Does anyone go to the movies anymore?

Tonight, Vanessa and I went to see the latest Mummy movie (she liked the first two, don’t ask about this one) and was struck by the complete lack of people at the theater. No, not just that particular screen showing that particular can’t-believe-we-paid-full-price-for-this film, but the entire cineplex.

There were, maybe, 50 cars in the parking lot at both 7:30 pm when we arrived, and just before 10 pm when we left. I’ve never seen that lot so empty.

I know it is OU weekend, but seriously, don’t people go out to the movies on Friday night?
