One thought on “At movie industry convention, leaders say blockbusters alone aren’t enough

  1. Until theaters are willing to take pride in the product they deliver, enforce theater etiquette, and not let their theater rooms fall into disrepair, torn leather seats, spilled drinks that dry up, and popcorn and litter in every crevice, I think most people are going to wait for home video or streaming

    They will make exceptions for the biggest of big films, and will likely pay the premium for theaters that take pride in their work. But there’s no reason to pay $12-20 for a ticket in a dirty theater when you can pay a month of Disney Plus for $10-20 and watch in the comfort of your home.
