Anybody know how movie theaters stay open?

[Saint_Ann]

Does the "film industry" pay them to stay open? They can't be making money. It's not friggin' tax dollars is it?

Whew.
How is it you can manage to get out of bed without falling flat on your stupid face? I imagine that you sleep in an adult sized crib and someone lets you out.

The last movie I saw in a theater might have been Avatar 1. Probably dropped 60 bucks.

 

[Bn2f]

Nope. I’m enjoying myself.
Tell me that you can’t help yourself because you’re saddled with the genetic deficiencies from parents who abandoned you and I will leave you alone.

^^^^^
Trust me - I really sanitized this up before sending.

 

[Bn2f]

Geez. 60 bucks!
The first Avatar was released in 09. Theaters would still give free refills on popcorn and drinks back then. Even paying for the ticket, 60 bucks is still a lotta malt balls, gummie bears, and m&m’s for a lonely swf unable to find a date to stuff her pie hole with.

Wow. That's a whole bunch of something there.

I honestly can't recall the last time I went to the movies. Some people go for the experience. Maybe on a date. The back row seems to be popular. Food was pricey and probably hasn't gone anywhere but up since then. I like the big screen, and can't ever remember having a bad experience, but it's a lot more convenient to watch Netflix, YouTube, whatever, from the comfort of my home. Saves gas too.

Plus they expect you to wear clothes.

Y’all are all missing the point.
1st class idiot here proclaims she doesn’t know how theaters stay in business and then admits to dropping 60 bucks for the right to eat herself a dinner of candy during a movie.

Saint_Inanity says something stupid and implies the government is spending money on it. Is that Qanon’s latest conspiracy lunacy?

Box office revenue for movies in the US in 2024 was $8.75 billion. Through the sale of food, drinks etc, theaters’ total revenue rose to $15.8 billion.

It is obviously a sizable industry. No weird conspiracy bullshit necessary.

I'm just making conversation. You know. Discussion forum and all.

 

[Bn2f]

Awwwwwww.
Poor baby. Now you want to be left alone. You’re just here to stoke conversation and make friends. This isn’t you admitting that you’re incapable of defending yourself but it is you crying and waving a white flag. Imma leave you alone now. You’re boring as fuck anyway.

You're really stretching the spirit of the Politics Board, mAnn.

Are ya jealous, rorythesnitch?

Damn. I thought this was about largely empty movie theaters.

I guess I could Google it. What's the fun in that? Plus I'd get a bunch of movie ads.

 

[Chernosoth]

The demographics shifted. Teens watched teen shows while adults vegged in cinemas. And then the adults netflixed while the teens went to cinemas. Maybe the demographics are shifting again. I haven't seen a movie ad in some years. I suppose cinemas still exist somewhere.
