During the 1920’s Movies theaters became extremely popular in the United States. Little by little every year, more and more movie theaters would pop up around the country. In March of 1998, Toshiba released its first DVD player to the American market. Everyone who was anyone went and purchased a dvd player. Now in 2013, almost every household has a DVD or blue ray player in their house. Even though the DVD player invention decreased the revenue for movie theaters, they’re still prospering in the United States. But why go to the movie theaters if you can watch a movie at the comfort of your own home. The costs of the two are no where near in price. If you decide you want to go out and watch a movie at the theater, you are spending money on gas, then another eleven or so dollars on the ticket and since you’re already there, why not purchase an overpriced bag of popcorn and a large drink. Right there you have spent about $30 just to see a movie and have snacks with it. While at home, you can snack on whatever you have lying around and it would be ten times cheaper than eating at your local movie theater. Some people cook dinner and watch a movie while eating. To me it seems as an unnecessary way to spend money, when you can be spending that money on other things or saving up for a vacation you’ve wanted to go on. The luxury of watching a movie at home is a lot more than watching it at a movie theater. If you unfortunately run into traffic on your way to the movie theaters and the only seats available are in the first row, what would you do? At home you always know where and when your seat is open. Let’s say you receive an important phone call while you’re at the movie theaters, you would have to walk out of the theater and take a chance on missing something important of the movie. While at your home, you can pause the movie, answer your call and then when finished with the call, play the movie exactly where you
