Before I had the AMC subscription movie pass, we wouldn’t bother about spending money going to a movie that wasn’t one of the big blockbuster movies. A movie that is all about a great concept or great plot, is just as enjoyable on a TV at home.

We went to movies to see action, special effects, etc. on the big screen. We also never went to a movie that we couldn’t reserve our seats in advance.

What you consider “quality” and what most people consider quality - ie what enough people are willing to pay money for to make it a $1 billion grossing movie is different.

When we had to spend money on individual movies, the movies that had the “quality” we were willing to go out and pay for are the ones that delivered something that we couldn’t easily replicate at home. Anything else we could just pay $5.00 to rent it on iTunes or wait for it to fall off the back of a truck onto my Plex Server.
