I hope not. I love theaters. Used to sneak in as a kid all the time and watch movie after movie. As an adult I sometimes get the temptation.
Maybe these guys will go out of business so an American can buy it up.
Maybe.
It’s a generational thing.
I have a *bunch* of nieces and nephews, millenials, who haven’t been to a movie theater since their parent took them to see animated stuff when they were kiddos.
Hubby and I haven’t been in over 10 years. We prefer to watch them in our home, with our food, sitting on our furniture. No sticky floors, vague damp spots in the chair or $10 tiny box of popcorn.
When tech for decent picture/sound was very expensive, it made sense to have things like movie theaters. Now though...
I love theatres as well. This quarantine has likely killed off my local cheapie theatre, which runs new movies near the end of their run for 1/3 the price of a regular ticket.
