I have tried the same, and had ChatGPT utterly fail.
> me: what's the relatively recent movie with a pig on the movie poster
> gpt: The movie you're referring to is likely "Pig," a 2021 American drama film. It stars Nicolas Cage as a truffle hunter who lives alone in the Oregon wilderness. He embarks on a quest to find his beloved foraging pig after she is kidnapped. The film was directed by Michael Sarnoski .
> me: no, that movie does not have a pig on the poster

> gpt: My mistake, let's correct that. Given your description, another film that fits the criteria of having a pig on its movie poster and is relatively recent is "The Menu" (2022). This film features a darkly comedic and thrilling story set against the backdrop of an exclusive restaurant on a remote island, where a young couple experiences a very unusual dining experience. The pig on the poster is part of the film's intriguing promotional material, hinting at the film's critique of culinary culture and excess.

> me: No, that move does not have a pig poster
> gpt: It seems I misunderstood your initial request. After a more detailed search, I couldn't find a recent movie specifically featuring a pig prominently on its movie poster beyond the titles we've discussed. Could there be any other details about the movie you're thinking of that might help narrow it down? For instance, any specific elements of the plot, actors involved, or even the genre might provide more clues to identify the correct film.
movie I was looking for was "The Hunt": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunt_%282020_film%29#/media/File:The_Hunt_2020_poster.png

Avg ticket price in the US according to Google $9.26, cinemas normally sell tickets in pairs and up so pretty close to the cost of the rental. Cinema theatres make very little out of the cost of the ticket during the first month of a run and make the bulk of their income from concession sales and upgrades to the watching experience.
So the way I see it is this price is about the studio not giving a discount on the “ticket price” but throwing the customer a bone of a 48 hour watch period and the ability to pause / rewind at your own convenience in Lou of the rest of the “cinema experience”.
For me personally it depends on the movie and my motivation to watch it. $20 for The Hunt? Nope, skip.
But Joker, dead pool, Sonic, movies I actually want to see? then I would prob go for it and make it into a planned movie night with popcorn and other lovely junk food instead of a drop of the hat impulse purchase like how I treat my Cinema visits these days anyways.
Edit: price does feel a little steep, but I think I would use it from time to time. So they hit that sweet spot of extracting the maximum amount of money I’m willing to spend on being able to watch day 1 cinema releases, not have others distracting me cause they can’t stay off their phones and have all the comforts of my own home.
