I'm someone who had a mall theater close to me close this year that was the affordable option of ~6 dollars vs 14 for a multiplex, die one week before Dune Part Two gave everybody a shot in the arm after two months of no kids films specifically. Yeah, this stings.

Why not use the season ticket holder approach? I have left field seats for the Mets. I pay around $1000 plus tax. Of course there are other options.

Movie theaters can do the same. Offer families some sort of plan that works with them.

I know concessions is a money maker for theaters but yea you’re gonna have to cut that down for a family membership. Who is trying to pay that much money for junk food?

If mom and dad know they can drop off the kids and give them 20 bucks for snacks and drink and they’ll be fine -don’t you think mom and dad will sign up?

Also the Mets like all pro teams use their stadium year around. I know all about these other events whether I care to go or not. I got first dibs on playoff tickets.

You get where I’m going right?

On birthdays throw the kids a treat? What are they doing with the data? Who’s their favorite stars or movies? Get active.

But if all there is sign up pay 25 dollars a month and see three films…that’s gonna please the cinephile and movie buff but Joe and Jane Moviegoer isn’t budging. No industry can survive solely off the die hards.
