I used to work in the movie business and still know a lot of folks that do. Just for your own peace of mind, movie theaters were dying before Covid. All of this is a result of corporate greed by studio executives. They started removing funding to theaters because there was overhead to their upkeep and once Covid happened, they discovered a way to streamline their revenue through streaming which has literally no expense to them.
Their greed is permeating Hollywood. Aside from the strikes over AI, the studios opted to not bring productions back to the US in order to hurt those that participated in the strikes. Most US workers are losing their homes, livelihoods, and some are losing their lives over this. My best friend has been in Thailand working on a show for 9 months because it’s cheaper for the studio to film there.
I don’t know what’s going to happen but the greed that is emanating from studio execs seems to be killing the movie and tv business.
I couldn’t agree with you more I miss the movies and also went solo a few times and it was great! I’ve been to the theatre 2 times since the P. I miss it! When my kids were young it was our New Year’s Eve tradition to go.
I used to love going to the movies alone when I was single - didn’t have to convince anyone to see an indie film, or coordinate schedules. It was perfection.
