Comment movie theater experience (Score 1) 664
The movie theaters need to remind people of the compelling reason to go to the theater. For me it's the experience of being in a crowd of people who are all excited about the movie and the collective response to the movie.
If Star Wars Episode 27 was released on DVD and in the theater the same day, theaters would still sell out. Why? Because opening night is a great experience due to the other fans who are also excited about it.
What makes theaters bad is the experience after those first precious viewings when people show up that are less interested in the film. Why are they there if they are going to be text-messaging or making jokes with friends? Those are best done with a DVD viewing... MST3k acts at home.
