Depends on the type of theatre and type of movie.
- For old style theatres, as far back as possible.
- For stadium-style theatres, absolute middle.
- For 3D movies in a stadium-style theatre, middle more towards the back.
Of course, my
local theatre has "VIP seating" for some movies. They have an upstairs balcony with wide leather recliners, ****tails and food for an extra $4. It's only available on 4 of the screens, though, so only usually new releases, but if that's available that's always what I do.
