WTF are you talking about? WTF is"eat their (my own?) dog food"?

Looks like not enough caffeine:

"industry executves" should be forced --as you were-- to eat their own
dog food and attend more showings at their local overpriced Cineplex.

"eating your own dog food" is a when pointy-haired bosses are compelled
to sample their own products (or policies, if all they are doing is
making decisions for production staff) to see how they taste.

In this case, they might not be aware of how disrespectful the modern
cineplex experience is to the paying customer

I wasn't forced to do anything.The movie going experience has been an
unpleasant for me for years. I don't like to hear people talking and
eating while I watch a movie, and I like them to start on time.
Fortunately I have an very low priced (about 80 cents poermovie)
option that allows me to forego all that. That's why I chose to join
my guild's film society and just see whatever they are showing each
month since. I don't go to public theaters but for a few times a year
when my guild membership afford me the privelege of seeing almost
anything almost anywhere for the months of December and january. And
I vote conscientiously on the awards as my end of the deal.

But while your complaint might be just, its target isn't. Industry
executives in the film business aren't much more responsible for the
experience at theaters than TV execs are responsible for how
comfortable or uncomfortable your living room is when you watch their
shows. Those long lines mean they're making money, and the showing of
trailers for their upcoming films is all part of the package.
Everything else is the domain of the theater chains pretty much.
Industry executives have little to do with it,if by industry
executives you mean studio heads, development people, etc.

By the way, it wasn't a caffeine problem. I just missed the "industry
executive" part of your post: perhaps because it wasn't there? I'm
not pone to poijt fingers when it comes ot buthered or omitted words
in posts as I exzscel in that are myself, but it's pretty hard to
discern what you meant without those two key words. My apologies.
