I can view the seats that are open before the movie so I know if there are seats without people near my chosen seat. This was really important post-Covid. Many times I was the only one in the theater. Sometimes I go with a friend but I enjoy going solo also. There are discount days/times and rewards programs too. In the theater I feel fully immersed in the movie with few distractions.
