During the shutdown of everything, theaters couldn't open up and let people in. Now movies are so full the theaters seem to be collapsing even more.
Cineworld is declaring bankruptcy, and AMC dropped 40% TheStreet: What Charts Say for AMC Stock After 40% Plunge.
It feels like there is a push to keep people at home, or locked in at their jobs for companies like Google or Apple.
Movie theaters don't provide anything anymore. Big screens and sound systems are relatively cheap. You can watch new movies within weeks of theater release, or sooner of you yarrr. And people have only gotten more retarded so why intentionally go somewhere that is crowded?
Counter argument, even with the rise of streaming, going and dropping 10 bucks to sit in a comfy recliner with a good friend was well worth the experience. The problem is movies have gotten horrendously bad, and theater crowds have matched the movie quality. The last memorable movie theater experience I had was American Sniper but it was well worth the expense to see in theaters.
I used to have a CineBistro around me and it was pretty great. Table service in very cushy seats and obnoxious people were either priced out or not allowed in because of alcohol service. I've definitely spoiled my movie going experience because I can't go back to the days with kids kicking seats, disgusting bare feet appearing on the armrests next to me, and loud and annoying people ruining things.
My lack of interest in anything Pedowood makes anymore means it's a lost experience on both fronts.
