It’s literally how they pay for the seats you’re sitting in. The money you pay for the ticket goes to the studio, not the theatre.
A poor business model on their part does not constitute a moral obligation on mine. Places like this are more than welcome to figure out ways to stay in business without being unreasonably fucking exploitative.
Why the fuck do you people think there is an obligation? A) don’t go or b) don’t eat. If you go to a business, you play by their rules.
Buncha fucking children that want everything their way, or they bitch and complain on the internet. Just don’t go and stfu about it?
Wait'll you find out I also sometimes go in ten or fifteen minutes after the posted showtime so I don't have to watch the ads they got paid to show me before the movie starts.
What is your point?
Yeah I'm sorry but fuck cinemas. I used to love going to the movies in the theater. It was a great time and it didn't really cost all that much. Now if I want to see a movie in the theater I have to plan at least 2 or 3 weeks ahead to save up the money necessary to go. The ticket prices are too high the cost of the food is too high and they're getting dickish about it. And it's not fucking inflation either, they are blatantly overcharging for everything. Quite frankly they can all fucking close for all I care.
