I think Variety's maths is a little off - or at least they're not fully painting a picture.
They have 5% of the population (13m) willing to pay $50, and 13% (34m) paying $25. But of course the price *is* per viewing as you can't charge a per person fee at home. So it's not 13m people who would theoretically be willing pay $50, but 13m *homes.* Indeed, if it was a large family who want to see the new superhero film, then getting some snacks from a supermarket and then paying $50 to watch the movie would definitely be cheaper than going out. At $25 it becomes a bit more a steal. On the other hand, if I mostly watch films by myself, then this is not very appealing from a price perspective. (However if it means watching a film without distractions like people checking their phone constantly, then maybe...)
