I saw Megalopolis in theatres

Wild Robot - Piracy

Hundreds of Beavers - Piracy

Chocolate - Tubi

Don’t remember the last sequel I watched but movies are too long to watch in one sitting

Asteroid City. Theatre. Weird but entertaining / good.

What makes money is recognition.

Sequels are one way to do that. Another is a big name actor. Another is a big name director. What was the last thing you watched that fulfilled none of those?

Mine is probably Oddity, and I watched it on Jellyfin. It's honestly tricky to find things like that that aren't £2 DVD bargain bin trash from the depths of Netflix.

~~Millions~~ Hundreds of beavers.

On a projector at home.

A silent film. From 2022.

Bizarre. Stupid. Funny. Silly. Stupid. Cute. Bizarre. And stupid.

★★★★

Edge of Tomorrow. It was fun. Drag didn't give any money to Tom Cruise, though.

The Substance was a wild ride

Sure, it's the customers who decide the market. That's how it works.

Went to the kinoplex to watch Megalopolis, I didn't think it was that bad, the acting was just more like a regular theater than movie acting.

Look Back in the theater

The Substance on Netflix

I stopped watching almost all franchise and remakes. Horror seems be the only genre worth watching. I had the highest hopes for the creator so much wasted potential.

Bullshit. The box office speaks for itself. Maybe YOU want to see new movies. Regular people want the newest superhero shit movie and remakes

Wild robot at home, My last theater movie? Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse.

The theaters used to pack everybody in for every show. And they just crank the prices up and up. I'm sure that they think home streaming and piracy is what killed them. But you can buy a TV the price of taking a family afford to the movies.

Let's Start a Cult, rented it on yt I think. It was decent! It honestly looked pretty good for how low the budget was, and it was pretty funny. Not the most thoroughly written or plotted movie, but still very enjoyable.

Finally got around to to watching Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3. I liked it a lot. Rented it on Amazon Video.

Before that, I watch 'The 5th Wave' which I think falls under the context of OPs question. Rented on Amazon Video. Garbage movie. Saw it because I saw a single clip of the movie that looked good. It was the only part of the movie that was good.

And before that one, I watched 'Smile'. Dumb, lazy, predictable writing. Rented on Amazon Video.

Before that, I watched 'The Edge of Sleep'. Very good series. Also Amazon Video.

Finally, 'The Menu', also Amazon Video. I liked it.

I saw all that for probably the cost of a single movie theater ticket. A matinee ticket right now, for my local theater (ordered online) is $17.60. I think the rent price of each of those movies was maybe $4 and 'Edge of Sleep' is free.

I hardly watch movies anymore since I find the format limited compared to TV shows.

Last TV show - Slow Horses season 4

Last original movie in a movie theater was probably the Pokemon Movie.

Last movie in a movie theater was Dune part one. (Which for one was a hell of a good remake tbh)

In theaters: Heretic, and before that The Substance

Recently at home:

Saturday Night

Man on the Moon

I saw the TV Glow

Edit: for line breaks

Civil War in the theater, at home, I just recently watched They Live, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Wizards, and X at home. I have a biweekly movie night group and we were the only ones in the theater for Beau is Afraid.

The Substance. I streamed it using the free trial to MUBI.

I used to go to the movies weekly as a matter of course and never missed opening weekends. I only saw Dune 2 in the theater this year, and between the IMAX ticket for just myself, a popcorn and a coke it was $60. Plus, I don’t like being in public anymore.

I think it was The Whale, in theaters with my sister

The last one I saw, by release date, was Late Night with the Devil, and I pirated it. I'm glad I pirated it, because I didn't know it had AI slop in it. If I did, I wouldn't have watched it. It's a shame, too, cause otherwise, it wasn't bad.
