SPOCKxDATA :
I disagree with the idea that a cheap theater could not work in this day and age. Lots of people love going to the theater but the prices are RIDICULOUS .

Stop Taking Nonsense :
My local chain has $5 (or maybe it’s $6 now?) Tuesdays to fill the gap left by closing of second run theaters. Works for all titles but 3D and large format.

Nolan can’t even get it in his contract anymore that a movie has to stay in theaters so many days. Oppenheimer was the last picture on that deal and they won’t give that perk back to him for sure

I just don’t want to sit in a big room with other people. I’d much prefer just to sit on couch in front of my own big screen and surround sound.

Smaller movies only stay in theaters for like a week now. If I hadn't gone to see anora opening weekend, I would have had to wait for it on vod.

We used to have two theaters. One played all the big blockbusters, the other played the smaller Indyish type of movies and second run. Now we only have one & those smaller movies just to make it here

With big TVs being cheap. And having a subscription service. It’s easier to just stay home then going to a theater with people talking and being on their phones

$100 mil+ budgeted movies should not cost the same as $5 mil budgets. I don’t go to a restaurant an expect everything to be same price. More tix sold means more soda and popcorn sales too

Cord Jefferson’s speech last year didn’t do anything to change studios’ interest in mid-budget pictures. 🤷♂️Like you, I hope I’m wrong.

I remember dollar theaters when I was a teen. That was a great way to see older movies on the big screen

Sean baker should have had a intamacy coordinator and you never question his continued exploitation of a demographic At some point his poverty porn is exhausting, also how do his films cost so little , he must be exploiting labour somewhere , whether it’s casting real people who don’t get paid properly

Hudson123 :
Even if the movie makes money it will still be on VOD in 2 weeks the only difference is it will stay in theaters. It’s crazy I’m glad Sean is doing his part to call them out. Sean easily after

We can bemoan the current state of things, or just accept the new normal. The cost relative to the value of going to the movies isn’t there anymore. There’s too many viable alternatives.

Philip Obenschain :
I actually think there’s an extremely viable business model for non-new releases if you programmed a mix of second run and repertory fare, especially at a sub-$10 ticket. Some theaters do but not many

it's interesting in conversations like this people talk about Netflix and streamers but NEVER how salaries aren't keeping up with inflation

Pat in Fort Collins :
I think their needs to be more creativity in the revenue models. like combine a full candy store with the second run MT or bring in food trucks F/Sa/Su- large merch/gift shop selection etc

I don't mind the prices, but I do mind them when the theaters are dirty or they don't enforce a code of conduct.

There’s just no reason to see it in a room full of noisy strangers eating pizzas and nachos and talking unless it’s like a big 70 mm IMAX or something. A big home TV is a more “theatrical” experience.

Movie studios figured out they can make more money if they cut out the middleman (theaters)

Studios don’t give movies that would do well in a theater a chance.

AMC constantly has cheaper showings of “fan favorites” for $8. Same price for Screen Unseen showings. People just want to only see Marvel opening night in imax and complain about $

I think there’s some room for growth for experiential theater experience. Making movies more communal for audiences - almost like cafes. Only way to entice people to go I think

Fr tho the closest movie theater to me is like 30 miles away. Why spend all that time and money and gas when I can just wait a little bit and stream it on one of my apps

I always enjoy a movie more at the theater even tho I hate crowds. Once the lights dim I completely forget about my phone and get immersed into the film.

A big part of why theaters are dying is the ridiculous fees studios charge to exhibit their films!

@Vidiots Foundation in LA, among a handful of others, shows movies old and new and their screenings are packed. Ppl do want to watch movies in theaters-- ones that are good and meaningful.

I really think there's an untapped market for more places like Alamo Draft House. Focus on good food and play second run or classic movies.

I feel like movie theaters are still cheap honestly. It’s still basically the same price as a decade ago. They still have matinees. They have discount Tuesdays. Idk why everyone says it’s expensive

Dynamic pricing. Movie theaters make money off of consession anyway right? So sell me a ticket to Anora for 5 bucks while selling me a ticket to Cap America for 15.
