Miss a movie or miss OUT ON a movie
Is it "to miss a movie/an event/etc" or "to miss out on a movie/event/etc"?
If both are possible, do they mean the same thing?
If so, which would you use?
Also, does an actor do or make a movie? What about "perform"?
Thank you.

To miss out on something means to not see, enjoy, etc, something. I believe both are correct but "to miss a movie/an event/etc" sounds better. They pretty much mean the same thing.

0"Miss out on" means that there was a wonderful, incredible opportunity that was perhaps once in a lifetime.
Because I was sick, I missed out on my parent's silver wedding anniversary party.
I missed out on my best friend's wedding. I had final exams that week. Bummer!
