Movies of the future will be paid for 'by the inch'

It would be interesting to see how this would pan out in the world of connected devices. What will be the price if I watched half the movie in my iPad & rest in a TV via Airplay

Jeffrey Katzenberg, the CEO of DreamWorks Animation, has this week presented an interesting new idea for the future of the movie business: paying for films according to the size of the screen you watch them on. After a very brief three-week run in theaters, there would be ubiquitous distribution with a variety of tiers to match each screen size: "A movie screen will be $15. A 75-inch TV will be $4. A smartphone will be $1.99," according to Katzenberg's vision.
