I've happened to read in multiple articles that inviting someone over to watch a movie is almost always seen as an invitation to hook up (like the American phrase "Netflix & Chill") and that any other explanation will be doubted. Is this accurate or an exaggeration? If it is fairly accurate, are there ways to invite a friend or group of friends over for a movie night without other activities in the mix? (I'd imagine a group is less likely to infer other intentions, but if not, that's be a pretty wild night.) Also, I'm now living in a smaller town on the west coast in case that is a regional/Stockholm thing. Sorry for the stupid American immigrant question.

Like almost every single other thing in the world it totally depends on context.

Do you want to come to my place and watch a movie?

vs

Do you and 5 more people want to hang out and watch a movie together?

I guess today’s youth might use ”Netflix & Chill”, but older people would probably instead ask ”Do you want to go to my place for a cup of tea”.

It happens with close friends, if both people are into watching movies. Used to do it all the time with an old friend of mine. If you invite several people over, it might feel like too intimate a setting unless you know them all well.
