Not surprising. I drove by a Regal today actually for an appointment and I saw two cars in the parking lot on a Friday evening. Movie industry needs to shift it's business model... I probably spent over $100 renting Trolls 2 for my kids during the pandemic but the only movie we've ever seen as a family is Frozen 2.Regal Theaters closing is nutty....AMC next? Movie industry is up for massive shifts...
AMC was rumored a few months back to be trying to strike some sort of deal with Amazon. The biggest issue is that all the major studios saw what happened to Tenet when it hit theaters a month or so back and had abysmal numbers. They all pushed back their major movies to next year (for now). I personally hope movie theaters don’t go out of business. I still prefer going to a theater to see a big movie release over watching at home.Regal Theaters closing is nutty....AMC next? Movie industry is up for massive shifts...

If I tell you the last time I went to see a movie at a movie theater, you will think I'm a hermit.
Me: 1993, first Jurassic Park

Last movie I saw in a theater was Midway. Wish I waited to stream it.
oh come on on......if you didn’t at least enjoy the plentiful battle scenes in Midway on the big screen with booming sound like I did......that theater you went to blew lol.
now....if you say you didn’t like the movie and wished you had saved the $, I get that.
I found Midway entertaining myself.
Has this been a conscious decision or just has nothing struck your fancy?
The battle scenes were great but the acting performances were annoying. Especially the guy that played Best and the Jonas brother trying to be tough.
Just not into movies. Even on cable/streaming services I watch maybe 1 or 2 a year. Of course there are movies that I like, but in general, not really my thing.
Ad Astra I think was the last movie I saw in the theater.
Got me pondering the first movie I went to and it was either Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla or Star Wars in '77.
Interstellar for sure head to head in the smart SYFY genre between those two.....but Ad Astra was still entertaining....
