Should theaters/movies bring back intermission?

For movies over 2 hours, yes, absolutely.

Movie theaters are becoming the modern day buggy whip. With the price of ticket and concessions people are just as content to wait a month or 2 and watch it at home where you can pause and take as long of a piss as you want.

There was a time when movies were affordable and you didn't mind rolling the dice on a film you didn't know a lot about. I think people are far more selective than they used to be.

While higher prices doesn’t eliminate the possibility, it greatly reduces the potential. Keeps the riff-raff out as they say.

I feel the same way about Disney World..LOL

Could use a little break with all these 2.5-3 hour epics. Just 5 minutes. People that don't care have phones to play with.

I honestly don't think they have the staffing for something like that.

I do think there should be a break .

Or like there be in-theater voting.

If enough people vote yes to have a stoppage. The movie stops for 5 minutes or whatever then resumes

The AMC has free refills on sodas and popcorn.

In fact, my wife and I preorder a popcorn which comes with a bag. We dump the popcorn in the bag and get an immediate refill. Then we each have our own popcorn. 2 for 1 makes the price more reasonable.

We share the large soda. Its huge. If we did need a refill, you just run to the machine. It takes 30sec.

If there happened to be an intermission, we would just get free refills tbh. Theatre would lose money.

Hateful Eight was probably the last film to have an intermission - I didn't mind it

They can't stop you from bringing an empty bottle into the theater.

As long as the theater bathrooms are big enough because everyone's gonna hold their piss for the break.

Seeing a movie in Europe in the 90s sucked b/c you couldn't bring food/drink into the theater... Every movie had Intermission no matter how long, to piss, drink, coffee/beer, eat some sweet...the lobby was packed like a sporting event with long bathroom lines.

Never minded sneaking out to catch a quick piss when the bathrooms are empty and you're back in a jiff.

So not a fan of Intermission... Disrupts the movie and everybody is trying to do the same thing at the same time...Concessions/Bathroom...Long lines...you still might miss some of the movie by the time its your turn.
