Does anyone go out to the movie theater anymore?

I don't go to the movie theater anymore. Because the nearest and good cinema is 6 miles away from me. Going to the cinema means I have to pay30.00 to 40.00yuan, that's around 6$ to buy one ticket. after the movie, I must have a meal, that's more or less the same amount of the ticket. If it is cold, I have to taxi home. so altogether, it's around 60.00 (10$). More important, the films showed on the theatre are all old ones. one can expect at most 2 excellent movies throughout a year because the cinema can not afford to buy the copy of the movie.

For us it is just cheaper and easier to stay at home. We've a nice television, lots of movies, plus on-demand. We typically get the kids to sleep, pour a drink, and watch a movie together. We have gone to the movie theatre a few times, especially to see things that just need to be seen on the big screen, but not often. It's just too costly. It would be nice to eventually be in a mother's circle that could share the sitting so we could all get date nights, but unfortunately there are not that many pagan mommies in my neck of the woods.

I sometimes do.But its so expensive, usually I just wait for it to come on DVD or preview channel or pay per view . I love pay per view, you get to see really hot movies almost as soon as they are released.You can watch them in your underwear eating popcorn and no one would no. Not that I have done it but I'm just saying.

Wow, I can't even remember the last time we went to the movie theater. Actually, I can't remember the last time we've even rented a movie. We live in a rural area, so we have to travel about 25 miles to the nearest town (well the nearest town with a theater) to be able to go to the theater. Usually if we want to watch any new movies, we wait for them to come out on video, then we buy several at one time.

I go to the cinema still. I go on days when popcorn and candy costs less when I use my club card.We make it a date night.

My family and I havent' been to the movie theater in years. It cost to much for us to go out and view a movie together, and finding a baby sitter to be able to cut down on the cost at the movie theater is very hard to do. We also aren't very keen on going because it's sometimes hard to hear, if you have to potty it's either hold it and be uncomfortable, or go and miss some of the movie. We would rather rent and stay at home and watch it at our own pace. Though we may be a few weeks, months or sometimes years behind on seeing movies, but we don't care.

I pretty much quit going to the theaters. We used to have one in our home town; since it's closed it would be quite a travel to get to the nearest theater. While it's great to see that movie on a giant screen, it has become so expensive just to get in...not to mention the popcorn, drinks, and all lol. Then too at the theaters, I always seemed to be sitting right next to somebody who was chattering away during the whole thing...or worse, they had seen the movie and give a running narrative on it. Anymore I just wait until they're released and then rent them. I do think though, that it's a nice 'date' for couples, and that in itself still makes it a special activity.

ya...every week i go out to therter with ma family and occationally with ma friends....its really a spl feeling going out to theater to watch movie with all of em!!

Yeah, but the number of people going to the movie theater has lessen. Why ? because of crisis of financial problems. Watching over the DVD is more practical for you should just rent/buy DVD movies. You can even fix your own snacks and watch at ease.
