Movie Theaters vs. Movies at Home
Movie Theaters vs. Movies At Home
Movie theaters can be a fun thing to do with friends and family, but staying home and watching a movie can be just as great. Americans last year spent an average of $9.87 billion on tickets alone. Americans who stayed home saved a lot of money, were more comfortable, and probably had just as good of a time.
First of all, the financial aspects of going out to the movies are the most appalling factor when you consider the facts. On average, a person will go the movies twelve times a year with a friend or family member totaling over eight hundred dollars or more. The person who stays home to see a movie for an easy eight dollars a month with Netflix also saves time and aggravation, as well as a considerable amount of gas money. Theatres also charge an excessive amount of money for snacks and sodas which could easily be prepared at home for a fraction of the price. Sodas and popcorn, on a national average, are three to five dollars for a soda, four to six dollars for popcorn and three to five dollars for candy. Financially, going to the movies compared to sitting at home and watching a movie isn't even fair. Netflix offers streaming movies whenever you want, for eight dollars a month. DVD's and Blurays are also offered to be mailed within one business day. Netflix boasts over 100,000 titles most available instantly on your television, computer, or gaming console as long as you want, and as many times as you want. I feel that going out to have a good time is essential in life, but money saved is money earned.
Secondly, comfort is defined as a feeling of relaxation, which I cannot see being a big part of going to a theatre. Americans who choose to stay home were definitely more comfortable lying on the sofa in their underwear, since you can’t do that at the theater. You can enjoy a movie in the comfort of your own home without having to worry about the gross surroundings and bothersome people. The theater seats are uncomfortable
