Are Cinemas_Theaters still Alive in your Area?

once ins our area there where like almost more than 10 huge movie theaters, now it's like there's just about 2 of them.

with the advent of cheap huge LED TV's & affordable 1080p/ 4K Projectors you can now take the Cinema experience in your own home. Also the annoyance of some movie goers, like those cellphones or talking about the movies itself  :blah: makes it going to the movies a bad experience for some.

Given that you have your HT setup in your home, are you still willing to go the Movies?  ::)

Nope.

I don't want to watch that many of the new movies. Simply not interested in them. The few I do want to watch - like John Wick 4 and Dune, I simply wait for the DVD.  :-//

DVD?! You know it isn't 1998, right? We have HDR 4k Blu ray now with object based audio that works with as many speakers as you can fit in the room (13 in my case, plus subs).
I still very occasionally go to the cinema, but mostly to hang out with friends or take the kids to a movie they just can't wait for. Most cinemas in my city have comfy power-reclining leather seats with oceans of room, and they serve alcohol if you prefer that over fizzy sugar water.

Kim Christensen:
There's still a couple around here. But what annoys me most is all the commercials and previews they put in at the start. So unless it's an unpopular movie, so you can arrive late and avoid all the crap, it's just not worth going. The only reason I went last time is because I got a gift card.

JPortici:
Yes.
But i don't go anywhere as much as i wanted to, the main reason are the movies themselves.
However one of the cinemas around here has at least two nights a week for special projections (documentaries, mini festivals, anniversary of something) and i've gone like 8 times to those, and two to major movies this year

for example, i see that next week they'll start a month long festival showing the LOTR trilogy for the 20th year anniversary, and another one for all Miyazaki movies because (i don't know why)
I'd much rather see that than indiana jones and the dial of doo-doo
