This is a luxury i didn’t know existed until me and my friend went to Transformers One and we were the only ones in that theater.
There’s something so freeing about not needing to whisper when telling someone something during a movie, not having to hear any strangers during the movie, or seeing people get up in front of you.
If it was possible I’d honestly never watch a movie with a full theater again.

I go to the movies to watch the movie. At no point have I ever wanted to talk to someone while watching the movie. No one should be saying anything. And at the Alamo that’s generally the case, they kick you out if you talk or have a crying baby. That’s why I love Alamo Drafthouse, they have rules. I can order food straight to my table without saying a word, just write it down and stick it up in the slot. Phones have to be dark and silent.
Most fun theater experiences are really hyped movies with large fanbases (like Infinity War) on release day, and those are maximum capacity.
Oh hell yeah! I always go on Wednesday afternoons. The theatre is almost empty. The one time I went on a weekend, everybody had their phones out, the light from it was distracting. Some were talking on their phone, others taking pictures/videos of the screen and posting on their snapchats. Some wouldn’t shut up the entire time. Absolute hell! Wtf you here if not to watch the damned movie.
Wait till you start going alone for a matinee. I think I went once and just had the best nap ever
Haven’t been to a movie theater since dark knight IMAX.
I think there’s two sides of the extreme- it’s AWESOME, when there’s either nobody there, OR if it’s something like Star Wars ( don’t judge, just an example) and the crowd is really into it. Both of which are rare, but I’ve been to both and it’s great lol
My best friend and I used to work at a movie theatre together like 15 years ago. And we’d go see movies that were in like their 8th week of playing in the smallest theatre, when it was empty, and basically mystery science theatre 3000 it.
This only means you need to get busy creating a home theater!
Its been well over 15 years since I created mine and you couldn’t pay me to go to a movie theater!!!
Same going to the swimming pool and hot tub
