    I’m not sure I agree, to get that same experience at home I’d need a 6-figure purpose-built room with a bluray copy of each movie so $15 once a month isn’t too bad.

    Most people are happy enough streaming low bitrates on their 55" Walmart TV with a $100 soundbar so it’s definitely not an experience for everyone but I’d consider $10/hour is pretty good rate. I value home entertainment closer to $1/hour

      Its not just the price of the theater. The cost of living and adulthood responsibilities also make it hard to get to the movies in the first place. I specifically need to get a baby sitter unless my wife or I are staying home too. Its just not in the cards anymore.
