Movie theaters were in trouble long before the pandemic hit.
Times change, paying over $50 in tickets, paying for overpriced popcorn, sodas, candy, etc... the typical family scenario and you are looking at close to $100
Vs sitting at home on the couch, eating popcorn and drinking sodas for the $8 price of admission to the Amazon Prime, Apple or even free on Netflix, Hulu or others in a few month's time..
I for one will miss the theater experience but I am not one bit surprised. Times change, people change. Big screen tv and on demand streaming at home has become the new family theater experience.
Buying physical media such as DVD and BluRay? The DVD sales dropped
86% in 13 years due to the streaming platforms.
DVD players will soon start to resemble rotary phones on the kitchen wall. Has anyone seen those lately?
