I'm usually alone when I go see a theater release these days, so if possible I'll wait till the movie is a couple of weeks old before trying to see it. Increases the odds of a reasonably quiet theater. But it's just hit or miss. Typically I just don't go much anymore unless it's something I just absolutely feel has to be experienced on the big screen.... or I'm jonesing for popcorn.
