This is true.
Hey at least according to reddit, both sides are now protesting Hollywood. Maybe we will start getting good movies again

Yeah growing up in the 70s 80s and 90s was awesome, especially all the great movies to see. Now, I rarely take my daughter out to see a movie because there are so few nowadays actually worth spending the money or time to go see in the theater. And even though the movie may end up being awful (like Moana 2) but I still enjoy the nostalgia of going to the theater smelling the popcorn in the lobby.

Matt Damon on why movies suck
There will be sporadic blockbusters here and there, but the Golden Age of movies is definitely in the rear view mirror. This short clip sums it up beautifully.

I do think if movie theaters could re-release old favorites they could make some secondary bank to stay afloat. It might be wildly popular.
I'm sure there would be hurdles to overcome to make that happen...but I would totally go back to the theater to watch some of my favorite movies on the big screen again.

now that digital projection is commonplace, i think it would be far more financially feasible for smaller theaters to run classic films regularly

The Good the Bad and the Ugly on the big screen might get me to visit a theater.
Got to think those visuals would be even more impressive in the environment they were made for.

Video games also have a major impact. That industry dwarfs the movie industry in terms of revenue. And has way more interest among young people.
One of my favorite movies growing up was Star Wars. Another was Conan. And then Robocop, and ....
As you can see, I like action, and sci-fi/fantasy. Those were movies that let me watch action in those genres.
Game technology is getting more and more realistic, and you don't just watch the action, you're the protagonist. And it's not just dumbed-down action anymore... I would say one of the best sci-fi stories in the past couple decades was the Mass Effect series, and I mean the games, not some spinoff books.
Movies are probably superior to games when you want to bring a book to life, but then I'd honestly suggest that a TV series (given the right budget) beats movies; producers just don't get the financial rewards they get from movies.

This is true. It’s also a shame because storytelling in video games has suffered more than movies lately, imo. It’s all mindless battle royales or Call of Duty 27: Remastered. The single player campaign is an afterthought for most games now.

It's actually not. There is a massive, massive indie video game market with no shortage of unique writing and premises. The best and most innovative writing occurring right now is in the video game space. But even AAA titles have raised the bar. If you're only looking at mindless run-and-gun shooters, you're missing the other 95% of the industry.

Cinema died when streaming services were introduced

Sad - we watch movies at home all the time - old movies - and I asked her to go to the movies a few days ago and she said “I just don’t like going to a movie theater”
Tarantino was in Rogan a few months ago and he was talking about this - I predict that within 12-15 months movies will come back - the studios will find a profitable way to get people back to the theatres - seems like a lot of industries that would benefit from this
But until then seems like a part of Americana has died at least for the moment

I disagree. The explosion of legitimate competition didn’t occur until around 10 years ago when podcasts and streaming services were introduced. Before that, traditional mid-budget blockbuster movies were doing just fine and existed in harmony along with video games.

People just don't go to the movies anymore. Its not an important thing to most people anymore. And streaming has killed theaters. It's not anymore complicated than that.
I like movies and enjoy going to the theater to see them. The movies just aren’t very good anymore. It’s as simple as that.

Naah.. once all of the Diddy Epstein shite comes out and washes out the legacy Hollywood filth... it will bring in an entire new breed of actors that won’t been sick liberal woke minded talent
I also feel like we are going to have an explosion of unbelievable comedies making a huge comeback
Not to mention, the majority of new production is coming from Atlanta (not Hollywood) where Atlanta is not woke like Hollywood.
I’m feeling pretty good about what’s in store for us entertainment wise with TV and movies
