Those theatres are designed to cater to an older crowd not wanting teenage shenanigans in the theatre. The alcohol blocks that demographic out as well as the tickets being double the price. A couple drops around $50 for tix and then if food and drink is ordered it’s even more. For me the movie would have to be truly extraordinary for me to even consider that level of payout. Nothing in recent years comes to mind that would.
Ticket prices for those are only a buck or two more. And the seats are really comfortable. And all movies are better with beer.
