60 Minutes Rooney questions movie renting
December 18, 2006
Hacking Netflix points to an audio clip from last night's 60 Minutes where the always relevant and ahead of his time Andy Rooney questioned whether most people will ever watch movies at home.
Rooney says he's unsure about Netflix's revenues and goes on to doubt the rental business: "Well, I may be wrong but I don’t think renting movies to watch at home for $5.00 is ever going to be the way most Americans see a movie. You can’t rent the popcorn."
