It’s always convenience and cost
It’s too bad because now that my kids are away at college I keep thinking I can go more frequently. But not if it’s too expensive, too inconvenient, and I don’t even know what movies there are
In reality, I actually do go to opening weekends more frequently now that there is reserved seating and less crowds, but my overall movie frequency is much lower.
Even Alamo Drafthouse is not a solution. We finally got one but it’s downtown only, so that’s a lot of inconvenience.
I live in dense metro suburbs. The theaters are empty at 2 weeks. Just bump up your schedule. Most tickets at bought before visiting so you cans ee the map of seats open
Yes on the advertising. The few movies I would have gone out of my way to see in the theaters never had advertising on anything I watched.
There have been times I've heard of videos and I'm like "they made a sequel?!" or I'm just shocked to hear they made a movie about something at all. I'm trying to remember the specific movie but I think it was based on a video game.
