How do you feel about reserved seating; assuming you can buy your tickets online? Some of the fancier theatres in my metro were starting that feature, pre-Covid.
This might be apples/oranges, but it's very common for Ticketmonster to charge more for aisle seats at concerts ("aisle" of course means the six or eight seats on opposite sides …

>>there’s a reason matiness cost less than nighttime showings
>>and why seniors and children are charged less than adults and
>>why IMAX and Dolby and 3D screenings cost more.
What -I- have never understood is why theatres don't do some kind of genre pricing. A movie where characters mainly walk around talking to each other shouldn't cost the same to see as some special effects blockbuster where stuff gets Blowns Up Real Good.
I hate reserved seating. It is a very big reason I had virtually stopped going to the movies pre-Covid. I do not want to have to plan my seating arrangement in a movie theater. 1. I get there early enough I can get a good seat without reserving, even for popular movies. 2. I do not want to walk in and discover that the seat I chose is sitting next to the obnoxious person texting on their phone the whole time. In the old days,I would just pick a different seat in a different row. Now, I am stuck with it. /end rant.
See, I like not having to get to the theater 30 minutes early, but I agree that the possibility of sitting next to a loud person is vaguely nightmarish. This is why I try to go to the emptiest screenings possible.
I think Blockbuster Spectacle vs. Awards Season pricing is a thing that might happen in the next few years here, at least on a trial basis, and outside of LA/NYC etc. (No need to discount ASTEROID CITY in New York; maybe a need to in, like, Tallahassee.)
