When going to the movies requires planning the entire day around arbitrary showtimes and inflated runtimes, showing up early on case of lines, spending a small fortune on tickets and an even larger one on snacks, dealing with power tripping teens who threaten to call the cops to kill you…, being forced to watch 20 minutes of commercials before the trailers even start so that by the time the movie begins any popcorn left is cold and mysteriously starting to smell like vomit, then running to the restroom to find half the lights and toilets don’t even work, the movie better be guaranteed to be worth the effort and make full use of the “cinema experience”.
For me, that means big names in established franchises with lots of action and explosions as pretty much anything else would be better watched at home.

Agreed on the prices, but otherwise I’m glad my cinema experience is never nearly that hellish
