I don't mind going to the theaters but it is pretty pricey especially if you get concessions.

If there was a service that let you watch blockbusters\new releases when they come out at home with a reasonable price then theaters would disappear. And no I am not talking about the movie industry stupid idea of $50\movie or whatever exorbitant price it was.

I'll go to $5 Tuesdays, or the $5 matinees on rainy days. I rarely go full price.We got one of those refillable buckets for popcorn so thats only $4. Its not very cool to carry that into a theatre but I'm not a cool person to anyone but family and friends.

I have an 80in state of the art TV at home with surround sound. Yet, I still like seeing movies on the big screen.I dont see that changing just because I can see it at home on opening weekend.

This is what I do.....I go to the $5 Tuesday movies in the reserved theaters where the reclining seats are nice. And I always wait until the movie has been out a couple of weeks so I am not in a theater with all the distractions that come with the less considerate. (cell phones....chatters and they aren't just teenagers....the guy who likes to narrate the movie because he read the book or just suspects he knows the plot...etc...)

Myself and a group of guys from our church make the Tuesday night out a "guys night" to watch movies we want to see and our wives don't. It's a great way to build friendships...

But I will show my age and say that if I could pay for an "at home" entertainment option for first run movies I would do it in a heartbeat. No worries about the above distractions, I could pause the movie to get more refreshments/bathroom breaks just like I do now with rentals.

I am looking into the MoviePass option....but the recent article I saw about how the industry is saying it is not a sustainable model made me a bit leery. (AMC already balked at certain aspects of participation).

Another article I saw recently spoke to the issue of how "cutting the cord" hasn't been as smooth as everyone thought. I will have to dig that one out.

I think that’s where it is going. The industry will keep leaning towards filling the slate with blockbusters that are formatted to be viewed on giant ass screens.

I pretty much agree with most of what Dane is saying except the "not being able to recreate" the movie theater experience at home.

I've spent a chunk on 4k, dolby atmos, etc. etc. I would much rather watch a film at home (with no cell phones/cell phone lights....no teenagers chatting, etc. etc).

That said - I still go to the theater for movies that I dont want to wait for them to be released for home (or I'm afraid I'll see a spoiler on social media).

I think Dane mentioned this in a different thread a while back - going out to a movie, especially with the new theaters with booze, etc. (and throw in food/parking in some places) - it can cost a small fortune.

That's truly awesome but it's not a luxury afforded by the overwhelming majority of people.

Is the future of America just being a bunch anti-social schlubs that never want to leave their home?

I want to watch everything at home! I want everything delivered to my home! I get that it's easy but geez man the idea of never leaving the house for anything kinda sucks.

I love going out and being social but sitting in a movie theater doesn't really seem very social to me. I go to see big visual blockbusters but as home entertainment systems become bigger and better and cheaper I could easily see myself skipping that as well.

The people who think going to a movie theater is social is the biggest problem with movie theaters.

And crank that volume up. I'm willing to wear ear protection as long as they drown those people out. Not that I see very many films in theaters anymore.

I don't know where you're seeing movies but here in SoCal/Hollywood, my kids need to wear ear protection to reduce the volume, especially for films like Star Wars, Jumanji, etc.

And forget about IMAX. It's so loud that I should probably wear ear protection.

Ive noticed that sound and projection varies alot from theater to theater. I have my favorites in my area and some theaters i flat out refuse to give money to anymore. They dont care about the quality of the presentation.

Agree. We are seeing it more every day.
Two kids sit next to each other and spend all the time on their phones. Maybe texting each other. Ugh.

People are always looking for things to do. Going to a movie is an experience that will always be wanted. Sure you can always watch the movie at home but many ppl just go to movies for a reason to get out of the house.
