I used to visit the movie theater (before coronavirus) but now, I seem to lose interest as apparently people have lost etiquette or public courtesy on communal spaces (from using their phone with max brightness, speaking loudly whilst the movie is playing), is it just me feeling this way? I'm like "it'll eventually be re-released on disc or shown on a streaming site soon" (I wouldn't be surprised if coronavirus accelerated the decline of cinemas).

We go to the cinema to celebrate specific occasions and pick from the films that are playing.

The last time I went to a movie premier just because it was a premier was Snakes on a Plane, which was admittedly very fun. When I was at the dollar store that afternoon trying to buy rubber snakes the clerk was scratching her head. "We usually have a whole bin of 'em," she confessed, "but there seems to have been a run on them these last coupl'a days." When I explained about the movie, she shrugged and said, "I guess that'll do it," and walked away.
