The mega-exhibitor disclosed its busiest Wednesday through Sunday box office this year, as animated tentpoles, including ‘Inside Out 2,’ rule the multiplex.
I went from being an avid movie theater goer to almost never going after the pandemic. The cinema experience has really gone down the drain. The only movies I watched in the cinema this year are Dune Part 2 and Oppenheimer, and only in IMAX. My criteria nowadays is it should be a movie worth watching in IMAX or Dolby and it should be a good movie at the minimum. Otherwise, I'll just watch it at home.
I've actually been going a lot more. When you go to a smaller movie that's been out for a week you basically have the place to yourself. My small local theater recently replaced all the seating with recliners which is a real treat. I've really come to appreciate just sitting in a dark room free of distractions (kids jumping around their room before bed, a dog that wants over and under the blankets constantly, my wife's phone). The theater is my little getaway.
