I hear its like center, 2/3s the way near the back? That the best seats?
Idk… I’ve literally never been to a movie theater…
(Like can anyone circle the best seats in your opinion?)
Also the IMAX… its says imax standard but I don’t think its technically a “real IMAX” theater. Ticket prices are the exact same as the supposedly “standard” theaters so yea I think its its either false advertising or the “non imax” got upcharged to the same price… weird but okay…
Also worth nothing that while consession prices seem insane and definitely are very high - stupidly high - on the other hand, most theatres are barely scraping by, so I view it as part of the ticket cost keeping them alive.
I also rarely see movies in theatres.
Saw Kiki’s Delivery Service a week or two ago - tix were around $20 each, and we spent $15 on a soda and popcorn to share. So instead of $40 on tickets, I think of it as $55 on tickets (wife and me), and that’s not something I can do often, but I don’t mind the extra money supporting the business. I know not everyone would agree.
I keep a look out for showings of classic movies at my preferred theater. It’s like 5 bucks and they only show during the afternoons so low audience. I always buy popcorn, soda, whatever the spouse wants to support. They’re showing the matrix and the dark night right now.
ooh, both good choices!
I also follow that pattern for small local theaters, but the huge national chains can kiss my ass. It helps that local theaters feel welcoming while the giant chains are are manufactured
I read a book once where a character with a sensitive nose kept referring to the popcorn butter-like chemical as “pee” and that really fits My experience as well. The stuff is not good and does not taste like butter but is admittedly addicting
