I would say it depends. I prefer to watch newly released movies at home as it's much more convenient, and there's no need to go out since I'm an introvert. I don't like going to the cinema or other places that offer films. However, sometimes I use the cinema as a place to spend my weekends with friends, watching horror movies to enjoy the moment and forget about my problems.
