Six bucks for a first run movie in 2025 seems incredibly cheap. But if you can get it, do it! That's always been my motto. ;)
You could probably get it too… most theater chains offer discounts on Tuesdays…. But you are not interested in movies…. Just complaining about box office and theme parks financials even though both don’t correlate in the same bucket
No, not really. I mean, it's fun for me to recap the weekends and marvel (no pun intended) at some of Disney's most horrific box office bombs in recent years while the Parks Division cheaps out left and right and offers very little that is new or fresh.
Finally said what we all suspected you only care about Disney’s perceived bombs
But tracking individual movies on Tuesdays and extrapolating what that must mean for matinee business at suburban discount theaters?
It is not just matinees it is an all day discount…. I have gone at night at my local (usually full price) theater and it was fairly crowed
Are you ashamed of yourself? Do you sleep well at night, knowing that in Wellington, Kansas they only have non-reserved seats that don't recline and a lone snack bar with sticky counters and stale Raisinets and a Pepsi machine that needs a CO2 charge?
They have theaters everywhere with reserved leather recliner chairs… it is the standard now..,maybe you have not noticed because you have not been to the cinema much since the Carter administration

Unfortunately a few of my friends made me go see Captain Human 2014. It was awful like people have said, and it felt like 3 movies put together. If this was the best scenes they had left, I wouldn't want to ever see the bad ones.

Congrats Disney you destroyed another character.

Seems to be the trend for most movies now. I think week one is a good indicator of the regular movie theater goers excitement and every week after that is a result of water cooler talk, I think word of mouth is more important than it’s ever been.


My local theater is amazing, leather lazy boy style seats, food, drinks, less than $10 for a matinee… and I still prefer watching at home.

TVs are so large and crisp, and surround systems so good, that a lot of the movie theater advantage has been lost, while the negatives (people talking, bright phone screens, missing part of the movie to use the restroom, etc) still exist.

Unless it’s a date night, night out with friends, etc I simply can’t justify going to the theater anymore, not from a financial perspective, from an enjoyment perspective, I’d rather watch from the comfort of home.
lol I have an old small non-smart tv that sits on the floor with no sound system and I'd still rather watch movies on that when they get to Disney+ than spend $20 to go out to a theater. That's just stupid expensive when you can BUY the movie for the price of seeing it once at a theater.
