN: "Tattlr": The End of the Annoying Moviegoer?parent

As a consumer, I wouldn't pay to download such an app. This is just my opinion and it may or may not be reflective of your market [1].

It seems like selling the backend tech / service to the movie theaters is the way to, but can you create enough of a value proposition to charge them enough money (assuming a re-occuring basis) each month to stay in business?

Also, I'm not entirely familiar with how movie theaters operate, but it seems like a vast majority are controlled by a relatively low number of chains. If the individual theaters are run on a franchise model, it may be easier to penetrate. But if they're all corporate controlled, selling seems would be a much larger challenge.

[1] I've also never had too bad of an experience at the movies. Aside from some guy who was eating popcorn obnoxiously during "The Dark Knight", I can't think of anytime I've really been annoyed with someone at the theater.
