Movie theaters fucking suck, hope they all go out of business and kill off the shitty malls and strip malls they're in while they're at it. 
Chapel Hill has a great one built in 1927. They're cheap ($7 for adults). They sell beer. They host local events. They'll even do a birthday party with popcorn, soda, and pizza for $250. You can show what they're showing or bring in your own DVD.
There's also an "art house" theater supported by a non-profit that shows all the independent movies. They aren't as cheap, but they do sell beer or let you bring in coffee from the attached coffee shop.
My family tends to frequent the six screen AMC in town, because we can get gift cards from Discover. Their concessions are cheaper than most places, and the manager, Thor ... yes, THOR, is great. He's suggested when to buy tickets, and once gave me my money back when I had to leave a movie with a crying baby. It's only ever sold out for Spider-Man 2 and The Last Jedi, which is a mixed blessing. No one's ever in the theater, but then, I don't know how they are making money.
And lastly, there's the abomination, which charges $15-$20 a seat, but it's one of those fancy, reserved seat places that will bring beer, wine, and cocktails, and a full menu to your giant, cushy recliner. They also get the stuff like Let's Play Two and show old movies during the summer. They suck, but they also have their uses.
I love movie theaters.
