I'm not talking quality or types of films, I am talking the actual event of going out to see a picture at a cinema.
Yes, Covid hit this industry hard but it has been hit harder than others because now movies are opening in your living room the same day they open in a cinema. It looks like our botched handling of the pandemic combined with allowing people to see a movie opening day at home has now put the screws to the theater business in a big way.
So, what is your take on this?
Do you still want to be able to go to a cinema to see a film?
Do you like the idea of never going again and watching everything at home?
How do you think this will impact how and what pictures get made?
Do you think budgets for motion pictures will plummet?
Will you miss the cinema experience?
Does it bother you that everything now will be TV?
The truth is the movie industry is at a crossroads and they are trying to sort out which way to go. Chances are there will be far fewer movie theaters and so if you go you probably will have to travel further to get to one.
What do you think should or might happen?
What do you hope happens?
