No surprise.

Thinking Covid would have killed theaters off was funny

People want to get out

I don’t know how theatres are surviving at all. These movies being released now are awful. I only go to see the “classics” showing

I like some movies in the theater, shows like any James Bond movies, mission impossible movies and Star Wars, the lord of the rings trilogy. Others I just wait till it comes to cable. Oh anything ww2 type movies too, and I like the popcorn

Haven't been to a movie since the last Star Wars movie. They just haven't made anything original worth seeing in years.

Nothing worth paying real money to see.

I will rent from Redbox when they send me a discount-code. About one dollar, the real worth of the nonsense coming out of Hollywood.

Forget Covid.

How has theater attendance trended over that last 10 years or so?

I've been to the movies twice in the last month, and the theater was virtually empty, at the used-to-be most popular showing around 7 p.m.

Theater attendance peaked in 2002 and has been declining ever since.
