Where on earth do you live that the cost of a movie ticket is over $50

Then the box offices shouldn’t have played so fast and loose with investor cash over the past 5 years manipulating its stock price. I used to love going to the movies, not so much anymore, too expensive, dirty and the food options have gotten worse. If I wanted cheap carnival food, ill just go and have a corn dog there next to a waste barrel full of vomit instead of sticky floors and weird smelling chairs in a dark dirty theater.
The pandemic really reiterated how disgusting and inconsiderate people can be. I don’t want to share already questionable space with them while I’m supposed to be enjoying a film.
The last time I saw a movie in a theater was in November, no one could shut the fuck up and I missed at least half of the movie because I was too blown away by the lack of self awareness.
A whole generation of kids missed out on learning movie theater etiquette
Add to everything that people said here the fact that most movies are basically shit
Our city added a B&B theater and I’d probably go to it if they offered a subscription service that competed with AMC’s A List. I love that they have stuff like pickleball and arcade games. I remember the AMC I used to go to had arcade games, pinball, air hockey, and I think even a pool table somewhere. I still go to that AMC nearly twenty years later and they have maybe a few claw machines and the theater is much more run down than it used to be overall.
I think at some point, it may just become untenable for these giant 10-25 screen multiplexes to continue and the theater industry will revert back to smaller 1-5 screen theaters with bars and/or additional entertainment in the front area.
I’ll also add that I don’t think the endless dooming about how there are no good movies is actually true. I go to 75+ movies in the theater a year and I’d say 90% of the ones I see are at least decent. There’s always gonna be some stinkers out there though.

If movie theaters installed electric car chargers and made a package deal for movies and charging they would have plenty of customers.
The last movie I saw in theaters was Godzilla x Kong, the next will be Superman. Not interested in paying $50 to see anything else.
If they want a post-pandemic comeback they have to wait for the pandemic to finish first…
