No thats a giant ass L...there has never, and will never be a better place to view a movie. I dont care how big your tv is, and how good your audio system is. Viewing a movie at the theater is untouchable in terms of the experience.I only feel sorry for the workers but if this forces movie companies to do direct streaming of their latest movies it’s a W.

I remember going to dollar theaters, it's time for them to make a return.
If libraries are able to absorb theaters it's a win-win for everybody.
Libraries are our greatest institutions and I think having them takeover the theater industry would
go a long way in bolstering them.
We have a lot of outdated suburbs and empty big box stores, dying malls.
The public library/theater could be just what we need to retrofit and re-orient them.
The best of all worlds. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Discount theaters still exist but they're ghetto and make no sense in this era. They get movies when they're already available to rent on digitalI remember going to dollar theaters, it's time for them to make a return.

Yup can see us going right back to the days of studios owning theaters
This is sad. I like the experience of watching a movie at the theater.
I can see piracy killing the movie industry if they start streaming new movies.

I don't buy it. It didn't kill the music industry. Just need to figure out a model.
I cherish theaters though they are my sanctuary

Pretend their are six worthy movies to go see at the theater in one month.Checking your phone like "I went to 6 movies this month, made my money back 5 times over already and I got $20 in rewards"

AMC had a good run. Theaters had a great run. It's a new world now.

I'm talking about where things are headed in the future. Artemis Fowl is going direct to Disney+. $125M budget.
The Irishman saw a home release before going to select theaters. No pandemic.
If you're someone that savors seeing movies in theaters, you might have to wait. That's all.
And it might be in city run, dollar theaters, which I never found ghetto. It always felt like a steal.
All I'm doing is re-imagining them. They don't have to be run down, but they will be few.
Or you can continue to ignore the largest theater chain in the world being on the ropes.
