The local cinema here is doing well, The VUE, €5 for a ticket.

Some people prefer the atmosphere over home sitting.

Theatres means having to put pants on

You can always take them off after they dim the lights.

Last movie I saw in the theater was End Game, and the last non-marvel movie I saw was Jurassic World. The first one. And these days, I dont have anyone to go with and no means to get to a theater. So End Game will very likely be the last theater experience I have. Good one to end on though.

"everything everywhere all at once" was a great theatre experience.

My city hasn't had a theater since like..fuck I don't even remember how long it's been. Haven't felt the need to go to the next city over to go to the movies either. The last time I was actually in a movie theater was to see Star Wars Episode III with my Dad.

In my countries the open cinemas are flourishing, it is a very good experience tbh.

I have a regal theater within a 5 minute drive from my house. Last movie I saw was Spiderman: no way home with my son during a midday matinee on a school day. Place was practically empty. It was awesome.

I know during the height of the lockdowns they were renting the individual theaters to private parties for whatever the party wanted projected, including personal consoles.

there's one about 10-15 min walk from me. It definitely isn't dead, cinema was packed when I went to see Spider-Man NWH at a midnight screening. it was great!

you don't really know if cinemas are a thing now... so you assume they are all dead? have you been to a cinema recently? do you know what one is? also, plenty of quality movies have come out recently... that's definitely a you thing.

I go to the cinema maybe 8-10 times a year, depending on how many good movies are released in a year. Pre-pandemic I would also go to the theater -- plays and musicals -- 2-3 times a year (pre-pandemic, because live productions haven't restarted yet in my area). Life just isn't the same if you do everything in your living room.

My partner and I also go to the "Director's Club" cinemas, which is basically just the cinema experience with giant individual lazy boy chairs and tons of personal space. Very nice experience. I can't imagine watching a movie like Dune anywhere other than a cinema screen.

I really can't see cinemas ever "dying", because people want to go out and have experiences, even if that experience is just sitting down and watching a movie on a giant screen.

With top gun becoming one of the top grossing movies of all time, movie theaters are fine.

It’s currently at number 11, Spider-Man NWH is at number 6 and it’s less than a year old

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I mean Top Gun isn't Marvel and I saw that.

I think the biggest issue is Tickets cost $15-20 each and then Popcorn and drinks for 4 cost easily $80.00 so to go to a movie theatre it costs us like $200.00 so yeah the whole $20.00 rental at home sounds way better to me in most cases.

OK and? Idk what your post has to do with mine.

[prwraith]

Idk the idea of paying for a movie theater ticket is lawl. The *experience* is such bullshit. Just the tagline they use to sell you on why you should see xyz in a theater.

It's a completely irrelevant and unnecessary luxury, except unlike most luxury's you have to share this space with peoples families and their kids? Fuckkkk that. And fuck your kids and their loudass nonsense in the middle of a movie lmao.

I was agreeing with you. 2 movies in the last year cracking the top 11 of all time is a definitive sign that cinemas are not dead

[Sanguinerd]

I'm more comfortable at home, theres no annoying people there (apart from me) and I can eat, pause and piss whenever I feel like it.

Ohh I'm sorry.

I wasn't sure what you were trying to get at, honestly I thought it was some kind of "Spiderman" is better post lol!
