Movie theaters can't go out of business soon enough for me.
I hate being trapped with rude people talking and using their phones during the movie. Not to mention people who don't believe in baby sitters, and bring their infant or toddler along for a good scream fest in the middle of the show. And don't get me started on loud eaters, flatulent people, etc.
I think they've been on borrowed time since the 80s, when video stores got big. First run movies are their only hook now, and they're loosing even that with movies like Black Widow premiering on streaming. I hope more films premiere on streaming.
- amelius 5y agoUh, you can just watch movies at home if you don't like theaters ...
- drewg123 5y agoBut not first run movies that have a theatrical window.
- theshrike79 5y agoCan you list the movies that didn't get a simultaneous digital release during the last year or so? Tenet, and...? I have a bunch of pre-paid movie tickets still from the pre-pandemic days. Haven't used a single one, since all the movies I wanted to watch I can see at home for around 25€.
- drewg123 5y agoStillwater, which is the first movie in a while I've wanted to see.
