From the article:

When we went to our seats, the wait staff let us know that despite the fact that the previews were playing, we wouldn’t know until the movie actually started whether we could see the film or not. If it didn’t work, the screen would just turn black. Luckily, the film went through without a hitch.

The marvels of intellectual property

Hilariously enough, even at the theater, you'd get a better experience pirating the movie. Y'know, cause you'd ACTUALLY GET TO WATCH THE MOVIE AT ALL. Proving yet again piracy is a service problem.

You could probably only find CAMS for in theater movies anyways.

And a CAM is arguably worse than nothing
