Haven’t had many issues going to the theater in the past, even with phones or people talking. I might see phones at the beginning, but people seem to put them away pretty soon after the main feature starts. If anyone’s talking close enough for me to hear, I just politely ask them to stop (rare, but never had an issue with someone reacting badly). Maybe it’s the time or movies I go to, but I rarely see kids or teens in the theater, and if they’re there, their behavior is fine. Ticket price isn’t a big concern either, as I want to support the types of movies I want to be made.
The biggest change with Covid/streaming is the removal of time pressure to go to the theater. For years leading up to 2020, it seemed like the number of weeks a film was in the theater kept getting shorter, and you had to really decide to go see something in the week or three after it opened, otherwise you’d miss it, and I’m sure I missed many I would have seen. With streaming, I don’t think they’re missing out on too many ticket sales from me, but I’m definitely seeing more movies I would have missed otherwise.
