My problem is there are so few good movies coming out. I’m completely over the superhero crap. I don’t want to see the next random Star Wars thing. I don’t want a remake of a classic film I loved when I was younger.
There are some originals coming out, and that makes me happy, but I think the key is having good movies people actually want to see.
That said I’m interested in seeing Sinners, but I’ll probably wait to stream it, lol.
Also, I’d prefer to rewatch stuff that it’s best enjoyed at the cinema. I don’t want a remake. Just rescreen the original movie, I’d totally pay for it
Some smaller, local theaters allow you to do that, you can rent out the the entire theater and have them play a Blu-ray of the film on their projector.
The only problem is that it’s absurdly expensive, since you’d be paying for every seat in the theater.

Lots of good movies come out all the time, they’re just not as aggressively marketed as superhero movies, mainly because they’re not as profitable as big-budget movies.

That’s not necessarily true. Just because a movie is good doesn’t mean it will make money for the studios/theaters.
From last year, we had “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”, “Transformers One”, and “The Fall Guy” - all good movies that bombed at the box office.
That said I’m interested in seeing Sinners, but I’ll probably wait to stream it, lol.
…and this attitude is why we will never get good original movies.
On Wednesdays during the day lol
please come back :(
-AMC
Stop charging me $50 to watch a movie or I’ll just wait or go somewhere else.
- many people
I like to calculate enjoyment per hour for cost. Red dead 2 took me 120 hours for $60. That’s 50 cents an hour, and not counting the now many replays. So there’s a good bar.
Then you have the movies, who now want upwards of 12-14 dollars an hour of enjoyment. Or I just wait until I can get it at home.
Now, there’s a lot of variable there, something being more expensive does not mean bad, I can justify the costs if I want it enough or if I’m, say, looking forward to a specific movie. But they’re fighting for our leisure time, our Friday and Saturday nights, and for that cost it’s just not worth going to the movies and “seeing what’s showing” anymore. They nickel and dimed us out of that experience. Why go spend $40-50 dollars for 2 to go see a movie when we could rent one at home, or play a game, or any number of things?
I can’t imagine playing red dead for 120 hours, pure torture.
Hits digital a few months later which means it hits my Plex server a few months later.
In Australia, we mostly have the equivalent, which is ‘tight-arse tuesday’
Plenty of other theaters in the US do discount days, AMC is just catching up now but probably too late.
My local independent cinema just has a flat price of $10.
Too little too late. I used to love going to the movies a few times a year growing up. Now I rarely see a movie worth watching, much less worth paying that much money. The medium has kind of died to me, and I took an elective in school specifically because I enjoyed movies so much.
Go see The Ballad of Wallace Island.
