Yes but the big studios do not make many interesting films. The independents do even with lower budgets make films that can be interesting.

Exactly why I don't go much anymore. Prices in London are horrific and you have to factor in the travel, etc. Big screen films are once or twice a year at the moment so that will be Avatar and probably Toy Story 3. Rest will have to be DVD. :(

The last time we went to the cinema, we took the kids to see Toy Story 3D.

4 tickets (with crappy glasses), 4 drinks & popcorn = over £50.

We won't be doing that very often.

I'm surprised Babylon 5 didn't make an appearance.

Hollywood’s 3D honeymoon over as audiences stay away

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film ... -away.html

Quote:
When James Cameron’s “Avatar” was released in 2009 around 80 per cent of cinemagoers chose to see it using the new technology, helping to make the science-fiction epic the biggest grossing movie of all time.
But the proportion that have chosen to experience the latest round of summer blockbusters in three dimensions has fallen dramatically.
Only 38 per cent of the US box office take for “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” came from 3D tickets, despite the movie being highly popular with audiences and grossing $1 billion (£630 million.)
