@Kit It's just a different experience to see the picture on a bigger screen.

But why has the quality gone up over the years, as shown in the graph?

Cushioned, motorized reclining seats with footrests. Thick armrests so that you have a little personal space from your neighbors. And, they still got the drink holders. Quite different than the cheaper plastic seats from two decades ago.

And all that for only $40 a ticket! What a deal.

The luxury one my wife and I go to is in the rich part of a Californian town: 13 for matinee and 20 for most other time slots

I've never seen a movie ticket go for more than 25 anywhere but IMAX or for an incredibly special showing of something

I literally just got a ticket for Deadpool. $34.76 after taxes and fees. I'm not pulling this shit out of my ass. I love movies, but theater prices are getting insane for not a lot better of an experience from my home theater at this point.

It's getting harder and harder to justify, sadly.

Yeah I'm not sure that's the norm. My theater prices are more in life ne with the person you're replying to. I love in the Midwest.

Id like to add in on this, there are more dine in theaters than there use to be. Big one in my area would be thluie Alamo Draft House. Quality isnt what it use to be, but is still better than most. They also tend to reshow alot of older movies, will never forget seeing the original Predator movie and they were handing you a kids cap gun with a pack of the round ring of ammo on your way to the seats.

Yeaaaah, that's really not that common. In many places the only thing that's been going up is the price (also the amount of ads before the movie)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Well, for one the volume has gone up.

I have a 65" oled tv. Pretty sure my tv has better picture quality than the movie theater. I'd much rather prefer to watch at home and not have to sit near 100 people coughing, thank you very much.

Also the quality of food at the dine-in theaters is disgusting. I ordered a chicken sandwich from my local theater earlier this year (went to see dune 2) and immediately felt nauseous and had to shit.
