Let's be real. It is quite easy to find and stream ANYTHING you want to see. I've even streamed something that wasn't released yet... I rarely (once or twice a year max) go to the theater to see a movie. Between the cost, the cell phone idiots, the talkers, the babies crying, any other annoying thing that comes to mind, and the comfort of home, it is easy to imagine a time I will never leave my house to watch a movie.

However, every now and then there is a movie I must see in the theaters as soon as it is released. This year it will be on December 18. The Force Awakens must be seen in a movie theater./

How about you? What will get you into the theater out of the comfort of your home?

I very rarely go see first run movies in the theater unless it's part of a franchise I love like Star Wars or Lord Of The Rings/The Hobbit.
Or I'll go see older films re released in the theater that I'm a big fan of. (The advantage here is these usually show at theaters where the obnoxious teens using their phones, or crying babies aren't present.)
And pretty much all of your complaints makes me not want to go to the theater either.

well, epic stuff ... Star Trek Into Darkness kind of movies.
I seldom go to the theatre either. The cost, annoying people, having to drive 34 KM. Why bother?
Often the chairs aren't comfortable for my back either.
The last time I went to the theatre was some 6-7 yrs ago, can't even remember what movie it was.

The one that definitely was worth going to the theatre for was Jurassic Park (1st one).
We watched loads of movies at home at the time, but always had to keep the volume down for the kids that were sleeping upstairs.
Theatre of course is LOUD, lol.
So when the T-rex started to roar, holy crap! First thought that went through my mind "Oh my god, the kids are gonna wake up!!"
I put my hands over my ears, I wasn't used to so much noise anymore, lol.
Dang, that was really epic! Loved it!

In my Youth:
Tickets were $.50 & popcorn was $.15.
I saw just about every new movie that came out each month.
I went to the Original Planet of the Apes 8 times.

I started dating the theater owners daughter and started getting in free. My buddies and I used to sneak in for the "r" rated films.

After I got married we went to the movies about once every 3 months or so. Movies were only a small portion of our date night activities.

Since being single again, without a group of buddies and usually no date I barely hit the theaters. There are a few movies that I have to see in 3d.

for the most part it's for the big screen special effects. so mostly just the scifi and comic book stuff

None rather stay home watch it on the TV in the lounge, snuggle under a blanket .
Spend my money on something else like petrol for road trips

I guess only children, teens, and young adults go out to the movies these days. I s'pose we've turned into a bunch of old farts.

I dunno about all that. When I went to Jurassic World all the theaters were packed in the cineplex.
Same for Godzilla.

Mingle2 is filled with single people looking for someone. I know I won't hit a theater alone. Perhaps your results are skewed by this environment?

Might see Everest and my youngest would love Hotel Transylvania 2 3D.

Star Wars Episode 7, I am counting down the days! Also Captain America Civil War (Team Stark right here!), Thor Ragnarok, The Avengers Infinity Wars 1 and 2 and of course Bad Boys 3!

I was considering going to see Straight Outta Compton, but I am just going to wait for that on DVD.

Doubt that ... teens usually DL or stream a good version online in their bedrooms upstairs and watch it with friends there.
I think the only time my kids went to theatre as teens, was when their dad wanted to watch a movie there.
