Usually right around the middle. I had a friend who'd want us sitting in the very front row and I'd always exit the theater with a stiff neck.

Farthest back row, dead center. The screen still feels huge, I don't have to move my neck, and most importantly I have no one behind me.
I haven't seen a movie in a theater since... forever. Probably 20 years.
I do watch a lot of plays though. Would throw money for that any time.
Then where do you sit?
At the plays? There are ticket numbers here, you don't just get to pick where you sit, you sit where the ticket says you should sit. You can't always pick and choose, depends if the play is sold out or not, but if I get to pick, middle, 5th, 6th row, not too far, not too close.
I often go to plays to. For me, the best seat is on the stage with the other actors. Bwahahaha. 😝
Even if I'm not accepted for a role being a stage hand is still a thrill.
Nah, I just like enjoying them. I did act for a short while, while I was in uni, amateur theater, but that was just for fun, I never saw myself as an actor.
About 4-5 rows back, next to an aisle if it isn't too off-center. If the row is deserted I will sit in the middle.
Wherever there's an empty row.
Anything on the left next to the aisle.
We like to sit on the end of the middle row so my wife doesn't have to sit next to anyone else (her preference), and we can easily get up if needed without bothering anyone else. That said, it's why we prefer cinemas with fewer seating so our viewing angle isn't bad; unlike large theaters where end seats are too far to the side. Thankfully the IMAX in our city has the last 2 rows shorter than the rest, so seating at the end puts you close to the center; so we don't need to sit at the very side of a huge theater.
My agoraphobia says "not between people". So first or last seat in a row. Distance to the screen is irrelevant.
Far away where I don't have to pay to have my experience ruined by screaming teenagers
Middle back third
You sit in the absolute middle (middle of the middle row) of course. Why would you sit anywhere else?
I invented a superhero called Molten Man who jizzes molten rock from his molten cock. I live in perpetual fear of Molten Man hiding above and/or behind me and getting hit by that spicy butter. Top, center, farthest back, in plain view of all exits.
The screen size doesn't change depending on how far or close you sit to it though.
