According to a poll by Looper, with 575 voters participating, around 10.61% of respondents said they used their smartphone or tablet primarily to watch movies. This figure is slightly lower than the 10.96% of voters who preferred to use their computer for viewing. It’s very surprising that these two numbers are so close to each other, especially considering how many people own smartphones in the United States alone. According to a Pew Research Study in 2021, regarding 85% of Americans owned a smartphone of some kind.
Interestingly enough, 78.43% of voters said they always preferred watching movies on their TV, which makes sense considering it’s perhaps the most accessible option for families to watch together. Cramming around a smartphone or computer just doesn’t seem very feasible when a TV is usually bigger and has better speakers than either option. Still, one would expect smartphones to at least score higher than computers, but perhaps the small screen is just too much for many moviegoers.
