Comment on Movie Trailers Are Killing Movies

I don’t know if I can put my finger on a reason besides cost, but I just don’t want to see movies in theaters any more. When my kids do, I’ll take them, but I have no problem waiting 2 months for them to show up on streaming when I can buy them for $20, 1/5 or less than the cost of a movie date with my wife or taking all four of us and getting drinks, candy, and popcorn.

Cheaper tickets, a decent lounge and bar with bar food instead of theater food would help, but there just aren’t as many must-see movies any more. I feel like blockbusters used to be maybe 3 or 4 a year, but now everything is epic and so nothing is.

I want to see Furiosa 100%, but it’s nothing I can’t wait a couple of months to see. Which kinda makes me sad because I used to absolutely love going to the movies.

My point is I don’t think it’s the trailers. I think audiences are more fickle.
