Pretty sure it was IT: Chapter Two. When Covid really started ramping up, there had been a few movies I was interested in catching at the theater, but it obviously never happened.

Michael Corvin

Damn. That will be a year ago in two weeks. That's a long time.

DJariya

That came out September 2019. So you haven’t seen a theatrical movie in 11 months. That was way before anything happened. Covid didn’t start getting on the news radar until last winter and didn’t hit the U.S. until Spring.

The Invisible Man

Josh-da-man

Solo: A Star Wars Story

...and it might be the last movie I ever see in a theater.

EdTheRipper

I'm aware of the timeline of Covid. I hadn't been to the movies for a while prior to that. The timing never really worked out for me, and there wasn't much interest in any movies that were out. I'd intended to see The Invisible Man shortly after it was released, but shit hit the fan and it wasn't meant to be.

1917 with my wife. My son and I saw Sonic the Hedgehog the night before, which is the last one he has been to see.

I have often wondered these last six months what would have happened if pandemic concerns set in a week before a movie like Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker or Avengers: Endgame was due for release. I think that would have been very hard for people to handle.

Yeah, there are great movies we were all looking forward to this year like Tenet, Top Gun: Maverick,and No Time to Die, but I think these are peanuts compared to what I mentioned, in terms of how may people shiver with anticip--

Fast & Furious 9 would have been huge. (Hobbes & Shaw did $750 worldwide and Fate of the Furious did $1.2b).

The Way Back

I had a seat reserved to see the Hunt the day that the theaters closed.

Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn back in February.

Nesbit

Onward

"The Gentlemen". And I was supposed to go see "The Invisible Man" in it's second or third weekend (I can't remember). But my friend started getting freaked out about going to a movie theater because shit started getting real, and fast. And all cinemas closed that same week. It was all so surreal.

John Galt

Impractical Jokers

Rise of Skywalker for me too. I saw it opening day, but then my kids and I got very sick over the holidays. I finally took them to see it in late January. And the only other people in the theater were a kid and his dad.

We also all went to Disneyland twice in mid February. The virus was definitely on the horizon already and I was slightly hesitant, but I didn’t know it would be like this! But I had it in the back of my mind. Disneyland has been the vector for various outbreaks of measles over the years. So it’s always on my mind.

It was The Invisible Man for me as well.

kenbuzz

Gosh.... it was back when MoviePass was still working. I think it was Tag, though it might have been Annihilation, A Quiet Place, Isle Of Dogs, Star Wars:Salo, Greatest Showman, Black Panther, or anything else marginally interesting enough to see for free two years ago.

The Bus

Last movie I paid for: Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Last movie screening seen theatrically: Onward

I do hope AT&T is smart and re-releases Tenet in theaters next year (or 2022) when it’s safe again.

Alan Smithee

Uncut Gems, scope letterboxed on a 1.85 screen with no masking, and house lights never going fully down. I have no desire to go back to a theater after that.

DWilson

I was going to see "The Hunt" and then "Bloodshot" the following week, but my movie-going pal got squeamish and wanted to wait a week to see what the theaters were going to do. That "week" has been six months.

TomOpus

Yeah, because every theater does that.

DJariya

Okay, if you haven't been to the movies in well over a year or longer, you probably don't fit the criteria of this thread. I assume this thread is for more than just an extremely casual movie-goer and someone who actually saw something within 6 months before Covid shut theatres down.

Went to Knives Out in March. I think it was like right before COVID was starting to be seen as a threat.

Technically I’ve seen one other movie in theaters since COVID, but it wasn’t a typical experience. My girlfriend and I went to Wonder Woman in July. We were the only two there. The theater is back to closed as attendance wasn’t high enough to stay open. Also went to my first drive-in theater a couple weeks ago and saw Beetlejuice.

I can rattle off all the films I’ve seen in theaters this year.

January:
Little Women
Gretel and Hansel

February:
Birds of Prey
Sonic the Hedgehog

March:
Knives Out

July:
Wonder Woman

August:
Beetlejuice

Years ago I remember going to see "The Forgotten" (a Julianne Moore SF movie) and either it was mis-projected and/or not masked, and you could see boom mikes and equipment throughout most of the film. I should have complained but I didn't.
I also remember, -back in the days long before digital projection, -seeing a film in an older "Second Run" house, where every other reel of the film was out-of-focus. I complained but I was the only one in the theater so they just didn't care.

Dan

The Hunt. There were like 2 or 3 other people there.
