The pink wave has yet to crest, the ‘Barbie’ movie has sold more than a billion dollars worth of tickets at the global box office, after just 17 days on general release. The milestone makes #GretaGerwig the first woman to reach the such heights as a solo director.
I’m the same. If I’m home, I’m gonna pause to…do whatever. So I actually prefer seeing movies I want to pay attention to in the theater.
Plus I just love the experience of a theater. I understand why someone who wasn’t into that would prefer streaming. But I’ve always loved it and I don’t expect that’s going to change. So I’mma hold onto this AMC A-list membership for now
For me it depends on what we define as “theater experience”:
I absolutely never care about the rest of the audience (unless they’d be actively annoying). The Part where it forces me to pay attention is the biggest draw. And the technical aspect (better/larger screens) only matters for certain movies ever since i got a decent sized oled tv. So i’d go see Oppenheimer if there were an IMAX cinema in my area (which sadly isnt the case) or i went to see Avatar 2 last christmas, because i think there the technical aspects matter more. There i went to see it on a large screen, whereas otherwise i often choose smaller independent cinemas, whenever i go. Next one is probably gonna be “Past Lives”.
A membership sounds nice, but i feel like i wouldn’t have enough movies i truly want to see to justify one. Also i think the one that’s available in my city that i know of would be 20€/month, but not truly unlimited but 8 tickets/month (but i guess that is still plenty to see everything).
