Won't take off. It'll be fine for an indie-film audience. Otherwise, it's too open to abuse.

Won't change a thing for me...I rarely go to the movie theaters anyways, $10 is too much for a crappy quality picture, and noisy other people in the theater.

QFT. There's some people that would never pay for any.

Exactly. Especially when I have a 50" HDTV and 7.1 surround sound in my living room where I sit in a nice leather recliner instead of the crappy theater seat with god knows what in it. And for me, its not $10 is $20+crap because my wife always has to get the popcorn so a trip to the movies ends up $25-30 and I can wait and buy the DVD for $15 usually.

Like all the annoying ass high school students who go and ruin the movie for everyone else. I really wish they would enforce the R rating for movies.

I grew up in the age of Cinemascope and big theaters. If people still knew how to behave in movie theaters and the movie theaters still had those huge screens I would not mind paying the $7.00-$10.00.

People chewing one piece of popcorn at a time with their mouth open. Happens every single time I go.

Theaters used to be louder too. I'm sure some of them got sued for damaging somebody's hearing so they had to turn them all down, but my home theater system sounds better.
