Full of ...... empty seats

We went to the movies today. We were the only patrons in the theater. I so hope the movie chains can hang on through this virus nightmare.

Yes, it must be difficult. They can't even have 100 like we can over here!

Nice to have your own private viewing room though? No noisy gum chewers or selfie taking teenagers to ruin the ambience!

[bkb in the city]

That must have been different. What movie did you see

[Lou Ann]

@bkbinthecity we saw “Tenet”, actually a very good sci fi. @grammyn that’s true! @maggiemae they had other screens in the building, with children’s movies on them. Our theaters can have 50% capacity, everyone so spread out. I was just surprised that we were the only ones, of course it was the matinee, so early in the day.

Many years ago my sons and I went to the movies on Halloween and were the only ones there as well. We were watching a movie about soccer and whenever the team played I cheered like we were at a real game. The boys were mortified! No one's here! I kept telling them. I hope you enjoyed the movie- since it was just the two of you I hope you actually watched it instead of kissing and taking advantage of a dark room! hehehe

It is so sad. Our local cinema hasn't opened again yet, but a friend and I did go to one about 40 km away a couple of weeks ago. There were only 5 of us in the cinema

I can't remember the last time I went to the movies unfortunately - probably when Nancie was young. But I do feel so sorry for those theater owners - this is a nightmare for them I know.

[Diana]

This sure is a nightmare! Our movies opened last week, but I do not know of anyone interested in going. so sad

[Valerie Chesney]

Haven't been to see a movie in a long time..would feel strange to bethe only ones there.

[Peter]

Lets hope this situation does not last long for everyones sake Lou Ann, I'm still waiting to see the new Top Gun 2 and James Bond No Time To Die films, we love the large screen and sound experiance, we are still waiting for our cinema's to reopen in Halifax, unfortunately we are still getting 1,500 positive cases and 5 deaths per day in the UK:)

[Beryl Lloyd]

It must have been strange and rather eerie being the only ones there !! but SAFE !!!!!!!!!!!

[Joan Robillard]

They have been struggling for years

[Lou Ann]

@olivetreeann ha ha! We were just glad to go to the movies, we are movie goers and have really missed that experience. @pcoulson Bond is set for November and Top Gun next March!

[Clare Gadsby]

like your processing!

[Kate]

Nice processing

[Lin]

I've been afraid to try it, but I think our theaters are open too

[Pat Knowles]

What a sad sight... e & my friend love the cinema but haven’t been get mostly because there have only bee old films so nothing that would make us turn out but very soon. It’s a nightmare time for all entertainment places. Dud you have to wear a mask at all times...what about the popcorn!

[Lou Ann]

@happypat no mask once we were seated. Enjoyed popcorn and a soft drink. 😊

[Ingrid]

Fun! Movie theaters still closed here. I'm just hoping to see the new Bond movie sometime - but do not have a lot of hope for November...

[summerfield]

i'm not a movie goer but when i do go see a movie, i want peace and quiet and no big heads that block my view. i would so enjoy being the only one in the theatre. i know, selfish, might as well watch a movie on dvd.
