Intermissions during movie theater movies

The Case for Intermissions in Movie Theaters

I’m really frustrated with the experience of sitting through an entire movie without a break. It’s tough to concentrate when you’re trying to hold it in or worry about missing a key scene.

Movies should have built-in intermissions! Alternatively, theaters could implement scheduled breaks every hour for about 10 minutes.

From a business perspective, this would encourage moviegoers to head back to the snack bar, increasing revenue for the theater. Plus, for the audience, it means not having to sit through a film with a full bladder or risking missing important moments in a movie we paid to see. Let’s make the movie experience more enjoyable!

  1. I completely understand your frustration! Long films can definitely make it difficult to enjoy the experience without the constant distraction of needing a bathroom break. Built-in intermissions would not only benefit audiences but also give theaters an opportunity to boost snack sales. Plus, it could allow viewers to discuss the film so far, enhancing the communal experience of watching a movie. It’s a win-win!

    More theaters should definitely consider implementing this idea, especially for those epic blockbusters over two hours long. Wouldn’t it be great to enjoy the film without that constant worry?
