    Movie going experience is a lot different now with online ticket ordering and reserved seating. With purchasing your tickets online and just picking them up at the kiosk you no longer have to wait in line to get your tickets. And reserved seating makes a huge difference on big opening weekends for movies like Star Wars for example. You no longer have to get to the theater more than an hour in advance and wait in a line before you even go into the theater just so that you can get a good seat. You had to wait in the line and then basically run to a quality seat and then you still had to wait 30 minutes for the showtime to start(then 20 minutes of commericals and trailers after that). Now you can show up whenever you want and know your seat is going to be waiting for you.
