It's a MARVEL film. So I was very entertained.

Overpriced concessions and annoying ass people are a huge turn off.

See to me - the theatre is the experience - must be a childhood thing. I love the huge dark room and immersive experience. I have a great system at home, but nothing like that.
I DO agree on the annoying people. I have been known to say something. If you come to the movie to be on your phone the entire time? Fuck off. If you come to the movies to talk the entire time? Fuck off. These are the people that need to stay at home - not us. There is a theatre an hour or so from me that I have never been too - but I'd love to support it. When you get there, you are told - no talking and no phones - period. They have a text line so people in the movie can text them (I get the irony) when someone is on their phone or talking and they will come and escort them out. You get TOSSED! I love it. It's terrible you have to even ask people not to be assholes, but here we are.
That is why I wait till movies are out for a month or so before I go and go in the middle of the week. My local one started a Tuesday deal where members can come for $5 and get a free small popcorn. I went this week, got my ticket, popcorn, milkdudes, and a large drink for $15. There were 6 other people in their with me and 5 were together, but several times I have went and been the only one in the entire theatre. It is great when that happens. LOL #peoplesuck
I think if more places cracked down on the cell phones, talking, and being babysitters - people would come tot he movies more.
