Movie theatres should host longer movies, like 4 to 6 hours. Create a whole new experience.

I went to the movies last night to see Code Red or whatever it was called, a Christmas movie about saving Santa.

As I was sitting in a nearly empty movie theatre, I was thinking they should create longer movies. Two hours for $60 is a lot, but $60 for 6 hours is better. A place to hang out for longer. Have intermissions for snacks and bathroom breaks and stretches.

As I am writing this, maybe babysitting nights or camp nights....send your kids to the movies for a night.

Anyways, change the time frame to offer a full night away from home experience.

Movie tickets are 30$ these days?!?

we paid for popcorn, soda, and three tickets.

we're going to need more comfortable seats. no one wants 4-6 hours of movie ass.

that is true, no one was sitting next to me, so i could raise the armrest and put my feet up

Longer movies with a licensed bar, intermissions and a social reception afterward. Who better to talk about the movie than your fellow viewers?

That was whole the point of going out to a movie sixty years ago. To talk about it.

One of my favorite experiences was Tuesday Trilogy for Lord of the Rings. We had a brief break between films and over an hour before the third film for dinner.

Downside... seats get uncomfortable over time, though this was before all the recliner seats they make now.

Also would only do this again if they had food service and brought it to you. Wine availability is nice too but not required.

I love food and movies, together even better. Lol they should start parking food trucks at theatres. #mybrainisonaroll

Theatres make their money from the concession stands, not the movie tickets

Not the one I went to. It was a sorry little concession stand. It had popcorn and soda, and the popcorn was premade. LOL
