My theater was practically empty. Except for a handful of families with kids, I think practically everyone in the long, long line at the concession stand was there to see one of the fifteen or so screenings of Fifty Shades. There was exactly ONE showing of my movie, and most of the others that were playing.

They still do make a few good movies. I usually watch them at home on Netflix or Amazon Prime, but there's still something cool about sitting in a dark theater with a really good story, well-acted.
