Went to watch The Mandalorian and Grogu at GV yesterday afternoon, whole cinema only 8 patrons. Really no one watch movie at the cinema anymore?

Because star wars are for geeks.

maybe need to screen the world cup in cinemas

This one I don’t mind at all. They should consider.
Then probably got fights also. Lol

The content itself has really gone downhill. Probably will become a relic in my lifetime. Planning to build my own proper home cinema in my own home.

Most locals are elderly. They don't go to cinema anymore. During our younger days say, 45-50 years ago, cinemas were places we went on dates, often to do the sinful thing when the lights were off.

How old are you sia? So kua zhang.

nothing special about star wars in 2026, lots of other good sci fi around

it was special in the 80s maybe

 

[perperdino]

imax still many ppl watching

1 day, cinema industry will exit sg entirely.

Here psf rent alrdy $5 psf minimum. Cinema easily 5000sqft. Jb mayb 50cents rm psf cos their land is big.

Not only cinema, golf, bowling, billard oso may exit 1 day due to space needs.

Give up bah.

A country with no cinema? Bky lah. Mlmlwm
If bowling and pool also don’t have then really a sad country.

Way too expensive nowadays, the Cinema tickets expensive, the popcorn and drinks expensive.

Then after paying so much, this new Star Wars movie disappointing, a lot of talk and very little action. Not worth the money spent.

netflix, disney+ pushed this... summor nowadays ppl are so fast paced they find it very hard to sit thru a 2hrs movie... i heard of ppl watch in 1.5x or even 2x speed... i wonder y sia...

 

[terada86]

I watch at least 2 movies a mth.
I am supporting .

Nothing beats watching in theater.
The saying 12 15 bucks a tick is expensive are crap. U wanna compare to JB I nothing to say..everything is cheaper there

2hrs Aircon with entertainment is worthy
Now bbt also 5dollar

Everyone earning 5k but wanna compare to spending like 2k times

I need you to emphasize and clarify the "everyone is earning 5k part"

as far as i am concern, my dad is still earning 2.2k and my mum is earning 1.8k , sorry they is BTC , primary school drop out. so please dont mix them with some PMET.

and many others i know cannot even hit 4k salary.
