Pretty big premium for posh seats. You (probably) could, and I would, buy the 4K disc for that. You don't get the cinema experience at home though, though the cynic in me saying thats the experience of getting to the cinema in the rain, queueing, crushing popcorn as you squeeze to your seat, people squeezing past you to their seat, listening to other people eat popcorn, play on their phones and of course being deafened for 2+ hours. Did I miss anything out ?

 

Well, there is obviously a demand for it, except Covid. 

The thing is, cinema seats used to be awful, so paying for a comfortable reclining seat was worthwhile as a treat, esp since you could have food delivered to your seat as well, but they are blurring the lines somewhat these days, which I can't blame them for, as any money is better than none. 

The few times I have been in a cinema since Covid, I may have been, at most, one of 10 people in the room. One sitting I was the only, and one was quite a lot more full. 

It's gotta be pretty tough running a movie theatre these days. Or any form of hospo, though I was at a nice restaurant on Saturday evening and by the time I left, they were almost full, so things are turning around a bit.
