Comment on Streaming is overtaking theaters for movie watchers, an AP-NORC poll finds

There is one indie movie house I go to in town. It doesn’t have every amenity but the people who go to to watch movies and nothing else.
If I go to an AMC or Cinemark it’s the same every time. Concessions are outrageously prices, floors and seats are sticky, people talk and play on their phones, it’s distracting and annoying.

I love AMC. I'm in the A-Live and have been to about 5 or so AMCs this year. Only twice did I come across a genuinely bad audience, and even then, it was just one bad apple or a group of them (in one case a family brought their family dog, in another case the audience was elderly and one dude was laughing at every single scene and another audience member was scraping at food on a plate with a fork or something). I've also never had to suffer through a sticky seat.
Now, to be fair, I avoided A Minecraft Movie, but in general I really don't think movie theaters are the boisterous and rambunctious hellholes people on the internet seem to think they are.

Lucky you. That might not encompass the variables present in a proper testing pool, however…
