What arguments would you use in response to those who say that technology has made watching movies at home more comfortable and enjoyable than going out?

Witty, and true! On the other hand, (1) domestic hardware is impressive these days, (2) screening starts when you want and you can pause the film, (2) no dealing with obnoxious people making noise, for instance by eating popcorn! Seriously, these are strong arguments that will need to be countered if movie theatres are to prosper. But well done for the good work keeping your theatre open till now.

So we're only allowed to ask softball questions here? Didn't know about that rule. BTW, personally I only ever (literally, ever) watch movies at the movie theatre. Almost certainly unlike you. The question asked is important.

Americans have it easy. In the UK even "movie theatre" is not used. The whole thing is called a cinema, and the room-place is normally just called a "screen", which is totally irrational.

I would have thought the screening took place on the screen.
