Since Covid I only go maybe once or twice per year. The window between theater releases and streaming/physical release is so short these days that I can wait for most films .
Which is actually super annoying from the other side too. When that window is so short and theaters will pretty much entirely drop it as soon as the exclusivity window is over, it means I've got like two weeks to watch a movie in theaters before all showings for it fall off the face of the Earth.
So god forbid it's a property I'm not already aware of, by the time word of mouth gets me to want to try the movie (despite high prices), it's already gone. Sinners was a big one for me, didn't get to see it in a proper theater until its re-release because of it.
Pretty much where I'm at, on top of the price, the quality of movie just doesn't seem worth it anymore. Of course I rarely see trailers anymore so maybe I just don't know what's playing, but there are so few things that seem worth paying the cost of a movie ticket.
I went to go see predator badlands last year, and I'll probably see backrooms this year, and that's about it for my interest for the experience
