I live 12 miles from a small 5 screen theater it has 2 auditoriums that seats about a 170 each and 3 smaller ones that seat around a 100 or so each. The two larger theaters have good surround sound and a nice size screen BUT no stadium seating, a ticket is $5.00 to get in and a large drink and popcorn is another $5.00. $10.00 is not bad for a movie now days. 40 miles away there is a 20 screen theater that has all the bells and whistles plus of course stadium seating.But a ticket cost $7.00 or $8.00 bucks and a drink and popcorn is close to $8.00 or $9.00 . So i have decided two stick with the smaller theater because heck it is 28 miles closer and half the price, now if you do go on a opening night when the place is full and someone tall sets in front of you then you are s**t out of luck, so what i do to get around this is wait a week after the movie i want to see comes out and then i go on a off time like sunday night when there is hardly anyone there, and if someone sets in front of me i can just move over a few seats and im fine , just wander if there are any small theater left where you guys live or have the big theater taken over every thing. If a movie comes out that i REALLY want to see then i will take the longer drive and pay out more money.
