Vulture:
There’s a reason we wait in line outside the theater for big movie releases: because where you sit matters. A prime, central location will not only ensure the most direct view and best surround experience, it will also save your neck and keep you out of the path of mid-movie bathroomgoers. But what’s the best spot to plant your flag when those doors swing open?
About two thirds of the way back, as close to the center as possible.
At 6’3″, I generally sit on the aisle for legroom but I’m going to try this “trick” next time I go to a theater.
Since you are 6’3″, make sure to wear a stovepipe hat too.
I’m finding it hard not to post some snarky comment about common sense.
In related news, water is wet.
At a general admission concert, sit right in front of the sound board.
Good advice. Of course, not very many concerts are held in a movie theater.
