If you can't afford $50 to take your family to the movie theater to see Toy Story 4 the week it comes out, then you wait six months and get it from Redbox for $2 instead. It's not Eff You to poor people, it's recognizing that free/cheaper options have shortcomings relative to throwing money at whatever you want.
Edit: Admittedly, it would have been nicer to say "If you don't want to spend your cash", instead of "If you are poor", but that really doesn't change the fact that all of us have to decide how we spend our limited funds. Very few of us can just buy whatever we want, whenever we want.

I begrudge the cost of the cinema. I watch a lot of movies at home from Netflix, Amazon Prime, TV provider's movie package, and sometimes I'll rent or buy if cheap enough. There are some stores around here that sell used blu-ray including UHD. So if they have something I'm looking for cheap enough, I'll buy it. I do sometimes rent a digital copy.
