I know a lot of people love Alamo Drafthouse, but my experiences with the one south of downtown Dallas were never great.

Your experience sounds much better than mine! The handful of times I went to the one in Dallas, the food wasn’t great and the entire building had an unpleasant smell to it.
Working in a restaurant for years, the smell reminded me of old sanitizer that had been used much longer than it was intended.

This is extremely upsetting for me. I haven’t seen a movie in a different theater in maybe 10 years.
Man I wish they had those in Canada, I’d go watch a movie much more often…
That’s unfortunate: it seems like a great experience. They’re blaming it on reduced customers since COViD. However, anecdotally, i and most people I know, may go to the theater less but are more willing to spend more for a better experience. I’ll only goto a few movies this year, but they’ll be in iMax.
I was excited when they finally announced a location in Boston, but I have to admit to never having gone there. Now that I neither live nor work downtown, it’s not especially convenient. At least as importantly, it’s a frustratingly crowded area that’s just annoying to deal with
While I’m a big proponent of transit and Boston does it pretty well for US cities, there’s no practical transit or park and ride from where I live - it would quickly turn into a day trip, rather than an evening entertainment
