Bringing a man out of retirement is cruel.

 

I'll take on your responsibilities for you Tele you may rest.

Well the trick (or the inevitable reality) is you go during off-peak hours. I did a 9am show. But if someone has the day off (or free enough to go watch a movie) I imagine it's not too difficult to find a showtime in the morning before the crush of evening crowds.

That wasn't an option for us lol.

90% of the time unless i'm seeing like a star wars or a marvel i buy the tickets just before the movie and i've never had a problem getting a decent seat. idk. whatever. sorry about your problems fellas.

Same. The only times I book in advance is when it's a BIG movie or even one that's sure to be very popular here (Ocean's 8 in particular will definitely be huge in this area).

I had a gift card to Chick-fil-A and went to buy some dinner.  After the swipe the cashier said, “You still owe 69 cents” and I let out a reactionary, “Nice,” as I took out my wallet.  The cashier looked at me, smiled and replied, “My pleasure.”

Basically everything I've seen since Black Panther has been a same day purchase, and I've gotten center seats no problem.

Every time a "69/Nice" back-and-forth happens, an aa gets its wings.

Eyes Wide Shut is playing on my Netflix but I only have it on for background noise.  I wish they did delivery sodas.

On a somewhat related note, I guess the new theater by me isn't opening tomorrow because they still don't have tickets on sale. This is like the fifth or sixth delay the theater has had

I am staring at that Sale like:

 

 

Do I want all those likes and ad-free browsing for the weekend thread? Which one is the best deal? Decisions.

Reserved seating has ruined the concept of "hey I wanna walk up and see a movie right now without having to pay online."  opening weekends of American Made and Murder on the Orient Express, show up 40 minutes before it starts and the only seats left are in the very front row.  hell I saw Detroit in its 4th weekend and got stuck in the front row despite arriving 30 minutes early.  luckily the theater I prefer going to doesn't have reserved seating so it doesn't affect me much.  please don't @ me telling you about all the times reserved seating has been good to you btw I don't give a shit.

Reserved seating kinda sucks. people will only see the movies they plan on seeing in advance. gone are the days of "hey, let's check out a movie....i have no idea what's playing, but let's go"

i agree it doesn't happen so much anymore but i'd blame netflix and the like for that. reserved seats are probably like 47th on the list of things i'd blame for that.

You're only mad about this because of MoviePass.

 

If MoviePass had enough leverage to guarantee reserved seating, you'd care far less.

[WrathOfHan]

It's not like you can't get same day tickets anymore; unless it's a movie opening to 30M+, you can easily get seats only a couple of hours in advance.

But those were also the days of only having one theater available. I do same day, spur of the moment watching whenever I can... only difference is I pull up my mobile Fandango app to see what’s playing and at what theater. And, of course, whether I can get a decent seat.
