Will you miss the big theaters?

Only insofar as I still have two gift certificates to Rave Cinemas that I haven't used yet.

I have long since stopped going out to movie theaters. And working at a mall theatre complex in the late 80s early 90s.

Working at a movie theater sucks, If you are lucky you wont get assaulted for asking for ID. And you get butt fucked and anally raped by patrons if you are scheduled to make their popcorn, hot dogs and feed them candy before the get in line and you take their ticket.

Even today, nobody who goes to a movie theatre picks up their trash. They dump the shit on the floor. And after every, viewing the staff has to do the job of dental floss and garbage collector. 

Lets not mention the assholes who chew food 2 inches away from behind you. Lets not mention assholes kick the back of your chair.

But when you are a mutliplex movie theatre worker, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE, DURRING A BLOCKBUSTER movie after the fact, that both the bathrooms for both genders don't look like every war zone in human history.

To the OP I will miss big theaters I love the living room style theaters the best so I can order a beer to drink during the watching.

To Brian37, I didn't realize that sodomy was an option for theater patrons. I guess I'll bring lube with me once they open back up. Beer, movie, AND raping the staff?! BONUS!

You need to go to the movies in Thailand.

I seem to have missed out on the sodomy thing at theater too...thankfully.  Not saying there's anything wrong with it if that's what you're into.

***I don't miss the experience of going to movie theaters.  Since I have some hearing loss, I prefer to watch TV and movies with closed captioning.  In the early stages of my hearing loss, I missed a lot of dialog that was drowned out by the soundtrack or other noises and often missed key points.  I would find things out that I missed when I would later rewatch a movie at home with CC.

The only thing I miss is the taste of movie theater popcorn.  I make pretty good popcorn at home for a fraction of the price but it's just not the same.

I loved the big screens, but nothing else about the multiplex theaters. (Well, since they added bars...)

I've heard that most of the big chains are in dire straights. What will replace them, if anything?

75 inch OLED TV and blackout curtains.

75" screen not big enough?

My living room doesn't have wait staff or the latest releases.

I'm not fanatical about being first to see a movie. I'll see it cheaper and more comfortably in 3-4 months.
