GDC Technology Announces “Netflix for Cinema”

Speaking of movies, Burbank-based GDC Technology is launching a “Netflix for Cinema” venture that uses crowdsourcing to help cinemas fill more seats and give studios another way to monetize their content, the Hollywood Reporter reports. Consumers would use the GoGoCinema app to schedule movies at their preferred time and venue. Based on popular demand, theatres would then schedule accordingly and anyone from the public could then by tickets to the showing. GDC also said renting out theatres for birthday parties and private screenings would be a part of the campaign.
