What do we look for, when we take a girl (or a guy) to a movie? The same thing as when we take them to a restaurant, I guess (or to bed): shared pleasure. I don’t know of any industry statistics about the percentage of the audience made up by courting couples, but we all know a trip to the movies is one of the most popular dating choices, and has been ever since the cinema opened its darkened doors.
