All of the movie theaters I've been to in the United States have "general seating," which means one buys a ticket, walks in, and picks a seat.

In most cases, this means having to get there 15-20 minutes early to get a decent seat. On opening day, it might mean getting there 3-4 hours early to get tickets, let alone a seat.
