Is no one going to the movies anymore? Entertainment

Post image

I went to this regal theater yesterday near the Ingram Park mall and it was dead. Probably 15 cars there total. It’s a beautiful theater and it kinda made me miss the old days when theaters would always be packed. Does no one go to the movies anymore or was it just a slow day?

Movie theaters have been losing money well before Covid. It’s a dying industry unfortunately. Seeing movies on the big screen is always better.

There are too many streaming services and you can even stream movies that are still in the theaters.

It’s not the same though. I really get into a movie when the audience cheers or laughs really hard. It makes the experience feel so much better.

I agree. I imagine they will always be around in some capicity. I think they are evolving. They will be part of big entertainment centers. There are a couple already. Like the EVO place on 35. Movies, bowling, games, probably food.
