I went to the movie theater last week for Dune. It was the first time since summer and only the second time in two years. AMC theaters have not, I repeat, have not, done anything to improve their business since COVID. It's the same experience as before, which was mediocre at best. If I enjoyed a movie, it was because of the content and not where I saw it. Here are some tips I have for theaters to get me off my couch for movies again.
1) no lines. I already prepaid for my ticket. Why am I standing in line again so some care-free kid could scan my phone?
2) cut the previews down by 75%. We see all the previews on YouTube several times. I know what's coming out already! 25-30 minutes of previews is ridiculous. If i see a late show, I want to be home before midnight and that hardly happens because of all the damn previews
3) spotless auditoriums and bathrooms. Stop hiring high school students. I know you do, because I was a high school student who worked at a movie theater. Hire professional cleaning crews to run your theater as your ushers and box office and concessions. It just takes one visit where someone sees a dirty floor or messy bathroom to want to never come back. Especially with COVID, people will feel more comfortable that they're in a clean environment.
4) better seats. Some theaters have upgraded. They all need to upgrade. Get rid of your filthy, stained, old, uncomfortable seats. Enough said.
5) projectionists who are trained so that I never hear guys like PTA or QT say movie theater projectionists don't do their job properly.
6) rules based on respect & etiquette. If you put your feet on the seats, you're out. If you talk too loud or use your cell phone for more than 5 seconds to check it, get out. Alamo Drafthouse theaters ban cell phone use, don't they? No wonder people rave about those places.
7) choose your movies. Theaters should take feedback from their customers about which movies they want to see. Maybe some classic ones. Maybe more showtimes for a smaller flick that gets buried under the latest Fast installment. If you aren't lucky enough to have an arthouse theater near you, you can request to have it at your local theater. With video stores gone, people need to have freedom of choice in their movies again!
8) bring back the 6-month window. I'm old enough to remember that when you saw a movie in theaters opening weekend, it was a LONG TIME before you could get that movie on home video. That made me either excited to see it again, or excited because I didn't get a chance to see it the first time. Nowadays it's all a blur. Movies quickly go from theaters to on-demand to streaming and no one even cares. They just expect to be able to watch it at home fast and it's the movie industry's fault for normalizing it. By letting that extended length of time pass, movies can play longer in theaters (potentially make more money) or have a second life on video on demand (also potentially make more money).
If theaters actually were awesome fun & safe & clean places to go, then they'd be able to COMPETE with watching movies at home.
Movies should be ideally direct to streaming and DVD on the same day they appear in the theater. If theaters actually upped their game, then people would still flock there for a fun night out they couldn't have at home. Otherwise -- because theaters aren't doing a lot of the stuff you rightly said they should -- screw 'em, let me give money that goes to the studios and artists and composers and such... and the middleman chain theaters can go bankrupt for all I care.

In SoCal, IMAX = 18.49, 3 IMAX movies break even (Dune, Eternals, Spider, Venom, 10 rings, Matrix, Sherloc, ...)

And AMC changed the size of their large popcorn to 50% of what it was previously, and it costs over $10. It's a joke. 2 sodas cost $15. It's the furthest thing from a slick deal.
This company is beyond bankrupt. I'd short the stock with every penny I had if I could actually find it to short.
Concessions are optional, if you don't like it, don't buy em. Simple as that...
