I really do think this is a symptom of the industry that's out of theaters' control. I mean, how many "Funniest Movie of the Year!" are there? "Best Movie of the year!" ? The hype cycle kills reactions, tires people out, and is just ridiculous. It's all empty speak once you've heard it for the 5th time.

Was my biggest gripe for the longest, I now only go Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday when I get off of work about 330 or 4. (Grand Cinema FTW!)
I stay away from the weekend crowd at all cost. I really enjoyed when I was working in Vegas and was off on a Monday.

To an extent. I still enjoy seeing some movies on the big screen.

THIS is my biggest gripe. The last few times I've been to a movie I've had to deal with the "just here to hang out" crowd. They don't shut up. I went to complain during Gone Girl and was told "they'll quit soon, it (the movie) should pick up soon." WTF?!
Which brings me to:

4. Prices are ridiculous
Honestly, if I can go see a good movie for $20 for 2 people, I don't mind paying. We can usually get out for under $40 with drinks/kern and tickets. That being said, what I am willing to pay is DRASTICALLY reduced when I'm dealing with assholes in the fricking theater. When you add managers that don't care you may as well count me out.
