The AMC theater chain has announced a $600 million plan to install plush recliners in their theaters in hopes of luring us out of our living rooms and away from Netflix. They’ll remove up to 70 traditional seats in each theatre to make way for fewer fully reclining Lay-Z-Boys in about 1,800 auditoriums.  Apparently attendance has soared by 80 percent in the 37 AMC theaters which have already been reseated. Do you think the novelty will wear off?
