It was up there for a day or two, and I was making plans to see it on the weekend. Out of nowhere it is no longer available at any theaters in the entire state?..
shareIt was only in theaters for a very short time. Should be on VOD soon.
Meet me at the waterfront after the social.
Damn that sucks. I mean I want to see it ,but it will cost 15-20 dollars to buy, whereas the theater only costed 8.
shareIt should be costeds.
~Oops! Im trolling again~
It was only meant to be in theaters for one night as a special fathom event exclusive.

The showing last Thursday was meant for one night only. Don't worry though, in case video on demand charges you money to buy it and watch it you can see it in theaters starting October 21st.
Thanks for the info. I couldn't get out to see it last week. I can't wait to see it!

I came here to tell everyone precisely this, so thanks. To that, I'd only add as a caution to anyone who visits the site: don't download the content, only stream it. Downloading the content is what gets you and your IP address reported to your ISP, but not streaming it. 123movies is one of the best sites offering free HD quality films. Do you know about Kodi? 123movies is one of the many add-ons available in Kodi. If you haven't heard of Kodi and/or don't have it, I highly recommend it, man, it's free.
You are confused. Streaming and downloading are indistinguishable. Both cases the file is transferred to your computer. The only difference is whether or not your computer decides to save it to a permanent file or just a temporary file.
shareLol! It is you who is confused. Not only confused, but sorely mistaken.
Wrong, you don't retain any data when you stream something, otherwise everyone's computers and devices would be full from streaming youtube and Netflix. That's what 'streaming' is, a free flow of something, with no storage or retention, like with water. As for your ridiculous claim that it comes down to whether or not "your computer decides to save it to a permanent file or just a temporary file" - lol computers don't act on their own, even a 5 year-old knows it is you who is control and as such, only you can authorize the computer to do that.
You're badly misinformed. I suggest you research this matter before you tell others anything on the subject.
This is your post in a nutshell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
Here's a discussion of how streamed files from youtube are stored in temporary files on your PC. Modulo the specific implementation details, that's how it works for all streamed video.

You're right, in this context streaming is the same as downloading, with the only difference being that streamed videos are temporarily saved and often in pieces, while downloaded usually means the entire video is permanently saved.
From a networking perspective, both streaming and downloading from websites like 123movies would use the HTTP protocol, which means if your ISP is monitoring your traffic they will be able to see what files you are streaming or downloading.
If the streaming site uses HTTPS correctly, the traffic would be encrypted which means the most your ISP could tell is that you visited the 123movies website, but they wouldn't be able to see what files you downloaded/streamed.
123movies does have HTTPS enabled, but it's not the default so most likely very few people will be using it.
The Kodi program alkimia4 was talking about also uses HTTP when it "streams" a video, and it's saving parts of the stream to a file called "v.mp4" in a temporary folder.
I think what alkimia4 meant to say is that using streaming websites like 123movies is generally "safer" than downloading a movie using BitTorrent.
Whenever you download a movie using BitTorrent, it's "peer-to-peer", which means you're connecting to everyone else who has the movie, or at least parts of it.
That means the other people that you're connecting to, called "peers", can view your IP address.
A common practice is for companies like IP-Echelon to use custom BitTorrent software designed for information gathering, and have it sit on a torrent and automatically look up any new peer IPs against whois.arin.net in order to find the abuse contact for the owner of your IP range, which would be your ISP, then their software will automatically send a DMCA complaint notice to that email address that includes information about the movie or TV show you were downloading, along with your IP.
At that point, your ISP could forward you the complaint, or suspend your account, or forward all your personal information to the authorities, or ignore it if they're not legally required to do anything.
With streaming sites, it's more difficult for these companies to do that because the protocols being used aren't "peer-to-peer", and because most sites like 123movies are in regions where there are no DMCA laws, so they have no obligation to hand over any logs that would contain your IP and what you've been downloading.
Plus most ISPs aren't going to actively monitor your traffic for visits to these types of websites because there's no money in it for them, and it would cost them money to do that kind of monitoring.
Although, if they were put under enough legal pressure, they could...
So regardless of whether you're downloading/streaming stuff using a website, or BitTorrent, or Usenet, or IRC/XDCC, or good ol' FTP, you should be using a VPN to encrypt all of your traffic so that your ISP can't see what you're doing. A seedbox along with that wouldn't hurt..
I really enjoy reporting morons that link to sites where you can illegally stream and download movies. I remember when IMDB was a place filled with people who respect cinema and film. Now it's nothing but *beep* who can't wait to find out how to get a film for free. Have a big *beep* you and I hope you get banned.
shareYeah your reports single handedly ended piracy. Your contributions to the industry will win many awards in the future.
