Re: Of course the theaters hate it We also need to keep in mind that the theaters don't make any money of showing the films, thats why prices for food are so high.
You'd think that MPAA would do more to keep the theaters in business because without the theathers the MPAA will loose a lot of eyeballs that are not willing to pay that 30-50 bucks to see a first day release.
I still go to the theathers quite a bit because I love the large screen and the sound system. Additionall, I love it when the entire theater screams, jumps or laughs together, that makes the experience great for me but the teens yapping on the phone and with eachother and the litle ones crying and making other noise and idiots that don't know how to turn off their phones tick me off too.
But to avoid most of that my best friend and I usually catch the first shows of the day. We avoid all the trouble makers by going early so I still enjoy a good theater experience for now. |
