Tell us Sup Forums, why do you think the movie theater experience is dying?

There's no value to it. Theaters literally project movies off a computer. You can get the same experience from literally watching the movie on your computer.

Companies realize this and expect to make their money off DVD sales, streaming, licensing, etc. Box office performance means nothing.

the movies aren't dying
jew social engineering is dying

Dumb luddites believe their 65" LCD and tinny surround sound is better than the theater experience.

I blame the popcorn mines, they've claimed too many lives already.

In many cases it is.

It is though.

>no smelly niggers
>no noisy spics

Literally heaven.

Too much capeshit.

>no obnoxious teenagers trying to engage in coitus
>no niggers shouting advice at the screen
>no fatasses munching ice from their empty cup
>no sitting on a seat that some unwashed pleb sat in

Yeah I'll take my tinny speakers.

Closed must be a good fucking movie if they're showing it and only it on all 5 of their screens year round.

IT IS. I can pause to take a piss, eat and drink whatever I want, and don't have to be surrounded by assholes on their cell phones.

Don't worry. I'm sure the new Star Wars movie will save things

Awful theatre quality with digital projection where my fucking home theatre unironically looks better. People pay to see shit they can't get at home. Film projection, loud sound, spectacle. That combined with the shit movies released this year that are all boring as fuck and capeshit over saturation.

>Amerilards can't sit still for 2 hours without putting something in their mouths or getting up to use the bathroom

Side note: why the fuck have movie theaters gotten so fucking loud? My ears are ringing after every movie I go to now.

Don't forget: no girls putting their bare feet on the top of your seat.

I live in the UK in white town

I've never had any problems going in the cinema, and every time I've gone it's been a memorable experience, far more than at home

Too bad the films all suck

I don't understand how this is annoying.

They're cranking the volume because they know people are talking and shit.

It's been the opposite for me. It felt like theaters were so loud when I was little but not anymore.

That's irritating as fuck.

i only go to to see movies which look good to me. this year ive only gone to see Dunkirk and Logan and as of right now nothing else interests me. last year I dont remember going to a theatre except to see Silence. make better movies you fucking hacks, they dont need to be amazing, but at least have some substance. Logan wasnt the greatest movie ever, but i t definitely was the best capeshit I've seen since Raimi's Spiderman 2

neet here, do they really do that

Too many no singles policies. Sometime these people are going to have to wake up and realize you don't need a companion to watch a movie.

Haha y-yeah.. that'd be awful. I bet they'd smell bad too haha

I enjoy looking around in the summer to see qt feet and legs glistening in the dark during boring parts of a movie. I'm from Canada and the worst it usually gets is people clapping and going "YEAH! WOOO!" when something exciting happens.

haha what if she liked started rubbing them on your head? wouldn't that suck? haha

>tfw a qt 2 rows in front of me takes her shoes off and puts her feet up
How the FUCK am I supposed to be able to watch the movie wth that distracting me?

I'm seriously considering hiring an escort to give me a footjob in the front row while I watch a movie.

>potentially hosing down the ball pit with your load

Fucking monster.

I forgot to add that I'd lube up her feet with some popcorn butter first.

The tricky part is finding one with cute feet and not disgusting unkempt talons.

this desu, may as well rent a theater falcon at that point

>15€ ticket

i prefer free movies.

Average movie theater experience in America:

>Idiot couple arrives after the movie has started, takes 5 minutes to find a seat while they walk in front of everyone

>People checking their cell phones every few minutes, lighting up the theater. One girl stays on her phone for the entire movie texting her friends

>Fat slobs crunching ice from an empty cup, eating popcorn with their mouths open for the whole movie, crinkling plastic candy wrappers

>Endless stream of people getting up to leave the theater to go to the bathroom or whatever

>Idiots talking the entire movie

>Dangerous minorities acting rowdy. Someone tells them to settle down and they get loud and angry, suddenly everyone in the theater is tense

>20 minute of TV commercials shown before ever movie

>Can't reserve seats in most theaters. Must wait in line early if you want a decent seat.

>Theater turns on the house lights the second the credits roll, sometimes even a few minutes before the end of the movie

>Seats are legitimately dirty, floors are sticky, and there's a risk of taking a bed bug home with you.

>Seats are creaky and make noise the whole movie.

It's not the movies themselves it's the fucking theater experience. It sucks.

Watching Kingsman: Secret Service was amazing in the theater. The ending part where Eggsy gets to put it in that girl's bum had the whole theater going wild and cheering, admittedly I got caught up in the moment to and shouted too.

My granddaddy was a popcorn miner until he got yellowlung.

I wonder how much this girl would charge...

Because piracy and online streaming are so prevalent and easy. There is no incentive given to go to the movie theatre. The experience is usually unpleasant and a giant cash drain.
Studios are either going to put enough pressure on the government to make piracy a more prosecuted crime with steeper fines, or they will have to adapt to a new business model where movies are available more easily and effectively kill the theatre industry.

Good job at posting an article from before Wonder Woman and Spider-Man were released.
Wait until summer is over.

Good, theaters should go away, they don't serve any purpose besides being like your phone or laptop but REALLY BIG and hosting non-free content.

I never got used to the crying from the manlet pit. It's unnerving and distracting

GOOD
Stop funding the child molesters who run Hollywood

Yes.

>watch unlimited Kubrick movies all day for free on 65" 4K OLED with perfect black levels, infinite contrast and laser quality color reproduction plus surround sound I can control the volume of and I can pause, rewind, replay the movie as much as I want with nobody to disturb me
Vs
>watch the Emoji Movie once for $20 in a room full of plebs, have to sit through 30 minutes of ads, no pause button, it's a shitty 2K LCD projector

Too much capeshit burnt people out

AINT NOBODY GOT NO DAMN MONIES

If I have money, I'm not going to the movies or buying a physical dead weight. I'll download it and use my money meaningfully.

Heh heh... yeah... that would be... awful...

probably because people don't want to pay $30 - $50 for tickets?

...

Literally the only time in my entire life I felt going to the theatre was better than watching it at home was Pacific rim.

That movie was fucking made to be seen in theaters.

Easy, it's not Netflix, or the economy, or fatigue or any of those bullshit reasons, it's liberals. They ruin everything.

explain how liberals ruin movie theatres (and everything)
hard mode: you can't say any racial slurs or blame problems on women for ridiculous reasons.

Shit movies, and piracy but mostly the former.

Why spend money to see a movie you know will be awful if one can just torrent it without giving the producers money to make shit?

Going out to pay for Jewish indoctrination filth just ain't the night on the town it used to be. I'd also imagine that in many areas a viewing experience without niggers is priceless.

It's pretty obvious that the large part of the blame falls to Disney's monopoly on cinema as a whole. Disney has fingers in every pie, and they release more movies in a year than any other production corporation. They flooded the market with animation, live action remakes, Marvel movies and Star Wars movies, which have led to an increased feeling of exhaustion among the movie-going audience. They set the trend for cinematic universes, which have led to an even greater overflow of reboots and revamps, most of which have failed and further pushed audiences into exhaustion.

Since all these movies are pc and sjw as fuck, they draw in liberals that create an environment no right minded person would want to be in.

This.

anybody here /moviepass/ ?

i think mine will show up tomorrow

my to see list in order is baby driver, logan lucky, wind river, spiderman, planet of the apes, atomic blonde, (after this point it is just for the keks) lego batman, valerian, girls trip, and then detroit

>Since all these movies are pc and sjw as fuck
maybe they're just trying to cater to all audiences instead of specifically you?
>they draw in liberals that create an environment no right minded person would want to be in
>tfw you have to call yourself smart to not feel like an idiot for being an asshole to everyone

>maybe they are trying to cater to all audiences
That in itself is a problem. The movie loses focus when all you're worried about is having as many non whites as possible. I'm not an asshole to the people, I just don't want to be around them because they look and act like children. If they don't want to be around me then that's fine too.
