20 minutes of that shit (despite paying for the movie!), movie finally starts. Now this happens:
People talking during movies
People watching phone during movie
People eating candy (loudly) during movie

On top of this, what are the odds the movie will be good? I think ive been disappointed by almost every movie this year, so thank god i didnt watch them in a cinema.

All very valid things, but at least the parts that are people related can be reduced (I personally find that my friends and I are much worse about using phones when at a house). Going in the afternoon on a weekday (and not opening week) means fewer people in general. Also tends to mean older folks are more likely to be there based on my experience working at a cinema (albeit was over a decade ago so maybe boomers are also bad about phones these days). Could even luck-out and be mostly empty and help with the special extra loud candy packaging made for cinemas. Might save a few bucks of course, but doesn't help with the pre-roll stuff.

Yeah. I used to go to the cinema often as a kid but people were quiet so there was never any problems enjoying the movie.

And it was before mobile phones.
