Americans have been going to movie theaters for more than 100 years. But these days, a lot of people prefer at-home viewing. According to a recent survey, two out of three movie watchers say they’d rather wait to stream new films at home than see them in a theater.
Many people point out that at home they don’t have to worry about being late for a show or having rude people talk or kick their seat. Streaming a movie can also cost far less than watching one in a theater.
Still, many people think the best way to see movies is on a big screen. They say there’s nothing like cheering, laughing, or being scared along with the rest of the audience. Others point out that, in many cases, a theater is the only place to see the latest films.
