Movie fans share their theater memories


Movie fans are going through the summer movie retreat. The coronavirus pandemic forced theaters to close and studios to delay this year’s blockbuster harvest. For a time, some held out hope that the summer movie season will be delayed but not canceled, but recent increases in COVID-19 cases have dashed those hopes. Theaters will be closed in most areas, and movies are suffering additional delays. Networks and studios continue to hatch plans to draw audiences to theaters when they reopen, including sending popular movies to the big screen. Despite all this, at least half of theatergoers say they will avoid going to a movie even once the theaters are open again.

Movie fans have had to find their entertainment elsewhere, thank goodness for streaming services, but for most viewers, sitting at home and watching a movie on TV is not the same as going to the movies.

Film critics Daniel Howat took advantage of that yearning for theater when he asked movie fans to share their favorite theater experiences. Fans were more than happy to share, putting enough fond movie memories on Twitter to make the conversation a trend on the social media platform. Keep reading to read some of those memories.
