Honestly, I'm not sure why all movies over 2 hours don't have them, inserted by the theater so that they can sell more popcorn and candy.
As someone with a bladder over 40 yrs old now (ugh), I think intermissions ought to be mandatory in anything over 2.5 hrs.
If studios want cinema to survive (and at this point I'm not sure they do), they need to stop trying to cater exclusively to the 29-35 yr-old demo.
My parents used to go to movies often. Now they find it a daunting chore because of the online reserved seating. So they just don't go anymore. I don't imagine they're alone in that.
I will recommend the RunPee app. Been using it for years now and never worry about getting up to pee.
Why do these things always need to be apps when they would work just as well as a webpage?
It includes a timer that you start when the film starts
Websites can do that just as easily. The general truth is that native apps can be promoted more easily, and they can have smoother UIs.
