It didn't used to be a problem for me, but cell phones didn't exist when I grew up. People suck, but it differs from location to location. I drive to places with more affluent and educated demographics to watch movies.
>I’m just flabbergasted why they would waste their own time with such an odd movie.
Lots of people don't and many theatres are struggling. If I understand your example, your theatre was 99% empty and you were the only non-talker there, haha.
- idontwantthis 2y agoYou understand me correctly. I thought the film would select for either no one at all or only people actually interested in the movie.
- teqsun 2y agoThere's a chunk of people who will pay to see a movie at a big multiscreen theater, then go from one movie to another and see a whole days worth of movies for the price of one. As you said, a "weird" movie doesn't keep their attention, so they just distracted themselves with their phones to kill the time until the next movie. As an aside, the funniest instance of this phenomenon I ever encountered was when I was at an evening screening of an incredibly embarrassing idol anime movie at an AMC and two extremely out of place people walked in partway through, lasted about 5 minutes and then had to bail when one of the singing numbers started lol.
