My point is partly that not only do cinemas have to deal with managing all these people in there, they also have to compete with significantly better AV setups in people’s homes. Screens are much bigger, OLED, with surround sound at home. And at home I CAN press pause.
When cinemas were a big thing, people were lucky and wealthy if that had a 40” plasma at home. Now, you can get a 55” screen for the price of taking the family to a cinema 4 times.
That’s a very valid point. I think it’s more about the experience of going there with your friends, ordering popcorn etc.
I’ve been to the cinema alone, but that’s usually only if I reeeally want to see the movie ASAP and it’s not out anywhere else in the seven seas (if you know what I mean). Other than that it’s always been about going there with friends. Kind of like music festivals - I enjoy them for every reason except the music part :D (with exceptions)
I was definitely being facetious 😄
