Wife and I have amc a list stubs account. For two years during covid we were
basically the only people seeing the movie. Before Maverick maybe 7 in the
theatre. A list meant for a Netflix type fee we see unlimited movies.

Is it true you get half the ticket receipts?

I'm biased because I bought a single screen theater in my hometown right
before lockdowns in March 2020.
I offered half the listing price because of covid coming and the sellers
accepted. We've been open since Godzilla in March 2021 and things have been
doing better.
I can say with certainty that my $50k projector and sound system blows any of
your home theaters out of the water haha!
That said, I prefer to watch new releases alone on days we're closed or after
the public shows because people are generally annoying. Getting up to use the
bathroom, dropping things on the wood floor, talking, etc. All the things you
all hate, I hate too. But we keep a clean theater, have the best popcorn I've
ever tasted, we're friendly, and I'm renovating things slowly over 2-3 years to
repair and upgrade this 1937 theater.
We just added a small 2nd screen upstairs so we can show more than one movie at
a time. 4k laser projector is coming next year with heated recliners too.
The movie industry is not dead and continues to be resilient coming out of
covid. The downside to this industry is we rely on good movies being released.
If the studios release a bunch of duds, theaters don't do well. So we're at the
mercy of the product that shows on our screens.
Top Gun Maverick is one of my favorite movies now! I've seen it 3 times and
we're bringing it back for a week again starting July 1 because it did so well
for us in the first 2 weeks we had it. I'll watch it a 4th time.

Not quite everything for me. For live events that have CC, the CC
is about 10-15 seconds behind the actual dialog, so I turn it off
because it becomes distracting.
Sometimes when they have CC, there is silence after the person
has said something that appears to me to be a complete sentence,
yet the CC adds some pithy little thing that (I think) they didn't
actually say.

Captions, so you can understand what is being said, and
Being able to pause for snack breaks (or rebooting the
laundry) far outweigh the draw of the big screen for us.
Although, When I stream, is it truly using my 9.2 surround?

I detest the movie theater. theres always
fools with phones on, smacking their lips, talking.
God only know what communicable diseases youre
catching off the seats. they dont even use real butter
anymore.
I remember seeing movies like Airplane and
whatnot in the theaters and watching people get up
and leave at the credits and missing the funny stuff
in them. And rolling jawbreakers down the isle.

Meh
Wait for streaming.
Didn’t like how they did the
first half.
I really thought Elvis ditched
Col. Tom Parker before he died,
guess not.
