Good call on the popcorn ranting, you're absolutely right that that is how the theatres make their money. I just don't have to like it (I go to the corner store and buy goodies beforehand...shhhh...)

Thu, 10 Nov 2005 22:00:50 +0000 http://www.filmgecko.com/?p=101#comment-89 I think Blaine and I are following each other...but anyways. I couldn't agree with you more on why the theatres are not making as much money. You bring up all the points. Just last week the wife and I went to Doom. A very empty theatre. Some knucklehead and his kids sit behind us which is fine. Previews start and their still talking. That's fine. Movie starts and they still continue to talk. NOT FINE. We ended up moving. On your comment about treats at movie theatres. This about the only way the theatres make money. They make very little off of the movie itself. I went to school with a guy who owned a theatre and he told me that in most cases if it was a big movie 95-99% of the profits on the movie went to the distributor or something like that. Not saying I like paying the price for either one, but that's the facts. I think Mark Cubans idea of releasing movies to all media types at one time is the way of the future.

The lack of quality films coming out is really putting a damper on things as far as I'm concerned. Maybe when I was younger and just wanted to go to a show it wouldn't have mattered so much. I would've just picked whichever one interested me the most, but now I just can't be bothered to spend my time and money on movies that rank below washing my hair on the entertainment scale.

The only thing I could add to that is that over the last 4 or 5 years, the movies that I would be willing to see again has been shrinking at an alarming rate. Instead of half the movies that I go to see at the theater being good enough to go see 2 or 3 times (even if that is after rental for multiple viewings), now I am lucky if I go to a movie I would be willing to see again. If I come out of the majority of movies feeling like I just wasted $8+, then I am less likely to give the next movie a try. Well, I can’t really argue.
