Every time I'm in an auditorium, I notice that the patrons tend to sit in certain areas of seating while the other areas are much less popular. There are always a couple of people who will sit right on the front row, even though that's the worst place to sit (bending your neck back all the time to look up). Small groups of people (friends or family) often go to the very end of a row of seats, right up against the auditorium wall. Also, the back row seems extremely popular with the patrons, even though it's probably got the worst sound (you can't hear the surrounds very well).
In the Vue Leeds Light, all auditoriums are 100% stadium seating; and nobody sitting in the row in front can block your view. In Vue Sheffield, (and others I've seen), the seating area seems to be divided in half! There's a front section of standard seating, where all the seats are 'flat' on the ground. Further back there are several rows of stadium seating. Like I mentioned, the "hot seats" seem to be the same regardless of the seating type.
In your cinema, unless you use allocated seat numbers, where do your patrons like to sit? Where do you like to sit when watching a movie? I myself like to sit as close to the horizontal centre of the screen as possible, and just high enough so that I get a direct line of sight to the centre of the screen without having to look up or down.
