Yes. But even before the pandemic hit the US and was a thing, I wasn't seeing as many movies as I used to. During lockdowns, I did not go to the theater, obviously. For a while, no one seemed to know if the theaters were open, even when many restrictions lifted, it seemed like they were still closed, a lot of them.

I think I've been to maybe four or five movies since I found they were open. If they required masks, I wore a mask. If they weren't required at a theater, and no one was around, I didn't.

I generally love films, and I like the ambiance of going to a theater. Yes, when I can't get to it in the theater, I hope it shows up on a streaming service I own, and it's usually cheaper, etc... but I still think I prefer the theater. Gets me out of the house.

I only went once to see black panther again.

They were doing a re play.

Other than that, I keep forgetting that going to movies is a thing.

I wonder if it will die out because I never see anyone when I drive by theaters.

I kinda like going because the big screen is more exciting than my beat up TV

I just started going and have been twice now.  I saw The Batman and X The Batman was 7/10 and X was like a zero, we left before it was even over... lol

High school science class “germ test” field trip was an eye opener. Theater seats blew public restrooms and restaurant dumpsters results out of the water. Nope.

I got a big flat panel TV and hung it in my family room. I hooked it up to my stereo system. It has been a good alternative to going to a theater. It is good to be able to pause it and get a snack or go pee. Also the local movie theater was bulldozed a year ago.

RationalMale · Answer

Yes. 2-3 times since it began 2020. Given I have a decent 4k TV, paying like $14 just for a basic AMC screening on a blurry screen seems like a rip off. You have to pay more like $18 to have a decently sharp movie theater screen these days...

So me and my girl can have steak dinner and cheesecake at home on a 4k tv in our own comfort vs the price of a blurry screen with strangers and popcorn at the movie theater.

wankiam · Answer

Yes I have people still go to the movies it’s just not as crowded as before. You can’t be a huge giant movie theater screen compared to watching a laptop at home that absolutely sucks
