cinemagoing

Watching films theatrically

Cinemagoing is the activity or habit of attending movie theaters to watch films.

The term is more common in British English than American English, where moviegoing is preferred.

A cinemagoer is someone who regularly goes to the cinema.

Cinemagoing has declined since the rise of streaming services.
