I don't find the rest of the "experience" to be a net positive at all. Lines, no pausing for bathroom or snack breaks, bombardments of commercials, the other patrons with phones, talking, kicking seats, eating popcorn out of their hats, no booze, expensive, mystery seat goo...ugh, it's just so aweful. I'd much rather be at home.
Ditto. My home theater setup isnt even all that great but I'll take it over a theater pretty much any day.

I dont mind going to the theaters with the nice chairs, assigned seating, etc. but so much of it is an annoyance that the benefits rapidly get drowned out.

Anyways, I'm likely not their target demographic so losing my measly few bucks a year isnt going to change anything.
