10 years ago I used to go to the movies a couple of times a month but these days I just hate it.
People seem to talk a lot more than before. Teenagers that care about anything but watching a movie. People playing on smartphones at max brightness. I've even seen people answering their phone mid movie. Kids running around bored to death since their stupid parents thought it was a good idea to bring them to an adult movie.
Image quality just cannot compared to an OLED HDR with Dolby Vision. Sound is usually way too loud and honestly my Atmos home theater setup sounds better than most theaters.
After multiple shitty experiences I've just had enough. I prefer to wait a couple of months and just watch the movie at home either in Bluray or from iTunes/HBO/Disney.
Theaters could provide a good experience but they just don't care. They only care about selling tickets and food.

I've even seen people answering their phone mid movie. Kids running around bored to death since their stupid parents thought it was a good idea to bring them to an adult movie. This is also my perception, and a big reason why I stopped going to movie theatres (and concerts), but to be honest I don't know if it was really any better 20 years ago or if I'm just an old grumpy curmudgeon. I guess you need a time machine to do any proper research on this. I do know that "talking during theatre or movie screening" should absolutely be listed in the DSM under personality disorders.
