I don't know if there's enough people out there like me, but I'd love a smaller theater with traditional seats and decent sound if it was at a reasonable price. After searching out the best and biggest screens and audio, I've slowly realized that stuff doesn't affect my enjoyment that much.

What does affect my enjoyment is the bill for bringing a small family making me limit the affair to once or twice a year. There are a handful of these discount theaters around and they seem to be popular, but for me require a much longer drive.

Seems like an intractable problem. Because if they followed my advice, maybe they'd lose the crowd of people who have expensive setups at home. I'm not so sure they get much revenue from that crowd anyway, however. Presumably they know their customers better than I do.
