i was going to WTF your post, then i realized that when my dad was still alive we used to hit the theater every other week and pay for one film and sneak into one or two others for funzies. so yeah, i was at 50-75 films a year for decades. not including going with friends and GFs, so add another 25. i never really thought about it before. since my dad passed, i have too much nostalgia wrapped up into going to the movies and i cant go on my own anymore.

Just Spider-Man I think. Probably nothing over the entire Covid period.
Used to watch every Marvel movie but just caught a couple on Disney Plus and missed a few. Spider-Man was the only one with good buzz/word of mouth.
If they had much cheaper tickets and much cheaper snacks, I would be going every month and spending way more money with them. I always used to buy popcorn but I had enough with the prices they charge, now I've had enough of paying for the movies too.
If they want it to be a premium experience then they get premium experience attendance.
Movies being woke garbage doesn't help either.

They just try and squeeze every last drop of cash out of you which is always the sign of a dying buisness.

when i was a kid i could afford to go see movies every week on my allowance. saturday afternoon matinee was like 3 dollars for admission. 2 dollars for a fountain drink, 2 for popcorn. i just bought a coke and candy bar from the store and only paid the admission.

Zero which is sort of disappointing because the local movie theater just did a major remodel and I wanted to check it out. Having to drive an hour home afterwards just makes it seem like hassle. I actually planned to see Top Gun but then when the day came I decided to just go home instead.

The one I went to at least changed the seating. They are all plush seats, that all recline and are spaced out 2 at a time(obvious for couples). But it's still just so expensive. The tickets themselves for just 2 hours usually and snacks or a drink are just insane. Especially when you know they buy all that crap for much cheaper in bulk. The ticket cost I could see being somewhat out of their control(though I really have no clue how that works).
But like others have said, with tech you can get at home , you can get a pretty damn good movie experience, in the comfort of your own home and spend maybe 6 bucks on a popcorn and soda at any grocery store.

We were only going to 2-4 a year as it was. Then covid hits and everything is shut down. Shit reopens but you gotta mask - fuck that. Now everything is normal but I'm used to just waiting a bit and seeing it on Netflix or Prime. The fuck I wanna risk getting shot by some random nog at a place trying to charge me $15 for a popcorn?
We may go see Violent Night, but likely just wait for it to hit Netflix/Prime.

I haven't been in a long time. Eons. Rude people killed it for me. I can't imagine how bad it is now that people are even worse and have cell phones.
That, and there's what...1-2 decent films being made a year now?

4, which is massively less than a normal year (20-30ish would be normal). Dropped about 10k during Covid converting my living room into a theater, so not much point in going to a commercial theater for a worse experience. Every film that I saw this year was while traveling.
Spider man with the family in Phoenix. Everything Everywhere visiting friends in Vegas.
Banshees of Irisherin & Violent Night both this week as I was in Minnesota for work and had fuck all to do at night.
I'm guessing 1-3 per year moving forward tops, especially if I stay in this house long term.
