    From what I’ve read online it seems like people in the US generally never go to the cinema anymore, a big part of that being that the cinemas there fucking suck. Old low quality and broken everything, loud obnoxious people, overpriced snacks that aren’t good etc. (I guess that’s just the US in a nutshell though).
    Overpriced snacks at cinemas are surely a mostly global thing but the rest of the things aren’t.
    I’ve been to cinemas in 4 countries in Europe and they were all well kept and updated, no one said anything louder than a whisper (other than reactions like laughs and screams which are fine) and no one used their phones during the movies.
    I got to the cinema about 4 times a year here in Sweden and have done so since I was a kid, never once had a bad experience.

      Wow, my SO and I go to the cinema between 4-8 times a year, but there’s always someone on their phone. The cinema itself is always excellent though.
