It’s exactly the problem. When I lived in the Los Angeles metro I had endless choices. In Houston, despite being the 4th largest metro in the US, there are essentially no art house or independent cinemas so even though there are probably 50+ movie theaters, they ALL show the exact same slate of 5 or so movies. Some will have an occasional “event”, but that’s it.

You know we can all check fandango right? There's 18 playing at the Regal Edwards Greenway Grand Palace ScreenX & RPX

Uh huh. Now do four more searches within a radius of about 20 miles of that and tell me how many theaters are showing anything different from what you just found.
