"Distractions from other members of the audience: 19%"
This is #1 for me. The worse part about going to a cinema today is the other people that go. I don't know why you need to turn your phone on and browse tiktok for 15 minutes during the movie. I don't know why you feel the need to converse with your seatmates at full volume during the show. Why are you bringing a screaming baby to a movie with loud explosions? Can you please have your small uninterested children not running back and forth in front of the screen laughing while the movie is going on?
I feel old, but I'm old at home watching on streaming with the other 2/3rds of adults I guess.
If you have an Alamo Drafthouse near you I suggest checking it out. They take disruptive people very seriously and have a way to inform the staff without you having to leave your seat. It is not a discount place however the tickets and really decent food is expensive.
I watch most things at home but I needed to see Dune in the theater.
I exclusively see movies at my local Alamo Drafthouse for this reason as well. Though I saw Oppenheimer at an AMC since they have true IMAX and Alamo Drafthouse's "The Big Show" isn't quite the same.
Also I'm never ordering real food at a Drafthouse theater ever again. It's dark in the theater so eating real food is pretty much impossible (unless you don't mind making a mess!).
I immediately spilled cheese sauce on myself the last time I was there. ☺
