I’ve actually been going a lot more. When you go to a smaller movie that’s been out for a week you basically have the place to yourself. My small local theater recently replaced all the seating with recliners which is a real treat. I’ve really come to appreciate just sitting in a dark room free of distractions (kids jumping around their room before bed, a dog that wants over and under the blankets constantly, my wife’s phone).
Comment on AMC Theatres Says July 4 Holiday Box Office Drew 4.2M Moviegoers

I went from being an avid movie theater goer to almost never going after the pandemic. The cinema experience has really gone down the drain. The only movies I watched in the cinema this year are Dune Part 2 and Oppenheimer, and only in IMAX. My criteria nowadays is it should be a movie worth watching in IMAX or Dolby and it should be a good movie at the minimum. Otherwise, I’ll just watch it at home.

Okay, but did you get to watch Barbenheimer in 2023?

It doesn’t help that the entire cinema industry is artificially propped up with exclusivity agreements.
That practice should be ended and allow the cinema industry to contract to a niche thing that people go-to for the experience like it should be.
What happened to the Free Market™️ determining such things??
