And for these reasons, I’m out

What a time to be alive!

movies are dead

Sing-alongs have been around for a while. Went with my gay friend to a Sound of Music one and we sung the songs while high on coke. It was fun

I already do all these things even in non-musicals. Except texting, fuck phones

Dude...

Weed...

Make films that inspire people to even a fraction of how Bollywood and Tollywood do.

went to a sing along on a date with a gay guy

LMAO

lol this reads like desperation. Movie theaters from a technological standpoint stopped needing to exist after streaming services came around, but they needed to charge 8-15 dollars per screening to justify their entire business model. COVID dealt the final blow, and sped things up probably by 10 or 15 years of what was already a huge decline.

Articles like this are such insane cope that their entire business model is collapsing. The trend is for cheaper, faster, content, and to have consumers continaully glued to the device rather than going out to a theater.

Oh and studios putting clips and trailers on youtube and shit only made their competitors STRONGER. Youtube, instagram, etc are literally movies arch nemesis yet they opened them with open arms! They should have made their own trailer and clip sites like 20 years ago and did away with youtube.

my ex wife took my daughter to see the taylor swift eras tour in movie theaters and thats all it was. it was an entire movie theater full of fat white millenniall women and their daughters running up and down the aisles singing along to taylor swift louder than the screen.

couldnt be me. but i can see why theaters would want to replicate that level of engagement.

That art style perfectly encapsulates the Jewish dystopia we live under.

kikes do love nigger culture and musicals

you know what will really make people want to go to the movies more?

if we had more people talking, texting, and smoking in the theater

translation: "we need more black people"

how about they just make movies that aren't aimed at 12yos or women

That soulless corpo art style always gets me. Ew.

how about they just make movies that aren't aimed at 12yos or women

because most grown men will either wait 6 months till it's on netflix, or just download it. it's not a reliable revenue stream.

I'm an old man. I'm not paying $20 to sit my ass in a big room full off zoomers, joggers, and women just to get a big screen experience, unless its another Alien or Saw movie.

$10 popcorn

$10 cheap ass slop hot doggo

$5 soda and $2 refills

"NO you can't bring in your OWN food, you have to eat OUR SLOP"

One of many, but a big reason theaters are dying. Expensive asf when you can just go home and stream the damn thing for 1/10th the cost. Even gimmick theaters with bars and booze are still expensive and the mixed drinks are ass.

i wear a big hoodie and fill my pockets with dollar tree movie boxes. The day they ask to see my pockets is the day i stop handing money to their establishment at all.

Didn't the US government give them a bailout before they would have "crashed"?

Honestly, if you want to save film, you need to put DOGE/Musk on the task. I'm sorry Democrats, but wokeness has killed Anon Babble.

Jessica Garcia, a college student in Michigan, loves movies but can’t remember the last time she saw one in a theater. “I just like streaming things and sitting on the couch with my phone and snacks, second screening,” she says. “If there’s a boring part, I’ll just jump on Instagram or TikTok quick until things get going again.”

A weed cinema sounds incredibly based. Imagine some comedy movie and people laughing hysterically. Amerifags need not apply though.

Last time I went to the theater like a year ago, it was one with a bar/alcohol. I grabbed my small popcorn and went for a medium drink. The cost was outrageous and I started shit talking with the employees, having a laugh.

I look towards the bar and asked how much for a large beer? It was less $$ than the fucking Diet Pepsi! In what world does alcohol cost less than soda pop? I got a beer instead even though I had 4 beers already hidden on my person.

I never EVER want to hear shit from Zoomers ever again. Every single day there's a thread on here of them complaining about Millennials, meanwhile they're like this. I'm not even sure the average Zoomer is sapient.

Weed attracts niggers. Sorry, but it's a simple fact.

What if they just made good movies?

globohomo art

this will fix our movie

weed cinema

you're not allowed to bring in your own weed, you must buy it here from us.

price is $40 per gram

So does fried chicken, watermelon, corn, seafood, gravy, water, oxygen etc.
You didn't consume any of those recently did you?

sounds gay and harmful to your soul

Just smoke a big bowl before the movie. Maybe top up with a small dry herb vape in your pocket halfway through the film. But you should be fine for 1.5 hours if your tolerance isn't shit.

weed is never gonna be cool again, i'm sorry

I have literally never been to a theater that didn’t let you fill up your own drinks at those touch screen coke machines. You probably only go to Alamo Drafthouse or some shit and are surprised that it’s an overpriced gimmick

I see you are already getting seething replies from USSA facebook losers who blindly listen to their christcuck lawmakers. They would be crying over alcohol existing if it wasn't already legal today.

Movie theaters were already de-segregated.

My town has a locally owned theater that only shows older movies and it serves alcohol and food and it’s packed every Friday and Saturday night. When they show Home Alone and It’s A Wonderful Life and Gremlins and other Christmas movies every day of December it’s packed all day everyday.

weed was made legal so it isn’t cool

Did silent gen boomers think this when alcohol was made legal after prohibition in their lifetime? Because nobody else thinks that and it’s an odd thing

Alcohol and cigarettes have a panache to them that marijuana never will.

Kek you just might have unintentionally exposed why a weed theater is such a retardedly desperate idea

Fuck! I forgot about gravy. I'm such a nigger :(

Still... do you want to watch a film thru vape clouds?

Cigarettes aren’t cool, boomboom. Smelling like shit isn’t cool, rotted out corn teeth isn’t cool, etc

They just demolished a huge theater where I live. It's now a parking lot covered in rubble. COVID killed it it's been empty for years. I bet 50 percent of theaters will be demolished or refitted to become something else in the next 10 years

If the theater was filled with the scent of Sydney Sweeney’s bung musk whenever she was on screen would it get you to the theater?

Does dollar tree have self checkout?

how about a blowjob from an asian qt? and an empty theater. You know what, you dont even need a movie playing.
Actually, I would pay MORE if I dont have to go somewhere and I can just order the prostitute from an app
I guess what im saying is stop trying to sell me something I dont want and actually let me purchase something I do?

/Thread

All replies after that are niggers

why do you ask

Buy a ticket to a movie right now and don't buy any popcorn or drinks. It's similar.

The appeal would be more so stuff like edible goodies or weed drinks. Imagine an Avengers flavored gummy sold exclusively at theatres. Don't tell you wouldn't try one. Stop lying.

Idk why anons don't load up beforehand instead of paying the kinotax at the kinoplex.

They probably feel you're more likely to buy more than one beer.

I hate talking to the checkout person not because I steal. I drive by one every day and never went in

They probably feel you're more likely to buy more than one beer.

And then let me drive home?

That sounds irresponsible, even for AMC.

Let me light off fireworks with the boys

Sounds like social anxiety. I had it too but I got over it.
You just gotta realize it's all in your head. You think people are thinking about you but really nobody's thinking about you.
I say maybe 5 words to a cashier while they ring me out.

Hi

Hi

Find everything ok?

Yep

Okay your total is X

Card

Do you need a bag or receipt?

No

Alright you're all set have a good day

Thanks

How about CYOA gacha movies?

Uhh, what about munchies? Hello??
Stoners will easily buy way more food than a regular movie theatre. Get them a rare chocolate box and they gobble that shit up.

The only thing that would get me to really start going to the movie theater with the same frequency that I used to would be to have an immersive experience in a way that I cannot get at home, simple as. What does that look like?

I don't know.

Getting your dick sucked by the lead actress

Smoking outside and sitting at a table in a beer garden or any outside set up is great. It's indoors where it bothers people. I'm so old I used to smoke in bars before it became illegal. They used to give out cigarettes 2 packs at a time if you gave camel or Marlboro your email address

Can't imagine what it's like being introverted. The other day I started talking to some moms on the trains and they eventually invited me their small town for breakfast the next morning and I attended their local pie baking contest. Didn't even bother keeping in touch because there's always more adventures out there but it was a fun experience.

You can't let anxiety rule you to that degree anon. Like the other guy said they've forgotten you less than a minute after you've left. It's not healthy to be that fearful of human interaction, try to work on it for your own sake.

Video games are more popular than movies now. Only audience "choose your own adventure" movies will bring people back to the theater.

weak bait

Don't tell me you support "Big Theater"?

I'm sorry, but snacks should never cost more than your movie ticket. It's why people sneak candy into theaters.

I've gotten a blowjob from an Asian QT before but not at the theater. Nobody goes to the theater anymore because AMC sucks!

Sounds like your "friend" is not the only one who's gay. Good luck with your impending AIDS diagnosis.

we just shoot each other

Wild night platter.jpg

all the attendees would look like this

Nah anon is pretty right. I'm not saying you should be an active smoker and knock back packs or even a pack a week but having a cig or three outside while drinking or hitting a cigar with some whiskey or pils is comfy and tasty as fuck.

is this you

McKenna Grace smokes. So did my parents. So you can just shut the F up!

my only problem with cigarettes is that I like to smoke one a day, and they come in a pack of 20, and once you crack open that pack, they're stale by like day 7 max. So then you can either smoke more, or deal with smoking dry shit that tastes like paper for the next 13 days.

Loosies should be legal

they should invent cigarettes that don't kill you or something.

Loosies should be legal

now THATS a law that i would actually go vote for

Four?

Just get into cigarillos. Nice ones aren't too expensive and come in tins of 6 often times.

Every product, institution and industry that used that illustration style eventually died off

They will do absolutely everything except make good movies

Just get into cigarillos.

unfiltered

can't inhale

thanks but that's not for me

I mean there are better views to enjoy but i bet the vibe is kino.

looks like very little traffic

tasty beer

good smokie

that pre-fall chill in the area that inspires that nostalgic shiver

so sorry you never experience this.

Dude I wanna do this but all my bros are straight faggots

These posts are very antisemitic

Guess who killed cinema? Taking away sexy women doesn't seem like a good idea.

i dont want this

t. doesn't watch anything but commercial slop

dude lmao

aren't we talking about movie theaters?

columnist has pot brain-rot

Nope

texting, weed

Nah, fuck that. Just bring some pryotechnics.
