No one goes. Can't keep a business open that is in the red.
People will complain only one movie theater is left in the Bronx. But are they going, giving them business? Most likely no.

flat screens and sound bars?

All I can say is that Sade Baderinwa is still looking great decades after I first saw her on television!
To the subject at hand, this is just another reason why the Bronx is viewed as it is. It's not the movie theater, alone, and many people don't even go to the theaters anymore. But this is just another symptom of the problems that plague the Bronx, problems that gentrification aren't fixing. For a borough of that size, this is actually pretty alarming. I recall feeling the same way when I lived in New Orleans, when there was no modern movie theater within city limits. If I had to guess why, it was because of the crime in the city and theater owners not wanting to deal with the mess; we had to travel to Metairie to go to the theater.
It began with television then came other tech advances such as VCR, cable, satellite, DVR, streaming and the rest. This coupled with more and more devices people can watch films on besides televisions such as phones, etc...
For decades now people have set up media centers at home. High quality television or monitor, sound system, etc... and you've got nearly everything a movie theatre has but none of the negatives.
Simply put the bull is out of the barn, and isn't going back in, period.
Now and then you have a blockbuster film that draws people in; otherwise they don't bother and wait until can watch at home.
Movie studios have known this for ages. First it was rubbish that they put out which went nearly straight to VCR or onto cable, etc... Now you have content being created especially for or directly to streaming.
On other side of things has anyone actually priced going to a movie nowadays? Hint, it isn't the cheap date or time out with family it once was.
