BUILD THEATRES WITH LARGE SCREENS AGAIN

But iMax theatres are popping up everywhere and the 4DX is also starting to spread out.

Some theatres (Cambridge Vue in the Grafton screen 8 for example) have lay-flat seats similar to first class airline seats.

I can't say I notice glowing phone screens unless I look for them, same with people eating generally not intrusive. People chatting loudly during the actual film and kids kicking your seats is annoying though (although with 4DX people pay to get kicked in the back).

My local Cineworld is always busy and there are queues for the expensive popcorn, nachos, dirty dogs and sugary drinks, so they are not going to lower any prices. They do allow people to bring in their own food and drink though, so picnics hampers it is!

First world problems etc.
