And theaters are still closing left and right because there is no price point that can draw the crowds they once had. Tickets are too expensive, and concessions are too expensive on top of that. The business is just not sustainable any longer.
For years and years they convinced us we need bigger, better TVs with surround sound and all the add-ons. That every person should build their own home theatre

Yeah my big flatscreen in my tiny TV room takes up most of my field of vision from the couch. The difference in quality is almost negligible, but I can pause to grab food, rewind if I missed something, and there’s no one else there on their phone or just making noise.
I’ll see a movie in the theater every once in a while if it’s like a grand spectacle, but most movies are just fine at home, if not better.

The people in the video media industry…
I thought that would have been obvious.
