With the state of the world at the moment, there is a lot of mystery surrounding what the world's new normal is going to look like. What businesses will make it, what ones won't. One that looks poised to go under and likely not survive is your local movie theater. You see, in a world of streaming, direct to home releases priced like a theater ticket, and the possibility of large scale gatherings being put off for longer yet - it's not looking good. Will movie theaters survive the pandemic? Well, let's talk about it.

Endgame was so special to me and probably the most important movie I will ever see. It watermarks a pretty fun time in my life.

My favorite movie theater already went out of business years ago. It was an old theater that sold tockets for only 3 bucks, the downside is they showed movies that were already out of theaters. It was still fun to go to though, sadly not enough people were interested and it got shut down. It was honestly one of the best theaters I went to too, great food definitely worth theater price and great cushioned seats, something the big theater here in town could really use

I worked at a movie theater through my highschool years, with literally every single one of my friends. It's was such a great job, and I look back on it with incredibly fond memories. I wish I'd known I was making memories back then. They have been closed for the virus, and I just found out from my old boss that everybody was let go, so I don't think it will ever open back up again. It went out very sadly. RIP Carmike Cinema 12

@eginteractive 3 жыл бұрын

In my opinion it's purely because of economics. Cinemas have done this to themselves. I'm not talking about small local ones which have maybe 3 different movies (the ticket prices on smaller cinemas are normally lower than megaplex ones). I actually feel bad for small cinemas because they're always run by people who truly love movies and want to share the experience, I'm talking about the corporate megaplex. They raped their customers with ticket prices and concessions for years and years, and COVID finally gave people the nudge they needed to say "enough is enough."

two things: First, my local theater converted into an entertainment complex. They finished the transition less than a year ago. They added an arcade, a bowling ally, a laser tag arena, a mini food court, and has 10 screens. It's wild. I bet that people's desperation to go out and do things when the pandemic is over that it might be enough to keep them afloat. Second: What about drive-in theaters instead of stadiums? I think they'd be very profitable in the early days of reopening. Stay in your own car, roll down the windows, bring your own snacks. It sounds like a pretty good deal!

@treblandford4117 Жыл бұрын

Yeah but considering that movie theaters make the bulk of their money from selling concessions and idk if that’s necessarily the best deal for them. A good portion of the percent of ticket sales from movies usually go to the production company who made the movie like Disney or whatever. They really rack in the money when it comes to selling people concessions cause things like soda and popcorn cost little to nothing to make , but can be resold for several thousand percent markup allowing the theater to churn in some real money. That’s probably why you don’t see many drive in theaters anymore. Hard profitability. Not saying the ones that survived aren’t awesome. Just that the business model isn’t made to last unless improvements are made cause just selling tickets ain’t doing it I bet.

Checks for Outside Food increased and in the same time, prices for snacks increased by several 100%..... Also the cleaning and smell got worse over the time. So now instead of making some money from me, they make now 0. And that happened long before Covid.

Stadium sized movie watching experience? Barf!! I love going to the theater, but trust me, its not about the crowd, its not about the energy in the room. Its about the great sound and visuals compared to my setup at home, allowing me to immerse myself in the story. Anytime someone cheers or boos at a scene, that fouls the experience for me. My local theater lets you rent out a room and have up to 20 people to watch a movie. When you break the cost down among those 20 people, its basically the cost of everyone getting a ticket, but you reduce the number of people in the room by about 70%. I will take few people over a stadium of them any day of the week.

I just thought about that, since a drive in theater near work recently reopened and then shut down because of the virus. But in the short amunt of time they were open they seemed to always be full from what I could see. And I think that having people watch it in their cars would have let be safe enough to not worry about quarantine. But oh well. However it gave me a thought: A drive in parking lot with an overhang coming off the (massive) screen that then stretches out to the ends of the dividers between other movie's parking spaces. Then theoretically everyone buys their tickets and then on the movie theater's app you can then find the time, parking space, and the audio. you go and get parked, you get popcorn, you get the audio on the app ready and synced to you car's stereo. (or ask for a radio or something that will give out the quality sound you prefer). Then the overhang, like the drapes used now, slowly lift off the screen as the rest of it lowers to the back. so there is now a roof that goes from the top of the screen to the ground level right behind where the cars are parked. Something like that. And then the lights are dim and the audio on the app starts a synced countdown with all the other cars, so once that countdown ends, the screen turns on and the audio starts playing, and you are watching a movie. Maybe there could be advanced way to make several levels like a stadium full of cars. But that might be too much. But it would be an interesting experience.
