In any case, the main thing you should consider is your personal needs.
Do you want to stretch your legs?
Pick a seat at the side.
Do you love clear, loud sound?
Then sit in the middle!
Remember to tell me in the comments below which seats you pick when visiting a movie
theater and why!
- If something has gone wrong with the movie you're watching, like, the image is blurred
or not centered anymore, there won't be anyone in the projection booth to help you!
Unlike before, these days, specialists program digital movie projectors and leave.
That's why if there are some problems, you'll have to go to the lobby to find a staff member
who can help you.
- But even so, you're still being watched!
In every movie theater, there are cameras directed at seats.
It's an important security measure that helps to prevent theft and all kinds of improper
behavior.
- By the way, some days are better for visiting a movie theater than others.
Mondays and Wednesdays are believed to have the lowest traffic, and if you want to enjoy
the movie without getting lost in the crowds, go for these days.
Again, the fewer people, the bigger choice of seats.
During holidays, on the other hand, lots of movie theaters are swarming with people.
- If you want to save a couple of bucks, go to the movies in the afternoon.
It's very likely to be cheaper than visiting a movie theater in the evening, and you won't
have to compete for the best seats with other moviegoers.
- Air Conditioning was first installed in a movie theater already in the middle of the
1920s!
The first place to have it was Rivoli Theater on Times Square, New York City.
At the same time, cup holders appeared decades later: AMC Theaters began using them only
in 1981.
Before that, people had to hold their soda during the whole show!
- When more and more digital movies started to appear, many small theaters had to go out
of business.
Such movies needed special projectors which cost a fortune, and smaller business couldn't
afford them.
- Few people go to the movies without buying something to munch on or to drink during the
show.
And still, you won't probably argue that all
that popcorn and soda might be overpriced.
Like several times more expensive than in other places.
The answer is simple: cinemas don't make much money from ticket sales because studios get
the lion's share of box office revenue.
For extremely popular movies, this share can be more than 70%!
Every time you pay a fortune for popcorn, remember that you help the theater to keep
working.
- If you live in a big city, there's a chance that you might once notice a famous actor
sneaking into their own movie!
Celebrities work hard - no wonder they want to see the audience's reaction to all their
effort.
And if you're lucky, your favorite actor or actress won't even be disguised!
Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever seen one in a theater!
- Three-D glasses make some people physically ill!
It's one of the reasons why this format is losing its initial popularity.
When you're watching something in 3-D, your eyes are informing your brain that you're
moving.
But the inner ear, responsible for sensing motion, argues that you're still firmly planted
in your seat.
These two mixed messages confuse your brain, and you start feeling nauseous.
Hey be sure to hold on to your popcorn bag when you’re done eating from it.
It might um come in handy later on.
