How long will movie theaters survive?

They had a little run after Covid but they don’t make good movies like before and everytime I drive pass a movie theater, the parking lot is sparse.

They've literally run out of ideas for fresh movie plots.
Every movie is a sequel and/or some stupid and predictable sci fi movie.

Cinema in general just seems to be on a decline. It’s all superhero/run and gun stuff
What happened to films such as one flew over the cuckoos nest, green mile, rain man, silence of the lambs, etc?
Films that can genuinely be considered enduring achievements?

Good cinemas, like Alamo Drafthouse, will survive, even with the dreck being recently released.
25th of Saving Private Ryan showing? Packed with people ordering more than coke. The edge is classics, for the most part, since newer movies are dog shite.

Go to the money talk board and start a thread about shorting AMC if you want real answers.

Now that we can equal or best a theater in both video and definitely audio the theater has lost much of its appeal for us. I think even just the fact large TV's have gotten so inexpensive adds to their demise for a lot of people.

Unfortunate consequence of Hollywood killing itself on a DEI sword.

A good friend of mine is in the cinema biz. He's a fan of the quality of movies. His family has a few theaters in the DFW area. They've been struggling the past two years. Top Gun: Maverick has been the biggest hit and biggest money maker in the post-COVID era. Marvel has been nothing but flops. Something has to give to make the movie-going experience change and get it back to pre-covid era to save the theaters. They have the bowling/wall-climbing/arcade/chuck-e-cheese environment locked down in an affluent metroplex area. It's simply that nobody is going to the theater anymore.

Movie theatres and pizza chains are to me, recession and pandemic proof. Everybody loves movies and pizza

People still go. The issue isn’t that. It’s Hollywood. They make everything a stupid series. You rarely are able to find an actual movie.

Give it 10 more years and every big-budget film will be on streaming services. Social media companies like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok will have their own film production studios. Traditional film production companies like Universal Pictures and Lionsgate will all get bought out by one of the big tech companies. It’s inevitable.

Why go to the theatre when we all have affordable tvs in our houses that would have been unimaginable even 20 years ago?
As to the comments on movies in general. Kids and young people aren’t wired to enjoy a truly good movie anymore.
I have a 13 year old nephew that is a true nerd. He has never watched the Lord of the Rings movies. He can’t make it through the actual story telling at the beginning of Fellowship.
He should love those movies, but his brain isn’t wired to sit down and enjoy them.

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.

Well, between the crap movies they've been having to show and the cost of going to them, I'd say they're on life support now.
When a movie and a couple boxes of popcorn and sodas cost upwards of $50, I say let them die--------they've outpriced themselves out of the market.
