Depends on your town. I live in a small tourist town with one cinema and they only play the biggest hits, focusing on the lowest common denominator. I mean, I’m not even sure they screened Sinners, but they definitely played The Minecraft Movie in 4 (out of 14) theaters for months. If I want to go to a different cinema, I have to drive 45 minutes to get to the next town (where the selection still sucks, but at least they’ve got more screens) or 75 min to get to the closest independent theater.
I’m not a big movie theater guy, but I do enjoy heading to the local Alamo Drafthouse occasionally because they have terror Tuesday and weird Wednesday. Then near Halloween it’s like a full day of horror.
Exactly, support your independent theatre’s, they are usually run by people who care about cinema and they have more shows for older classics and modern indies and foreign movies
The best stuff at a cinema is rarely plastered all over the front, that’s just advertising for people who don’t really care about movies.
Also if your area is like mine, look for the smaller cinemas that screen the new oddities and forgotten classics

Get down to 6 Bags Cinema in Victorville. The aircon isn’t great but shows nothing but popcorn classics.
