Gone are the days where prospective moviegoers would roll up to the theaters and gawk at the board for their next watch. Theaters are trying to make up that business in other ways.
I only go if the movie is worth watching in (true) IMAX or Dolby. So that will be like 1 or 2 movies a year. This year it was Dune Part 2. Otherwise, I just wait for it to be available to watch at home.
I was in the same boat before I learned that there was essentially a rerun/remake/release/whatever you’d call it of Coraline in 3D. Immediately bought tickets knowing that not many people would head out to see it later at night. No drinks or food since I didn’t wanna get charged an arm and a leg, but overall was a good experience since the theater chairs were nice.
Otherwise, yeah, no reason for me to go to the movies besides maybe if I really feel like going in the summer if there’s a Ghibli fest going on (because masterpieces should be seen in theaters if the theater quality is nice enough).
There is literally nothing that will get me into a movie theater again.

Pay to fall asleep 20 min in? Awesome!
Movie pass 2.0?
