Movie, microwave popcorn, a 2 litre of cola and a chance to flirt with 16 year high school girl working at the counter. For many this is living it up and going out on the town.

But yes, on weekends (including Fridays), the rental places get major business. People stop by on their way home or while they're out anyway and a lot of them are turning towards the rental places more and more now that they have decent HT setups and the cost and experience of movies in the theater isn't what it once was.
