bullshit. this was the only theater chain i could go to anymore because they're the only ones that kick anyone out who uses a smartphone or makes any noise during the film. serving food and booze was just a bonus.
i just have zero interest in paying all that money to see a film in a theater just to have it ruined by a bunch of assholes who can't out their phone away and stfu
The same dude that was CEO of Alamo is now new head of the division that Sony is creating for this so we can only be hopeful…
That’s kinda comforting
Remaining hopeful, but the headline made me throw up in my mouth a little. Let's see how it goes. ☹️
Their no talking policy is the most distinct part of their theater experience when compared to traditional theaters, so I am cautiously optimistic to read this
I imagine not much will change at first, but I'm dreading the potential enshittification that could creep in, even if it's months or years down the line.
Unfortunately it seems the Alamo experience was not making enough money, so corporate will have to find some way to turn profits, and I doubt those plans will all be in line with the Alamo vibe. See HBO/Max/Discovery.
