I’m very interested in seeing ‘The Marvels’ because I think it’s an interesting premise that’s different from the other Marvel properties but I have no interest in seeing it in the theatres. The last several times I went to the theatre, it was dirty, people wouldn’t stop talking, and the $15 popcorn was terrible.
Did any of these jokers ever consider that the movie isn’t succeeding because theatres are terrible and not because the movie is bad? Add that to the justifiable Marvel burn-out that the article correctly mentions and it’s no wonder people aren’t seeing it in theatres.
That’s my household. We had stopped going to theaters probably two years before Covid even happened for all but the absolute biggest films we wanted to see. When we used to go to something literally every Friday for years. But the theaters kept getting worse and charging more and long ago crossed the line for “worth it”
Covid was just the last straw to really put some effort into making home better for movies.
Now? The only movie we have on our list that will get us out of the house for it is Dune part 2, and even that is iffy.
