Would love to stay there sometime but I'm too poor. $600+ a night seems outrageous and a 2 night minimum on weekends. That's like a small fortune just for a hotel room.

Adult dramas like this just don't seem to be relevant to the under 40 crowd. A lot of people in the younger generations have TikTok brains now and want fast and snappy engrossing entertainment that push new boundaries and that are more culturally relevant. A talky drama just doesn't have universal appeal anymore. Also for Spielberg in particular, I think he has been slowly falling out of relevancy since he released Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. That was like a turning point in his late career and his movies have not brought in as much money as they did before that point. I really do believe that The Fabelmans is his best work since the early/mid 2000s so it's a shame a lot of people aren't see it. Hopefully it gets a big awards season push because this is going to be a frontrunner.

It's playing in about 9 theaters total in the greater Seattle area (about a 30 mile radius). This is less than half of all theaters in the region I would say. Almost all that are showing it are megaplex style cinemas. The smaller artsy theaters aren't showing it.

Munich (IMO) was his last truly great film. The Fabelmans is definitely his best work since then.

What are you talking about? Nothing good in the last two decades, since 2002?? Catch me if you Can? Minority Report? Munich? Lincoln? Bridge of Spies? West Side Story? All of these range from good to great! Sure there have been a few others in this time period that were more meh, but still adequate films for the most part. And now we have The Fabelmans which is by far his best since Munich which I think was his last truly great film.

I don't think so. It was pretty cloudy/stormy most of today in western WA.
