Everyone in here with personal large TVs and surround systems throwing the curve.
Honestly when I was in walking distance to a theater I liked (they served like pizza fries and other meal items for a good price) I went all the time. I was willing to go for movies I was less excited about rather than waiting it out cause giving up 4 hours of my time for an ok movie after driving, trailers and everything else plus cost is definitely less appealing.
I definitely think cost and spare money to spend on nice things other than food is a huge component of this all but I also would just like ease of participating.
Both time and money have felt like very precious resources in these new terrifying gilded ages.

If I had a cinema down the street I’d love to get the pass and just go check out some movies during the day (I’m an independent so I’d have that possibility, easier than evening/weekends when the kid is involved). But as it stands I have to drive there, park, pay the exorbitant parking, etc etc. And it’s not worth having a pass in these conditions so paying full price tickets every time, and yeah it’s a luxurious/time consuming outing.
