Cinema is Back

Going to the movies has been a large part of American culture as a whole, but specifically teenage culture. It’s worth emphasizing the raw emotion often evoked by the screen. When real life doesn’t understand teens, movies do. So it’s not that surprising that the two often go as a pair.

Movie theaters have experienced their highest attendance levels since pre-pandemic days. The domestic box office is set to top at $10 billion, and ticket sales are at their highest levels since 2019.

Thriving independent theaters are scattered around the Pittsburgh area, each offering a unique and memorable experience. From The Strand Theater in Zelienople and Row House Cinemas in Lawrenceville and Dormont to The Lindsay Theater in Sewickley, The Manor in Squirrel Hill, and Dependable Drive-In in Moon, there’s a movie theater for everyone.
