How would you like to host a first-run movie for all of your family and friends, right in the comfort of the awesome home theater that you carefully crafted just for moments like this? On the very day it was released in “real” theaters? Sounds pretty cool—right until you get to the price tag. A startup called Prima Cinema wants to offer this exact service to discerning movie-watchers for the low, low price of $20,500.

The $20,000 is a one-time fee to set up a “digital delivery system” in your home. After that, it’s $500 per film that you want to host to as many or as few viewers as you’d like. Prima knows that the price is high—that’s apparently the point, as it’s aimed toward the “best-appointed living rooms,” according to the Wall Street Journal. Despite existing within a “super-premium niche market,” Prima believes it will be able to make its way into 250,000 homes in the next five years.
