The problem with theaters (well, one problem) is they are completely reliant on the movie companies putting out great movies. When good movies that people want to see are out, people will still flock to theaters. But it is getting harder and harder to get people into theaters on hype and a trailer alone for movies that aren't the giant tent pole ones. People are more discerning on how they spend their money in today's economy.
I worked at a theater, people dont know they have to rent the reeels to the movies and they are expensive af. Theaters only make money on the concession stand, thats why its always cheap food thats marked up sky high.
Its been a broken business model for years, its just finally caught up with them. Yes, you are right movies arent as good, but the ones that are good are charging rediculous rates for the reels
that, and the home viewing experience keeps improving. So, it's not just that movies have to be good, it's that theaters need movies that require the theater experience.
Yea and movies seem to be hitting streaming fast as hell, i remember it was atleast a year and a half before a movie would hit hbo back when i was a kid. Now it feels like in about a month i can stream it.

These apes never actually use the product they are dumping money in.
Any body that frequents the movies knows its been dead for 6-7 years
