This is us ... Whatever it is it will be out on demand next month anyway and will cost us $4.99 instead of $20+ ... PLUS I don't have to try to pretend that I like being around people ...
I'm in that 10-15 minute early crowd. I need just enough time to grab a rootbeer & a bag of popcorn. But I also have theater rules I follow, like I watch NOTHING in its opening week, I do not stand in line for ticket purchases or to get into a theater(if it's that tough of a seat to get I will bail & try another time),I avoid Friday & weekend shows and I watch almost exclusively matinees, because I'm uncomfortable with crowds and I don't want noisy people to spoil my experience. The balcony seats at Warren are brilliant, no more movies than I go see in theaters the higher price tag is often worth it to me so I only sit with the person I brought & not a stranger beside me. It's easy for me to be so choosy though because I bet I average less than 3 trips to the theater each year.

We usually go 20-30 minutes early. there hasn't been a lot of good movies until now. We saw Lincoln last Friday, next will be Skyfall. Lincoln was crowded as heck. We always go to the Warren.
20-30 minutes early. I like sitting in the middle of the row with the railing on it for a footrest.
I'm showing this thread to my wife - she thinks I'm mentally ill because I will no longer take her to a movie due to my intense hatred of people kicking the back of my seat; talking all through the movie; texting on brightly lit screens all during the movie; those who slather themselves in foul-smelling cologne and perfume as opposed to just bathing once a day (or week); listening to the crying kids; and paying near to $30 for the both of us for admission, snacks, and drinks. Now I can prove there are other mentally ill people besides myself!
6:45 pm
5-10 minutes before hand, my time is too precious to give more than that. I dont give a crap about the whole pomp and circumstance and the aura of the movie experience to want to pay that much money to attend one. I wrather put that money towards dinner anyway.
Im not going to lie though I have been know on occasion to be the person who brings in the can of soda and a cheap mcdouble (or something similar) into the theatre. The looks of envy I recieve from those who bought that expensive popcorn...

now thats funny
I love going to the movies, we usually get there 20 min before. I can't remember the last time a stranger tried to sit beside me though. I think JB scares them off before they get the opportunity.
