The best ones In my area are Santikos. It’s a local chain here in Texas. I also like Drafthouse, but some of their theaters aren’t very well maintained and stink of beer and food. |

In addition, the major studios would be devaluing their product by allowing same day VOD. It’s a very complex issue. |

I its simple. Charge 10 bucks over what it costs a couple people to go to the theater. Hell make it 20 or 30

So jealous of all the choices the rest of you have. We have two theaters in our city. One for first runs and the other for the cheap rerun. We have no Imax, no huge screens, no reclining seats, and no leg room. Its infuriating.
OH, and not to mention, our theaters cost more than the KC theaters 70 miles away. |

The film production companies don’t want to ruin their business model and put the exhibitors out of business. It’s relationship that spans decades. I’m sure it’s a very complex issue.

guess theatres will survive anyway, but maybe only in moderately big towns, where there are enough people to spend their money on the show. most will inevitably stick to netflix and the like

I guess that maybe I take all these amenities for granted. Thanks for the reminder. |

yeah l was bitching in one of these threads about the closest theatre to me not having the recliner seats. I’ve got another 3 state of the art theatres within 15-25 minutes of my house. I was assuming it was that way in most non-rural Areas.

That said, I know if Topeka upgraded their theater whey would also upgrade the pricing. Its already more expensive than a KC theater. I'd hate to see what they would charge for Imax here. Would probably rival California prices. |

In a lot of films they honestly don't think they've put political themes/messaging in their work but to anyone not on either coast it's heavy handed. And I think brand name has a big influence on if someone is willing to plop down $50 for a family of 4 to go watch a flick out. I can only think of two (Marvel and early Pixar) studios that continually put out a solid product and you EXPECT the next one you watch to be as good or better. Once you've established this type of positive relationship with the ticket-buyer even your 3 star movies bring in 4 star profits... |

We do have 3D films here but the theater itself is an early 90's relic... |
