If your home experience is better, you go to bad theaters, or are quite well off.
It’s crazy now but Disney was really quite expensive in the 90s. The theater is still way cheaper.

Shits too expensive when I can have a better experience at home.
Theaters used to be a family outing now they feel like taking your kids to Disney in the early 90s

I don’t go to bad theaters I have one of the best imax theaters in my state.
Theaters just are over expensive garbage and yes my home setup with a 75 inch OLED and Dolby atmos surround is better then then $100+ im gonna spend to watch shitty movies at the box office. Not to mention the traffic, the annoying mother fuckers on their phones instead of watching the film.
Movie theaters act like they are Disney world.
Watching at home in peace and quiet while smoking my weed will be a million times better then a theater.
The last great experience I had in theater was with Infinity War. Nothings hit the same since.

There is exactly zero reasons to spend $100 at the theater for less than 6 people. Maybe 5 people if your in Manhattan

Local theater near us has $11 matinees. Go before dinner and have a meal at the grocery store next door ($3.50 for a good sized burger and fries).
It’s a cheap date on a rainy afternoon, the AMC wants $30+ for the same experience.
