And even further, only those exact same two seats are ‘taken’ for every single showing.

I thought for sure the after church showings tomorrow would be at least somewhat full, but nope.

    Reasonable reason: pre-2020 theaters would be packed sometimes and it’s helpful to have assigned seats. It resolves seating disputes and gets people to go straight to their seats. When I saw Avengers End Game (or maybe Infinity War), they had to have employees spotting empty seats for everyone walking in.

    Cynical theory: they’re logging seat selection trends and going to move to tiered pricing like airplane seats
