re: How long will movie theaters survive?

Used to love going to the movies.
The biggest detractor for me is dealing with other people.

People on their cell phones, talking, fighting, bringing babies or kids to movies they should never be in, and otherwise acting in such a manner that it negatively impacts the whole experience.

If people can’t act correctly, then I will wait for it to come out on a streaming service and watch it at home.

And there is no use telling some people anything - you try to correct their behavior and you’ve got an even bigger mess on your hands.
