But movie theatres are no longer the only way to enjoy the latest films.
That’s what it offered before, if a movie was coming out, you had no choice to either go to theatre or wait like a few years until you could rent or buy the VHS/DVD.
Theatres need to offer something else now. IMO their best chance is to become “the third place” for teenagers. They can have free hang out areas with affordable snacks that you can also see a movie there later.
But we all know they won’t cause their main motive is money.
And yeah, if you only care about money, there isn’t much to be made anymore for offering a big screen in this digital world.
