  As someone said the business model for theaters depends allot on people spending money on concessions and ticket sales. By adding an intermission to more movies, you effectively decrease ticket sales and the amount of customers daily. For example, let's say on average 20 people watch a movie and that movie runs around 6 times a day. Thats 120 people spending around $10-30 each. By adding an intermission, the movie will have to be run only 3-4 times a day alsmot cutting profits in half. That's ticket sales lost and less people buying concessions.
  I agree that an intermission would be nice, but capitalism has it wocked ways
context: Theaters only make real money on concessions. 
  At this point I think movies need bars and more to survive. An intermission would be a killer opportunity to make a second round of concessions money.  Fully support this idea. 
  Movies are a commercial product.  Building them around things that benefit theaters, will benefit them in the long run. >
  
  Considering a movie that's twice as long gets half as many opportunities to upsell concessions, they really should bring intermissions back. >
  
  International movies do have an intermission in the middle, it is helpful to get up and stretch after almost 2 hours, then sit and watch the other 1.5 hours in a movie >
  
  In Malta we have intermission in the middle of movies for about 10 minutes. >
  
  You guys drink in your theaters? >
  
  Alcohol? No. >
  
  In the Netherlands, most if not all movies have intermissions. Our concession area is also kind of walk through, you pick what you want and before entering the “theatre” area you pay for your snacks. Kind of like a buffet. 
  And yea, they sell alcohol too. >
  
  They did like 60 years ago. Your DVD copy of Lawrence of Arabia has a 10 minute intermission. 
  It was more a feature of long epic movies and it kinda died out after Jaws introduced blockbusters and multiplex theatres became very popular. >
  
  hard disagree. when im watching a movie i want to be fully immersed the whole time.
  an intermission would take me straight out of the film and ruin the second half >
  
  intermissions should definitely be optional. >
  
  When I saw Titanic in theaters we had an intermission. Avatar 2 should have had an intermission, people were getting up and stretching in my theater because it was so long. >
  
  Movies need to go back to being a tight 90 minutes of good story and entertainment. >
  
  Go back to the 50s > >
  
  Nah people need tp work on their attention spans. Watching videos on 15 second bits can fuck your brain overtime >
  
  you realize even before computers existed people still had intermissions for the theater, right?  Because humans have bodily functions that need to be attended to occasionally?
  I agree that phones have broken our brains, but, intermissionz were related to entertainment length like... 2500 years ago. >
  
  We still have intermissions halfway through movies here (Iceland).
  One of the movie theatres in Reykjavík even offers beer and wine for sale for people in their premium auditorium.
