They used to have intermissions!

They did? Bring them back.

They did, but it was mostly to boost snack sales (the long-time moneymaker of theaters).

Let’s all go to the lobby, let’s all go to the lobby, let’s all go to the lobby to get ourselves a treat!

The little boy takes a bite out of a chocolate bar and it stretches like a piece of taffy.

It was great. You could even get little pots of ice cream during them.

I remember when I was a wee lad, we went to see Titanic, and the movie was so long they showed it in two parts!

Musical theatre and opera still do!

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 2 points 17 minutes ago

I went to an opera a couple of days ago and was very pleasantly surprised about the extended breaks. It actually makes it so much more of an event, not to mention that nobody was rushing to the bathroom because the breaks were like 30 minutes each (between each act they redo the decor on the set). It also gave you plenty of time to grab a bite to eat and a drink.

And non-musical live theatre too!

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Wonder if the studios said they can't have them anymore. Would be cool if a theater brought them back. Probably have tons of people just leave when the movie is bad.

[–] CombatWombat@feddit.online 2 points 2 hours ago

I have to assume it's studios -- movie theaters make most of their money selling concessions, and intermissions are great for that.
