Sorry Alamo, but this is bullshit. Protecting the moviegoing experience is to enforce *zero* phone usage, not making it the ONLY option.

My favorite moviegoing experience of 2023 was seeing Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron. a row ahead of us, about an hour and a half into the film, a little boy asked his dad, "What's happening?" and his dad said, with utter sincerity: "I don't know"

Between the box office performance of Obsession and Backrooms (as well as several other recent films), it feels like something about American moviegoing tastes and habits are shifting very quickly in a way for which most of the people with the money to finance movies are completely unprepared.

Yeah, because that's what i really look for evidence of in my moviegoing experiences: Efficiency.
You can't tell me the head of the studio that made MORBIUS and MADAME WEB doesn't know a hit idea when he sees it.

getting people back into theatres requires two things: a greater diversity of well-produced and marketed films, along with exhibitors working to build community around the idea of moviegoing
I am not sure how to get people back into theaters or if it's possible, but I do know that if the strongest remaining argument is "you SHOULD," or something about the holiness of the collective big-screen experience, the battle is lost. That has no traction with people who don't already believe it.
