Movies are the perfect pass-time, whether it be for a date, a girl’s/boy’s night out, or a much needed break from living a hectic life. The issue with movies however is that unless you see the trailer on Twitter or Instagram, most people don’t know what movies are in theaters. This is the issue due to people relying on Netflix or Hulu for their television rather than their old television set.
