Movies, Sushi, and A**holes - Coming Soon!

Posted Mar 26th 2008 4:34PM by TMZ Staff

Rich life at the movie theater A few smarties have gotten together and figured out a way to get those teenaged chatterboxes out of your movie theater. It'll only cost you $35 - and that won't include popcorn!

Variety is reporting that over the next five years, 50 luxury movie theaters will pop up in affluent areas all over the country.

The fancy theaters will boast 40 reclining seats with footrests, a full bar, concierge service, and valet parking. And they'll have gourmet theater-friendly food, like sushi, delivered right to your reclining seat. So now instead of getting wasted and passing out watching a movie at home, you can get wasted and pass out in a comfortable chair not at home.

The first two venues are set to open in South Barrington, a suburb of Chicago, and the Seattle suburb of Redmond in October.

No word on whether your cell phone going off during the movie will get you ejected to the poor people's movie theater down the street.

32. They already have these in South Florida and they are great. Movico has a theater with valet, sprate entranc and a great restaurant that can deliver food to your seat - and the popcorn is free. It is a great experience with luxury seating including love seats. Advance ticketing, guarnteed seating - we loved it and went a couple of times a week before relocating to the midwest. Expensive - about the cost of a good dinner out for two. But worth it.

33. Okay. First, I think that these theaters are a great idea. I am so tired of going to late showings of R-rated movies and having loud babies, young children, and middle schoolers in the theatre (i.e. the 9:45 showing of The Bourne Ultimatum or the 9:30 showing of Superbad). These can give people the choice of what kind of movie viewing experience they want. Of course there will still be plenty of $9 theaters, nobody is forcing you to pay $35 to see a movie (the theaters aren't that prevalent anyways). Plus, I would pay more if I could eat fresh sushi and drink beer while at the theater.

35. Not all the noise comes from yackity-yak teenagers...senior citizens who can't hear and are constantly asking their friend "What did they say" is also annyoying. Not to mention the kicking of the seats, people constantly getting out of their seats for that refreshment they forgot or going to the bathroom from the refreshment they just had.

Movies theaters suck.

36. This is a "new" idea?? There was been a theater like this in Kansas City for over a year now! When did Kansas City get cutting-edge?

37. I wouldn't pay 35 dollars to go to a movie theater no matter how nice it is. I don't even go to the movie theater now when it costs nine dollars. I guess if you want to pay that much, go right on ahead, but it is definately not for me. Although I guess their are some people who are willing to pay that because they don't like all the noise coming from the loud kids who sit in the back row. Who came up with this idea anyway?
