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.
I'd say that this is a sink or swim moment for cinemas, the ones that rely primarily on big Hollywood films to bring people in so they can make money off of the food and drink are going to sink.
Those that can adapt and change (offer the ability to rent out screens or entire theatres for a day, have a playlist of old classics or even do a bunch of school or preschool screening of safe for kid content) will survive and probably be more like the community cinema everyone likes to hang out at once a week.
