Dinner and a movie for old people? What do young couples do? Frozen pizza and Netflix?
I get the dinner part. Never understood the "and a movie" part of a date. At least not with someone you've just started dating. What's more awkward than sitting silently beside an almost stranger for two hours?
Maybe it's more of a thing to do with the wife, when you get to the point you're tired of talking to each other?

I don't think it's ideal for a first or 2nd date but plenty of couples do a movie night.
Well maybe this will cause theaters to move away from the cookie cutter warehouses that they morphed into and make them a destination in and of themselves like they used to be.
Beautiful architecture, inviting canteen, warm colors. Black and dark just takes away from the experience.
Then again maybe they're moving that way, I can't remember the last movie I saw in theaters.
After watching the last Star Wars movie in the new Landmark Cinema in the NW that has leather reclining seats, I'll never pay for another regular theater ticket. The movie may have been total garbage, but at least I was comfortable

We have some a pretty nice theater here called Cinebistro. Nice, large reclining seats, set up in pairs with a pretty big gap between each pair. They serve good craft beer/wine/drinks and a pretty solid menu to your seats while previews are playing. 21 and over after 6, and it is such a better experience, that we stopped going anywhere else. I just hope they survive Covid!
I think at minimum, the huge 16 screen multiplexes will get scaled down. Smaller, one or two screen venues in strategic locations, like, say, the Beltline, Kensington, Bridgeland etc, might be a good way to go. The Plaza and The Globe have managed to make it work.
Which one is the one that smells like piss in Kensington? Went there once years ago to watch the movie "The Rocket". That was enough of that place for me.

The Plaza is the only one in Kensington, so maybe there? Never smelled like piss when I went, but that was over a decade ago.

Do you have iPic theaters up there? They’re boutique theaters that aim to be social destinations. Trendy decor, handcrafted cocktails, pillows and blankets, etc

Here’s your answer. Hopefully they find a solution.
This is great news!
Been waiting for movie studios to get on this for some time.
There's so many moves that I'm excited about when I see previews but never end up seeing because I forget about them by the time they're available for home viewing as the hype and ads have dissapeared.
I would definitely rent at home while I'm still excited about the product. Theatres are a rare inconvenience for me.
