 Movie theatres should host longer movies, like 4 to 6 hours. Create a whole new experience. 

I went to the movies last night to see Code Red or whatever it was called, a Christmas movie about saving Santa. 

As I was sitting in a nearly empty movie theatre, I was thinking they should create longer movies. Two hours for $60 is a lot, but $60 for 6 hours is better. A place to hang out for longer. Have intermissions for snacks and bathroom breaks and stretches. 

As I am writing this, maybe babysitting nights or camp nights....send your kids to the movies for a night. 

Anyways, change the time frame to offer a full night away from home experience.
