If you live in a small town like I do (population 2400) and the 
theatre doesn't get movies until 3 weeks after their opening; the 
sound sucks; every kid in town knows you 'cause you are their high 
school librarian; cell pnones ring; people yak; the concession sounds 
overpower the sucky cinema sound;  you still count yourself lucky 
cause you used to have to drive an hour to see ANY movie! 
I was fortunate to be in a large centre to see GoF at an IMAX, but 
that will be a rarity for me.  Despite it all there are lots of movies 
I want to see on a BIG screen (Narnia is now playing until Wednesday) 
and so I put up with the small town shenanigans 'cause if I don't the 
Theatre will go out of business and gas has become too expensive to 
contemplate driving an hour to see a movie.
