User Story Table Update 1

Now that you dove deeper in the context of going to the cinema by executing the task analysis, new important user stories might have popped up. You might also have found out that some of the previously stated user stories turn out to be irrelevant, or that some user stories should be rewritten to make them more relevant or more clear. Update your user story table and present the updated version here. Explain which changes you made and explain why you made these changes.
