As a result, I've grown very selective about what I see in the theater. I figure I'll see this, Dunkirk, and after that, probably nothing until the new Blade Runner comes out.

That sounds like here in Hollywood. I took my Dad and oldest to see Rogue One on opening night. $60 dollars for three tickets, $15 for popcorn and a drink for the kid, $6 dollars parking. It was totally worth it because Rogue One was awesome (and maybe the best Star Wars movie yet) but I can't justify doing that for animated films, comedies and so on. I'd rather wait a few months and purchase the Blu Ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo for $19.99, throw the movies on VUDU so the kids can watch them on their iPads, and call it a day. Plus, Disney has an exclusive deal with Netflix so even the animated films and Marvel films are showing in no time.
I'd love to see Dunkirk in IMAX (I saw the 10 minute trailer before Rogue One in IMAX) and it was absolutely amazing. But the nearest IMAX is at Universal Citywalk and it's freaking $20 dollars for parking and $28 for an IMAX ticket.
I might just wait for a screener.
