I love Alamo drafthouse and it’s pretty much the only theater that my wife and I goto when we see a movie. Hopefully this doesn’t result in the experience becoming shit.
My wife and I frequented Alamo before COVID. It was already going to shit. Fewer food options. Worse food. Worse/slower service (due to staffing). Pushing subscriptions (Victory Pass). Less creative no talking/texting warning cards.
My bet is that Alamo slowly becomes something like what happens to Moviehouse and Eatery (Texas theater chain) after Cinepolis (my guess on the LATAM buyer; they're based out of Mexico) took it over: AMC, but quirkier.
I don't particularly like the food but I recently had a Diet Coke there. Almost $9 ($8.60) before tip. I like the theater but that was shocking and made me feel like I'm a sucker for ordering.
