Also promote them and make them accessible as opposed to just shadow dropping them in select theaters

I think both sides are correct in this, if you care about movies then you should see them in theater, and if you care about movies and are making them you should make them worth watching.
We’re dealing with art, there’s a relationship occurring between the recipients and the creators and both have to be participating for it to work in a market environment.
All that being said, it is way too expensive to see a movie today and the experience itself is constantly degrading. That drives me away from the theater more than movie quality by a significant margin. And that’s on the theaters themselves.

They need to drop prices as time passes.
First week, full price. The people who really want to see the movie, will pay. It’s like early tech adopters.
Following weeks, the price starts to drop. Let the theaters keep most of the ticket profit at this point.
Cheaper tickets, more money to spend on candy and popcorn.
I’ll spend full price to see Hail Mary the first weekend.
But, I’m not paying 20 bucks to see April Fool’s day.
But I may pay 10. And I will probably get popcorn.
One of the theaters by me has 1/2 price Wed afternoon movies. The place gets packed.

I want to go back to when movies weren’t so damn heavy. Everything has to be about something horrific or catastrophic or so completely depressing. Why can’t we have more movies like My Cousin Vinny or League of Their Own or The Princess Bride? A good story with a clear beginning, middle, and end. It doesn’t have to have insane CGI or cost a billion dollars to make. I don’t know why the studios stopped focusing on telling good stories, but I think that’s one of the biggest problems with the industry right now.

Maybe someone should also ask why average people have less and less disposable income these days?

I don’t mind paying amc prices.my local mall charges $6.75 for early shows. I always work on both Fridays which can make it hard to see movies opening day.
