Pandemic sped up the death of movie theaters. TV’s and Sound systems get cheaper while US movie theaters remain an uncomfortable and expensive experience. Add in the fact that streaming shows have movie budgets now and I get why the theater is unappealing.
Personally, I love going to the movies and have the regal unlimited pass but I get why others don’t. I hope that the box office survives in some way but I think theaters are going to start to shrink from the big 10-16 plex theaters in favor of 1-4 screens focusing on quality of experience and varied viewing options as well. I think the [Living Room Theater](https://pdx.livingroomtheaters.com) in Portland is a good concept as well as single screen theaters that focus on the biggest blockbuster out plus indy films and events.
