I go to the cinema about 4 times a year with the kids in the UK, usually to see marvel films. I don’t recognise that experience.

The whole thing costs about £50 sure (maybe nearer £60 nowadays), and we combine it with bowling and a meal out. Overall it’s a £150 “day out”. It’s not comparable to watching a film at home.

A year of Netflix and a year of Disney+ in the UK would be £200. A family of Four to watch Dial of Destiny in my Local cinema was £80, for one showing, no snacks, no drinks. Is Disney cannibalising itself I wonder?

I don’t go to the cinema to skip a couple of months of waiting. I go for an event. What’s on isn’t that important.
