They say the two businesses that do well during a depression are theaters and casinos.

By late last week, more than 26,000 employees working for AMC Theatres were furloughed or let go as the circuit shuttered amid the coronavirus pandemic.

On Wednesday, the largest cinema chain in the U.S. and the world, went even further, furloughing all of its 600 corporate employees — including CEO Adam Aron. The drastic furlough plan, a result of no income but fixed costs, means a person could work anywhere from zero days to two days to four.

"At this time, AMC is not terminating any of its corporate employees, however, we were forced under the circumstances to implement a furlough plan, which is absolutely necessary to preserve cash and to ensure that AMC can reopen our doors once this health crisis has dissipated," the company said in a statement.

Y'all said theaters would be alright.

why would people pay when they can download an hour later ? theater is an experience
The average person does not bother with downloading. Which is why music subscription streaming services took off. I still do it but for movies I want to see them in the best quality and sometimes would rather pay than risk isp letter or buy a VPN etc

TBH I have been with Xfinity for damn near 15 years now and have downloaded torrents of Movies, shows, fights, 360 games and PC games the regular ass way thru uTorrent, no ISP and never hid anything. Probably over 10,000 in media EASILY.

I have never got a single letter or email about piracy :yeshrug:
