Are Cinemas_Theaters still Alive in your Area?

I wouldn't know, as I wasn't really interested to watch any of the movies a few months before they come out on streaming, plus Hollywood can go broke because of all the political things it puts in movies. That being said, I probably will watch Dune 2 this year because of the visuals.
firewalker:
I watched around 12 movies for 2023 in the neighborhood cinema. With a walking distance of 2 minutes and a ticket at 5 euros (Monday to Wednesday)...
Alexander.

5 Euros is cheap, compared to the rip-off prices they charge here. I can't remember what it cost last time I went, which would have been about four years ago, but it was much more than that.
I don't have any streaming services, Blu-ray or DVDs at home either.

5 years ago is was a lot more than that in the UK, but prices dropped a lot, and this wasn't a COVID issue. They started cheap days, then everything cheap, before COVID struck.

I'd agree with that; I've seen quite a few mediocre films in the last year or so.
On the other hand, they've still been better than most Netflix own-brand movies, which I initially got quite excited about when I first subscribed, but soon came to realise were a triumph of quantity over quality. A nice thumbnail and click-bait title doesn't make up for a 5.0 score on IMDB (if you're lucky).
