assigned seats in movie theater

Why do American movie theaters now have assigned seats?

Jeff Ely has a hypothesis :

Everyone who has armchair-theorized why movie theaters don’t sell assigned seats in advance is now obligated to explain why this has changed and how that’s consistent with their model. I will start.   My theory was based on the value of advertising to movie-goers who must arrive early to get preferred seats and then are a captive audience.  This has become significantly less valuable now that said movie-goers can bring their own screens and be captive to some other advertiser.

Assigned, Reserved And General Seating - What's The Difference?

Event Planning 101

Share this post

Assigned seating, reserved tables, open seating, general admission, why are there so many options?! Before deciding on your floor plan, you need to understand the different ways to handle your seating arrangements. Let's get started!

Assigned Seating 

Have you ever purchased a ticket online where it had you pick your seat in advance? A concert maybe? The movie theaters? That was assigned seating. It's as simple as that. With assigned seating, you give your guests the choice to pick their seats on a first come , first served  basis.

You can also do tiered pricing depending on the layout of the venue. For example, front row can be VIP priced, the ground floor can be an extra fee, and the back rows can be the lowest priced seats because they are the least desired. 

Benefits of assigned seating events: 

• Guests can pick their seats before the event 
• Encourages sales early on, as the best seats sell out quickly
• Offers different prices depending on the seat selection 
• Handicap/disabled can see the venue layout before the event, finding a seat that works for their needs
• Family can coordinate to sit by one another
• Guests are prepared and knowledgeable about the venue layout beforehand
• Eliminates people saving seats with jackets or uncomfortable situations

Eliminates the chaos and confusion of deciding where to sit

Reserved Tables or Booths

So what does reserved seating mean? Reserved chairs, tables and booths is just a fancier way of saying assigned seating; think of it like that. Some people say assigned, some people say reserved. 

With reservations for tables and booths, one party member can hold an entire table at the event for their guests all under one name. The tricky part is finding an event registration that supports reservations for tables, booth, etc. Purplepass' seating system allows for huge flexibility regarding this issue.

Whether you are selling seats in rows, seats at a table, whole tables, selling booths for your vendors, or a combination of all of them, they can be supported and easily shown on your customized seating map; this is provided for free, I might add.

Benefits of reservations supporting tables and booths: 

• Great for social events (networking, dinning, auctions, etc.)
• Guests can reserve an entire section if they want it to themselves or share other seats at the table
• Online drink sales can be made and assigned to the tables ahead of time 

General Admission (Open Seating/Unreserved)

General admission or open seating is the popular choice for most events. It's easy; guests purchase tickets, are admitted and free to choose their seats upon arrival. However, this leads to the hustle and bustle of the first come, first served scenario.  

Benefits of general admission/an open seating plan: 

• No time wasted on creating a seating chart
• Guests can sit where they want and change their minds about seating choices
• Check out for tickets is faster and easier online

Cons: 

• May have to arrive early to get good seats depending on the demand 
• Seats can't always be guaranteed if venue over books
• Less organization for your guests
• Can be chaotic and awkward if you hold seats for others

AMC is about to make paying for theater seats more like booking an airline ticket

Amc’s new plan for ticket pricing will make spots at the front of the theater cheaper, while good seats in the back get a bit more expensive..

By Charles Pulliam-Moore , a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years.

Starting pretty soon, some tickets at AMC locations are going to be getting cheaper and more expensive depending on where you sit as the movie theater chain introduces a new tiered pricing scheme called Sightline.

Today, AMC announced its plans to roll out Sightline at AMC, a new pricing structure that will split auditorium seats into three differently priced tiers in theaters across the country beginning this Friday. In a statement about the new program, Eliot Hamlisch, AMC’s chief marketing officer, described Sightline as an effort to get consumers thinking about buying movie tickets the same way they might events at “many other entertainment venues.” Hamlisch also said that the new pricing structure is meant to give people who have particular seats they like a better shot at securing them and noted that some seats will become less expensive.

“While every seat at AMC delivers an amazing moviegoing experience, we know there are some moviegoers who prioritize their specific seat and others who prioritize value moviegoing,” Hamlisch said. “Sightline at AMC accommodates both sentiments to help ensure that our guests have more control over their experience, so that every trip to an AMC is a great one.”

Sightline’s three tiers — Value Sightline, Standard Sightline, and Preferred Sightline — each come with their own benefits at different price points. Value Sightline, which will consist of seats “in the front row of the auditorium, as well as select ADA seats” will be the cheapest option and will only be made available to members of AMC’s Stubs rewards program. Standard Sightline, “the most common” seats in theaters, will be available to everyone and cost the same price as regular tickets. Preferred Sightline, the most expensive seats, will be “in the middle of the auditorium,” and while the press release didn’t specify exactly how much more Preferred seats will cost, it did note that the premium fee will be waived for AMC Stubs A-List members.

Assigned seating in movie theaters has become fairly commonplace in recent years, but the same is less true of tiered pricing for screenings that aren’t exactly offering up all that much of a different experience at those different price points. AMC may want Sightline to make moviegoers look at theaters as giving them more choices, but it’s easy to see how the program could also make the movies feel weirdly split into first, second, and neck strain classes with many of the same headaches that come with air travel.

Especially at screenings that aren’t full, it’s difficult to imagine how AMC plans to make sure that Value Sightline folks don’t end up sitting in Preferred seats. But it won’t be too long to see how the program shakes out, as AMC plans to launch Sightline at AMC in New York, Chicago, and Kansas City this Friday, with hopes for a nationwide rollout by the end of the year.

Are assigned seats at movies the best or the worst? | The Tylt

There's nothing new about going to the movies, but the process for claiming your seat has changed quite a bit. Suddenly, movie theaters across the country are only offering assigned seating, requiring movie-goers to secure their tickets further in advance. Some welcome this change and appreciate the assurance of walking into the theater knowing exactly where their seat will be. Others say assigned seats ruin the spontaneity of going to the movies. What do you think? 

Many changes have been brewing in the movie industry over the past few years. As ticket prices went up, attendance continued to drop, and movie theaters knew they needed to adjust. 

Suddenly, movie theater seats became more like couches, and food could be delivered to you rather than purchased at concessions. The days of balancing popcorn on your knee and hoping no one sits in front of you so you can put your feet up are gone. Now, you can recline in your seat and order a burger, plus a cocktail, with your popcorn. Going to the movies had been revitalized, and the price point for doing so seems slightly more worth it. 

But fancier seats and accommodations brought another change: assigned seats.

Assigned seats make going to the movies feel much more like an event–akin to going to see a show or a sporting event. According to The Washington Post's John Kelly, that was the goal. Kelly looks to Patrick Corcoran of the National Association of Theatre Owners for insight:

Theater owners, [Corcoran] said, 'don’t have control over the movies being made, but they do have control over the customer experience. A lot of the industry is looking to give more comfort, convenience and better value.'

During the summer, AMC announced it was spending $600 million to renovate 1,800 of its nearly 5,000 auditoriums, installing plush recliner-style seating. These are larger than the old seats, meaning fewer will fit in each auditorium. Somewhat unexpectedly, AMC has found that revenue rises in the spiffed-up theaters.

The fancy seats do mean that fewer people can fit in each theater, and assigned seating takes away what would otherwise be a stressful consequence: longer ticket lines and anxiety for not finding the right place to watch your movie. 

In very rare cases do people plan days ahead to go to the movies. The movies are the one consistent form of entertainment that nearly everyone agrees on, making the movie theater an easy choice for friends when a Saturday afternoon suddenly opens up. 

Unless you're at the midnight premiere of the latest installment of " Fantastic Beasts ," you likely decided on heading to the theater within the 24 hours before the show actually starts. And in a world of assigned seats, that window is far too slim to offer you a solid theater position. 

Business Insider's James Grebey puts it bluntly: 

Reserved seating all but ruins an impromptu trip to even a mildly popular movie. If I look into buying tickets and the only seat left is directly underneath the screen, well, then I'll just go home and watch Netflix. My couch has no reserved seating, and the food is cheaper.

But by leaning into making movies an event, AMC and its ilk are inadvertently shutting the door on the concept of moviegoing as a casual activity. 

But, assigned seating takes away the anxiety of trying to secure the seats you like in the theater and save time as a result.

Once you've claimed your seat online, there's no need to rush to the theater to snag the coveted middle row. You can stroll into your 7:30 movie at 7:29, resting easy knowing that you have the seat that will make your movie experience the most enjoyable. 

Assigned seats can also act as a strategy. If you decide to go see " A Star is Born " right after work, and the 7:30 showing only has seats left in the front row, you know to book your ticket for the 8:30 slot. The stress of getting to the theater early, saving seats for your friends has been completely eliminated by assigned seating. 

Sure, your seat may be secured, and if you're an avid movie-goer, you'll probably still arrive to the theater on time. But what about the procrastinators? 

Assigned seats only encourage the chronically tardy by taking away any incentive to arrive early. Furthermore, whether your arrive late or on time, if someone is in your assigned seat, you have the deal with the drama of asking them to move and proving that your seat is indeed yours. Good luck pulling out that movie stub that you definitely already lost. 

The Odyssey's Julia Humphrey points out: 

Reserved seating also means that people will purposely show up late because they know they have a certain seat. I get it. Why bother showing up early? Here's why: showing up late distracts everyone else trying to watch the movie.

Along with the late arrivals, reserved seating creates a lot of friction with movie goers, and no one wants do deal with that when they're just trying to have a good time...I went to go see a movie a few months back, and I was already in my seat, as was another man in the row in front of me. About 20 mins later, another man walks in with his wife and apparently the first man was sitting in the wrong seat. I didn't get the big deal; we were the only four people for the whole movie, but man, did the second guy put up a fight.

Assigned seats ruin the ease of movies. They complicate a system that was not in need of fixing.

How to pick the perfect seat in a movie theater for sound and picture

You paid a lot to get into the theater, make sure it's worth the price of the ticket.

By Eric Alt | Updated Jul 26, 2022 11:04 AM EDT

Nearly everyone at one time or another has had to endure seeing a blockbuster movie from the POV of a milk mustache under the main character’s nose. The front row is where the tardy are relegated, where those who have yet to master the chicanery of pre-orders and reserved seating must be exiled. There is no question that they are the worst seats in any house. The existence of a worst, then, must suggest its opposite: The ideal seat. The perfect focal point that maximizes your visual and aural experience. Does it exist?

For a standard movie theater with exit rows on the sides (as opposed to down the middle, as some older theaters have), the best spot is as close to dead center as you can get. “I’ve always felt the obvious best spot to sit in a movie theater is in the center of the room, center with the screen. This way your eyes are more centralized and not straining to catch things on the very left or right side of the image on screen,” says Joe Muto, head projectionist for Nitehawk Cinemas. You also don’t want to have too wide of a vertical viewing angle so you have to look too far up or down to see the whole screen. That’s a large part of what makes sitting in the front row so unpleasant for most people.

The center positioning is also good for sound. “You have the best placement for surround sound, and your ears catch the full effect of all the speakers in the house working together,” says Muto. Sitting too close to one side isn’t as much of a downside as it once was, at least from a sound perspective. Audio companies like THX now try to tune the speaker performance and arrangement to deliver more consistent sound to everyone in the room. Still, you have to trust your ears and listen for things like audible reflections, in which sound echoes off of non-speaker surfaces in the room and can make dialog sound muddy or hard to understand.

A lot of it depends on factors beyond just seat location, which can be frustrating if your theater isn’t all that engaged in improving or monitoring the customer experience. “Often, theaters will not regularly update their projector lamps, causing the brightness of the image to dim significantly over time,” says Muto. “That can absolutely affect the viewing experience. Keeping the projector lamps up to spec, especially in a very big auditorium, is crucial. Especially for a mainstream or Hollywood movie.” In a case like this, you’re not going to get the best experience no matter where you plunk your popcorn.

When you factor IMAX, however, the variables aren’t exactly the same. “We have a patented design for our theater geometry,” explains Brian Bonnick, chief technical officer for IMAX. “We start off with a screen that goes from wall to wall, floor to ceiling as opposed to having – in most theaters – a frame around it. The second step is that the seating deck is stadium style, and it’s much closer to the screen. So your field of view becomes much larger, from any seat in the theater.” Sitting in the front row as opposed to the back row in a traditional theater means your geometric relationship to the screen is wildly different. Bonnick describes the IMAX system as “stouter,” with less variation from seat to seat.

They also extend this level of detail to the sound as well. “The loudspeakers are then designed where they’re going to sit in the venue. This is done independently for every single theater in CAD,” says Bonnick. “So when the guys arrive on site, they get an X-Y-Z coordinate for each loudspeaker, for where it is to be hung. Once it’s mounted there, we have a target little bigger than a hockey puck and it is stuck somewhere else in the theater and we use a laser to aim each loudspeaker to its individual target. And those targets are all calculated so that each loudspeaker’s sound dispersion is hitting every seat in the theater evenly.”

Still, even when he’s in an IMAX theater himself, Bonnick finds himself adhering to the “2/3 of the way from the screen, in the middle” concept—even though he admits he does so “more out of habit than anything.”

These Are Taken

Why don’t movie theaters have reserved seating.

Photo by Jovo Marjanovic/iStockphoto/Thinkstock

What does an American actually mean when he asks “Can you make it to the 6 p.m. showing of Blue Jasmine ?” Probably something along the lines of, “Can at least one of us make it there by like 5:35 p.m., 5:40 p.m. at the latest?”

Sure enough, when I arrived at 5:40 for a recent 6 p.m. showing of Woody Allen’s latest, I found lots of jumpy half-couples in the lobby, checking their phones, shifting their weight from foot to foot, eventually looking up with a relieved smile that said, There you are! I’m glad to see you. But let’s get in there right now.

In the already half-full theater, my companion and I zoomed toward a pair of choice empty seats. We nearly sat down before we realized the seats were being “held” by a headband—presumably the only garment a New Yorker dressed for August could spare. Forced to retreat into the stream of fellow seat-searchers, we pushed on toward another open pair. Except these ones weren’t empty either. Someone had left their laptop—their laptop!—on the armrest. Eventually we were forced to settle for seats much farther back, up against the side wall.

This undignified scramble isn’t confined to hot Manhattan afternoons or Woody Allen’s latest and greatest. Versions of this melee occur on busy nights in theatres across the country. And the worst thing about this cinematic insanity? It’s seemingly unnecessary. Some of life’s little stresses—bone dust-spewing dental drills, the unspeakable user interface on my cable box, people texting during the movie itself —can’t be avoided. But here’s an idea to smooth the theatre-going experience for all Americans. Why don’t we reserve our seats in advance?

I know, it’s crazy talk. But Americans expect reserved seats at many concerts and sporting events. And if you’ve been to the movies overseas, you know how few countries put up with our cinematic seating scrums. In much of the world—the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, South Korea, Sweden, Turkey, India, Singapore, big cities in Japan, Russia, and China—reserved seating is the rule. Elsewhere, in countries like Brazil, filmgoers can usually choose between reserved and open-seating theaters.

The advantages of reserved seating seem, at first glance, to be unassailable. Most obviously, you sit where you want. If it’s busy, you choose your own compromise—in the middle rows but on the side, for example, or a frontish row, but centered. If you have limited mobility, or don’t feel comfortable staggering down a darkened, steeply inclined row, you can reserve an aisle or ground-floor seat. Not long ago, I watched an elderly couple arrive maybe 20 minutes before a show only to find an already-packed theater. In obvious distress, they had to separate, and the gentleman nearly fell as he made his way to his single seat, past teenagers too rude to stand up to let him pass.

With your seat assigned, you don’t need to arrive crazy early, or stand in a long line, or rush into the theater, precariously balancing Sunday manners against fired-up lower-brained competitiveness. If you’re on a date, you don’t need to worry about playing it cool while also making sure you get a really great seat. You don’t need to mark your territory with clothing or personal electronics before going to the bathroom or dropping six bucks on a tub of Coke. And if you’re attending with friends—for many, the sole remaining attraction of going to the movies, given the improvements to the home theater experience—you know you’ll be able to sit together.

With so much to recommend reserved seating, we might ask why the U.S. stands apart from most of the rest of the world. Well, there are some advantages to open seating, as well—at least for theater owners. The sooner you arrive, the hungrier and thirstier you’ll get. Since it went big in theatres during the Great Depression, popcorn prices have increased a diabolical 666 percent, while ticket prices have risen just 66 percent.  

And the earlier you arrive, the more ads you’ll watch. Cinema advertising is big business— about $650 million in 2011. The audience, according to the (hardly impartial) Cinema Advertising Council , is uniquely “attentive, engaged, and comprised of highly desirable young, affluent, and well educated consumers who aren’t distracted.” I don’t know about attentive—but you’re certainly captive.

There are other advantages for theater owners. If you knew beforehand just how crappy a seat you were going to end up in—and that it might not even be adjacent to your loved one’s crappy seat—you might go to another cinema. Or you might just not go at all. Patrick Corcoran, vice president of NATO (the National Association of Theatre Owners, of course), told me that some U.S. theaters that have tried reserved seating have seen a drop in attendance. Open seating is also simpler to administer. Arclight, a southern California theater chain with reserved seating, feels it’s necessary to offer customers detailed online instructions on how assigned seating works. (“The seat information consists of a combination of letters and numbers …”) Without a seating chart to ponder, ticket window transactions are faster.

If reserved seating would be pricier for theater owners, then it would surely be pricier for consumers, too. Part of me would love it if Arclight went national. But Arclight is a premium chain—your reserved ticket comes with extra-wide seats, no ads, and a higher-than-usual price tag. In fact, reserved seating in U.S. theaters, as in other countries where a mix of open and reserved exists, is almost always a luxury experience. AMC, for example, now offers reserved seating in its premium dine-in theatres —along with personal recliners, alcoholic drinks, and push-button chair-side service.

In an America that is increasingly divided along economic lines, I’d be worried about an explosion of premium theaters, or a national move to reserved seating that might raise prices for everyone. As more and more details of daily life are determined by income, the movies remain as shared a cultural space as we’ve got left.

Some open-seating proponents argue that our current system is more democratic as well. I don’t buy that. It simply rewards those who plan ahead and get there early rather than those who plan ahead and reserve a seat online (not everyone has Internet access, but then not everyone has a free half-hour to burn, either). Still, I agree that open seating seems more democratic. The theater, when we enter it, feels like an easily understood common space, like a park or a bus. First come, first served. And open seating is certainly less formal—another occasional American virtue.

Reserved seating may also vaguely offend our sense of freedom. This feeling may not be logical—under reserved seating, with a little foresight, you’re arguably more “free” to sit where you want—but then, few feelings are logical. “It’s about choice, which is something we Americans place a lot of stock in,” explained Chris Gordon, the New York–born editor of the St. Petersburg Times , an English-language paper in Russia’s second city. Gordon pines for American-style free seating, and notes an additional, practical advantage: the freedom to make on-the-fly decisions to avoid people who are tall, loud, or smartphone-addled.

Open seating, especially on a busy night, is also more social. You have to wait with, squeeze past, and maybe sit between people you don’t know—you might even end up talking to them!—but it’s also more chaotic. In some countries, this may not be the best cultural fit. Uday Bhatia, an editor at Time Out Delhi , can “imagine free seating causing a few crowd control problems inside and outside the hall … India’s not the greatest nation as far as queues are concerned.”

But in Britain—surely the greatest nation, as far as queues are concerned—seating is generally reserved too, and perhaps in more than one sense. James Wilkinson , an English-born editor , suspects the English preference for assigned seating stems from a national “distaste for social interaction outside of pubs.” Examples like India and England suggest that at the movies at least, Americans operate in a rare middle ground: outgoing and generally rule- and line-abiding.

There is one other country out there that seems to love open-seating as much as Americans: France. And when it comes to the idea of reserved seating, our compatriots in 18 th -century revolutionary fervor are heading back to the barricades to protest it. A recent attempt at premium, reserved seating in Paris was abandoned just weeks ago, after howls that it “overturned the law of first come, first serve.” There was even a resolution in Paris’ city council : such seating “harms the cinema, by definition a popular art.”

So, OK, the mayor of Bethesda, Md., is unlikely to condemn Arclight’s planned theater in the city as a crime against the American Revolution. But if open seating for nearly everyone is holding prices down, then it might be worth keeping, if the movies in America are to remain even a shadow of what they once were—inexpensive, informal entertainment for everyone, together. In other words, my fellow Americans, I will see you—reluctantly, and ridiculously early—in line.

Why do movie theaters have assigned seating.

Yamin Sarkar July 26, 2023 Movie Theaters

Movie theaters have assigned seating to provide a convenient and organized experience for customers. By assigning seats, moviegoers can secure their preferred location and avoid the hassle of finding available seats upon arrival.

Additionally, assigned seating helps theaters optimize capacity and maximize ticket sales, ensuring an efficient use of space. It also enables groups to sit together and allows for better crowd management during busy showtimes. Overall, assigned seating enhances the movie-watching experience by offering convenience, comfort, and a stress-free environment for patrons.

The Evolution Of Seating In Movie Theaters

Movie theaters have come a long way in terms of their seating arrangements. From the early days of simple wooden benches to the luxurious reclining seats in modern multiplexes, the evolution of seating in movie theaters has been driven by various factors.

In this section, we will explore the key milestones that led to the implementation of assigned seating in theaters.

Early Movie Theaters And The Absence Of Assigned Seating

• In the early days of cinema, movie theaters were smaller and had limited seating capacity.
• The seating arrangement in these theaters was often first-come, first-served, with patrons free to choose any available seat upon entry.
• These early theaters typically featured basic wooden benches or simple chairs, offering little comfort or convenience to moviegoers.
• As the popularity of cinema grew and more people flocked to theaters, the lack of assigned seating became increasingly problematic.

The Need For Assigned Seating With The Rise Of Multiplexes

• With the emergence of multiplexes in the 1970s, the demand for assigned seating became more apparent.
• Multiplexes are large venues with multiple screens, offering a wide variety of movies to choose from.
• The absence of assigned seating in these theaters often resulted in chaotic situations, especially during peak times or highly anticipated movie releases.
• Moviegoers had to arrive early and often wait in long queues to secure their preferred seats.
• The introduction of assigned seating in multiplexes helped alleviate these issues, providing a more organized and convenient experience for movie lovers.

Implementing Assigned Seating Through Technological Advancements

• The implementation of assigned seating in movie theaters was made possible by technological advancements.
• The advent of computerized ticketing systems enabled theaters to efficiently manage seat assignments.
• These systems allowed moviegoers to select their seats at the time of ticket purchase, either online or at the box office.
• Assigned seating also facilitated a more personalized experience, as theaters could accommodate specific requests or prioritize accessibility seating.
• Furthermore, technological innovations like digital screens and mobile apps further streamlined the assigned seating process, enhancing the overall movie-going experience.

The evolution of seating in movie theaters has seen a shift from first-come, first-served arrangements to the implementation of assigned seating. This transition was prompted by the increased demand for a more organized experience in multiplexes, along with advancements in technology.

Assigned seating has not only minimized chaos and queues, but also allowed for a more personalized and enjoyable movie-watching experience for audiences.

Benefits Of Assigned Seating For Moviegoers

Assigned seating in movie theaters has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. This system offers several benefits for moviegoers, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience. Let’s explore some of the advantages of assigned seating:

Ensuring A Stress-Free Movie Experience

• No need to rush: With assigned seating, you can arrive at the theater without the worry of finding good seats. You can take your time getting to the theater, knowing that your preferred seats are waiting for you.
• Convenience: Assigned seating eliminates the need to wander around the theater, searching for suitable seats. You can simply look for your designated seat and settle in comfortably without any hassle.
• Group seating: Assigning seats helps to ensure that you and your friends or family can sit together. This is especially beneficial for larger groups who want to enjoy the movie together without any separation.

Securing Preferred Seating For Popular Movies

• Better movie selection: Assigned seating allows you to plan your movie experience in advance. If there’s a highly anticipated film you’ve been looking forward to, you can choose your seats early and secure the best available spots, ensuring optimal viewing.
• Prime viewing positions: Whether you prefer the center of the theater, the back rows, or specific locations for the best sound and visual experiences, assigned seating allows you to select your preferred spots. This way, you can enhance your enjoyment of the movie.
• Accessibility options: Assigned seating makes it easier for individuals with accessibility needs to secure seats that cater to their requirements. This ensures that everyone can enjoy the movie comfortably, regardless of their mobility or special needs.

Avoiding Conflicts And Seat Disputes

• No seat stealing: Assigned seating helps avoid conflicts that may arise when someone takes your preferred seat. Each moviegoer knows exactly which seat they should occupy, minimizing the chances of seat disputes and creating a more harmonious movie environment.
• Enhanced movie etiquette: With assigned seating, it’s easier to follow proper theater etiquette. There’s no need to worry about accidentally sitting in someone else’s seat or asking others to move. This fosters a respectful atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the movie without distractions.
• Enjoy the previews: Assigned seating allows you to arrive early and settle comfortably in your seat before the movie starts. This gives you the opportunity to relax, enjoy the previews, and prepare for the main feature without the stress of finding suitable seats at the last moment.

Assigned seating at movie theaters offers numerous benefits for moviegoers. From creating a stress-free experience to securing preferred seats and avoiding conflicts, this system enhances the overall movie-watching experience. So next time you head to the theater, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show in your assigned seat.

The Operational Advantages Of Assigned Seating For Movie Theaters

Movie theaters have come a long way since the early days of cinema, when viewers would rush to find the best available seats. With the introduction of assigned seating, moviegoers can now reserve their seats in advance, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience.

But why exactly do movie theaters have assigned seating? Let’s explore the operational advantages behind this popular trend.

Efficient Customer Flow And Reduced Waiting Time:

• Assigned seating helps streamline the entry process, allowing theater staff to manage the flow of customers more efficiently.
• By pre-booking their seats, moviegoers can avoid long queues and waiting times, enhancing their overall movie experience.
• Customers can arrive just in time for the show, knowing that their seats are secured, without the need to waste time searching for available seats.

Maximizing Occupancy Rates And Revenue:

• Assigned seating allows movie theaters to optimize their occupancy rates by filling up every seat in the theater.
• With a clear view of availability, theaters can manage their ticket sales effectively, avoiding over-booking or under-selling.
• By offering premium seating options, such as larger screens or prime locations, theaters can generate higher revenue and cater to different customer preferences.

Improved Crowd Management And Safety Measures:

• Assigned seating enables theater staff to implement improved crowd management strategies, ensuring a smooth and organized movie-going experience.
• In case of emergencies or evacuations, assigned seating facilitates a more streamlined process, as theater staff can account for every seat and provide clear instructions to moviegoers.
• It also helps enforce social distancing measures, especially during times when limited capacity is necessary, providing a safer environment for movie enthusiasts.

Assigned seating in movie theaters brings several operational advantages that benefit both the theater and its customers. From efficient customer flow and reduced waiting times to maximizing occupancy rates and revenue, as well as enhanced crowd management and safety measures, assigned seating has become a preferred choice for moviegoers worldwide.

Whether you’re planning a night out with friends or a family outing, the convenience and organization offered by assigned seating ensure an enjoyable cinematic experience from the moment you step into the theater.

The Impact Of Assigned Seating On Movie Theater Revenue

In recent years, movie theaters have increasingly adopted the practice of assigned seating, where moviegoers select their seats in advance rather than sitting wherever they please. This shift has not only improved the overall movie-watching experience for patrons but has also had a significant impact on theater revenue.

Let’s delve into various strategies to optimize revenue through assigned seating, pricing differentiation, and tracking consumer preferences.

Strategies To Optimize Revenue Through Assigned Seating

Assigned seating allows movie theaters to implement several revenue optimization strategies, ultimately enhancing profitability. Here are some key approaches:

• Maximizing capacity: By accurately assigning seats, theaters can efficiently utilize their available space, ensuring that no seats go unused during popular screenings.
• Optimizing ticket pricing: With assigned seating, theaters can introduce tiered pricing models, charging higher prices for prime seating locations, such as the center of the auditorium or rows with enhanced viewing angles. This pricing differentiation enables theaters to capture additional revenue from customers willing to pay a premium for the best seats.
• Overcoming no-show rates: Assigned seating discourages customers from buying tickets and failing to attend the screening. Theaters can leverage this feature by implementing cancellation policies that allow them to resell unclaimed seats shortly before the movie starts, reducing revenue losses caused by no-shows.
• Increasing concession sales: By prompting moviegoers to select seats in advance, theaters have an opportunity to offer pre-ordering options for concessions. This approach streamlines the ordering process, reduces wait times, and can lead to increased concession sales as customers can conveniently plan and purchase their snacks ahead of time.

Pricing Differentiation And Premium Seating Options

Another significant aspect of assigned seating is the ability to introduce pricing differentiation and offer premium seating options. This approach can have a substantial impact on revenue. Here’s how:

• Tiered pricing: Theater operators can create pricing tiers based on the desirability of specific seats within the auditorium. By assigning a higher value to prime seating locations, such as those with better viewing angles or closer proximity to the screen, theaters can cater to customer preferences while maximizing revenue.
• Premium seating experiences: Movie theaters can also explore the concept of premium seating experiences, providing luxurious amenities like larger, plush seats, extra legroom, and personalized service. These premium options can command higher ticket prices, appealing to customers seeking a more upscale and comfortable movie-watching experience.
• Group seating: Assigned seating makes it easier for larger groups to secure adjacent seats. Theaters can capitalize on this by offering discounted group rates or special packages, enticing customers to bring their friends or family along and thereby increasing ticket sales.

Tracking Consumer Preferences And Demand Patterns

Assigned seating also allows movie theaters to gain valuable insights into consumer preferences and demand patterns. Here’s how this data can be effectively utilized:

• Analyzing seat selection patterns: By tracking the seats customers choose when given the opportunity, theaters can understand which seats are most popular and adjust their pricing and seating layouts accordingly.
• Identifying demand trends: By monitoring seat availability and occupancy levels, theaters can identify demand patterns for different movies, genres, or showtimes. This information can help in scheduling screenings strategically, focusing marketing efforts, and optimizing revenue generation.
• Personalizing the movie-going experience: Armed with data on customer preferences, theaters can offer personalized recommendations, exclusive offers, or targeted promotions to enhance customer loyalty and drive repeat business.

Assigned seating in movie theaters not only enhances the movie-watching experience but also has a profound impact on theater revenue. Through revenue optimization strategies, pricing differentiation, and tracking consumer preferences, theaters can maximize their profitability, while customers can enjoy a more convenient and tailored cinema experience.

The Psychology Behind Assigned Seating

The sense of ownership and personal space.

Assigned seating in movie theaters plays into the psychology of the sense of ownership and personal space. Here are some key points to consider:

• When individuals purchase tickets with assigned seating, they feel a sense of ownership over their specific seats. This sense of ownership can create a feeling of comfort and security, as they know they have a designated spot within the theater.
• Assigned seating gives individuals a sense of personal space, allowing them to maintain their personal boundaries. With designated seats, people don’t have to worry about others encroaching on their personal space or sitting too close to them.
• Having assigned seats also eliminates the stress of arriving early to get a good seat. Individuals can relax knowing that their seat is guaranteed, regardless of when they arrive at the theater.
• Assigned seating can also promote fairness and equality, as everyone has an equal opportunity to choose their desired seats. It eliminates the need for individuals to rush or compete for desirable seats, creating a more pleasant and stress-free experience.

The Influence Of Social Norms On Seating Choices

The seating choices in movie theaters are greatly influenced by social norms. Here are some key points to consider:

• Humans are inherently social beings and tend to conform to social norms. In a movie theater setting, individuals are more likely to choose seats based on where others have already seated themselves. This behavior is driven by the desire to fit in and avoid standing out.
• Social norms also dictate that individuals prefer to sit in populated areas rather than empty ones. People feel more comfortable when they see others around them, as it creates a sense of security and familiarity.
• Proximity to friends and family members also influences seating choices. People often prefer to sit close to their companions to facilitate conversation and shared experiences during the movie.
• Another social norm that impacts seating choices is the desire for optimal viewing angles. Moviegoers tend to choose seats that offer the best vantage point, ensuring a clear view of the screen without any obstructions.

Enhancing The Overall Movie-Going Experience

Assigned seating in movie theaters is implemented to enhance the overall movie-going experience. Here are some key points to consider:

• Assigned seating allows theater staff to manage the seating layout efficiently. By allocating specific seats to moviegoers, it becomes easier to monitor seat occupancy and ensure that the theater operates at optimal capacity.
• Being able to select seats in advance gives moviegoers the opportunity to choose their preferred seating arrangement. This includes factors such as proximity to the screen, seating comfort, and access to exits, resulting in a more personalized and enjoyable experience.
• Assigned seating reduces the likelihood of conflicts arising from disputed seats. With assigned seats, moviegoers can avoid awkward situations where someone else claims their chosen seat, preventing unnecessary confrontations or disruptions.
• For individuals with specific accessibility needs, assigned seating ensures that suitable accommodations are available. This includes wheelchair-accessible seating or seats with better audio or visual capabilities, making the experience more inclusive and accommodating for all.
• Overall, assigned seating contributes to an organized and streamlined movie-going experience, where individuals can relax and fully immerse themselves in the movie without any seating-related concerns. It helps create a positive atmosphere that enhances the enjoyment of the film.

The Future Of Assigned Seating In Movie Theaters

In today’s fast-paced world, convenience and personalization are key factors that drive consumer satisfaction. Movie theaters have taken note of this and have implemented assigned seating as a way to enhance the moviegoing experience for patrons. However, as technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more exciting changes on the horizon.

Let’s take a closer look at the future of assigned seating in movie theaters.

Emerging Technologies And Enhanced Reservation Systems

The movie theater industry is no stranger to technological advancements. As we move forward, emerging technologies will play a crucial role in the evolution of assigned seating. Here are some key points to consider:

• Smart ticketing systems: Innovations such as mobile apps and digital ticketing platforms will continue to streamline the reservation process, allowing moviegoers to easily select their desired seats from the comfort of their own homes.
• Virtual reality (vr): Imagine being able to virtually explore the layout of a theater and see a preview of what your seat view would look like before purchasing a ticket. With the advancement of vr, this could become a reality, giving moviegoers an immersive experience even before stepping foot inside the cinema.
• Artificial intelligence (ai): Ai-powered algorithms can analyze individual preferences, seating patterns, and movie genres to offer personalized recommendations for seating arrangements. This technology could help optimize the movie theater experience for each moviegoer, ensuring they get the best seats based on their preferences.

Customized Seating Experiences And Personalized Recommendations

Gone are the days of generic seats with limited options for customization. In the future, movie theaters will strive to provide personalized experiences tailored to each individual. Consider the following points:

• Flexible seating options: Future theaters may offer a variety of seating arrangements to cater to different preferences. From cozy recliners to spacious sofas or even bean bags, moviegoers will have the freedom to choose a seat that suits their comfort level and enhances their viewing experience.
• Personalized recommendations: Building on the advancements in ai technology, movie theaters can use data analysis to recommend specific seats or even entire sections based on individual preferences. Whether it’s a preference for being closer to the screen or near the exit, personalized recommendations will ensure that moviegoers have an enjoyable experience tailored to their needs.

Potential Challenges And Considerations For Future Implementation

While the future of assigned seating in movie theaters appears promising, it’s essential to acknowledge the potential challenges and considerations that may arise. Here are a few points to keep in mind:

• Accessibility concerns: With customized seating options, it’s crucial to ensure that movie theaters remain accessible to all individuals, including those with mobility challenges or disabilities. The future implementation of assigned seating should prioritize inclusivity and cater to diverse needs.
• Ticket pricing: As the movie theater experience becomes more personalized and customizable, it’s worth considering how this might impact ticket pricing. Movie theaters will need to find a balance between offering enhanced experiences and maintaining affordability for all moviegoers.
• Technological infrastructure: Implementing advanced technologies and reservation systems will require robust technological infrastructure. Theaters will need to invest in the necessary equipment and systems to support these changes successfully.

As technology continues to advance, the future of assigned seating in movie theaters holds great promise. With emerging technologies, enhanced reservation systems, customized seating experiences, and personalized recommendations, the moviegoing experience is set to become even more convenient and enjoyable.

However, it’s vital to address potential challenges and considerations to ensure that these developments are inclusive and accessible to all. With careful planning and innovation, the future of assigned seating in movie theaters looks brighter than ever.

A remote worker explains why she stands by the controversial practice of working from movie theaters

• A remote worker shared a video of herself on her laptop while at the movie theater.
• In the caption she encouraged others to use the space as an office.
• Some backed the idea while others felt it was inconvenient for the worker and other theater-goers.

A remote worker who encouraged others to use a quiet movie theater as a temporary office has caused a stir online, as some loved the idea while others felt it was inconvenient all around.

On November 16, Hanna Williams , a 25-year-old freelance writer from Los Angeles, California, posted a video filmed in what appeared to be a movie theater, holding an open laptop that appeared to display an email inbox, while a scene played out on the screen in the background.

An on-screen caption in the TikTok read, "this is your sign to go to an empty 11am movie on a WFH day."

At the end of the video, which was tagged at the location of AMC Theatres in Sterling Heights, Michigan, the camera showed Williams sitting in her theater seat, giving a thumbs up.

The upload received 954,000 views and over 860 comments, which were torn on the temporary office.

A popular comment said they'd forgotten they had "free will" and could do this sort of thing, while another viewer described it as an "amazing idea," and a further commenter jokingly asked the TikToker to keep the whole thing a secret, as they suggested they did the same thing as a freelancer too.

Williams told Business Insider in an email exchange that she juggled multiple freelance roles, which included writing product reviews and writing for a mobile game. She usually worked from home or at a co-working space, and this was her first time working remotely in a theater, but she said it definitely wouldn't be the last.

"I figured, I write all the time with the TV on in the background, why couldn't I do it at the movies, too?" she told Business Insider.

But some people were against the idea, saying it seemed inconvenient not only for the person working, as they might have to take a short-notice call or video chat, but for others who may be in the same screening who would have to put up with the bright laptop screen and the sounds of typing.

In a series of comments, Williams went into further detail and explained she had checked the seating in the theater app first to ensure the space was empty, that she was an AMC Stubs member which meant she could use the cinema Wi-Fi. She added that she sat against the back wall with her laptop brightness turned right down.

Another comment suggested this was the sort of behavior that led employers to push for workers to return to in-person office work .

But Williams disagreed. "If companies are gonna force people back into the office, they're gonna do it no matter what we do," she told Business Insider.

Williams said she wanted to remind those who did have flexibility in their role to "experiment a little."

Williams told BI she hoped other people took her up on the idea of working in the movie theater, although she emphasized it was important to be respectful of others.

"If I felt like I was bugging someone, the laptop would've gone straight away," she told Business Insider. "Definitely don't want to ruin the movie experience for anyone."

The number of remote workers dipped to its lowest level since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic between September 20 and October 2, according to Census Bureau data, but a quarter of households still have one remote worker.

Despite increasing moves to drive employees back to the office, many are still arguing against it, saying they are more productive and have a better work-life balance working remotely — whether that's from a traditional home office, or, apparently, a less conventional location too.
