They say that over the last couple of years, ever since streaming services have come out, that movie theaters are dying. Most people would rather stay home, turn on Netflix, and go to bed. But they say that this simple thing created to benefit entertainment is ruining a lot of business for movie theaters around the world. I mean think of it, why would anyone go see a movie, if they could just wait a few months for it to come out on a streaming service, that they can pay a monthly subscription for? Well, hopefully, I can change your mind about it.
Today most film studios are rethinking whether theatrical releases are worth it. Some think that nobody will want to go see a movie in a theater over time. Now I know I may be overstating this whole topic, and that people will still go to the theater when a movie comes out. But during the pandemic, it really crashed the movie theater market. Now I understand that the COVID-19 pandemic shut down movie theaters and made it harder to go. So not only did that delay a lot of movies coming out so people couldn't see them, but I think it made people stop caring. So I'll tell you why you should keep going to the movies.
I think Quentin Tarantino said it best. "When a movie comes out that you are interested enough to see, and it makes you want to leave your house, and buy a ticket, and you could do anything in the world you want that night. But you decide to see a film. One film in particular, and you go to see it on your own, maybe it's in the afternoon or maybe it's with a date or somebody, and you go to see it. And you sit down and you have an experience with a bunch of strangers. And at that moment, once the movie gets going, you become combined with others. And when you have a good experience, those are the things that stay in your mind and you keep with you for the rest of your life."
Obviously, I don't think that everything will change, if at all. We have seen that the box office still succeeds with releases like Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar 2. So in the end, it's up to the person, whether they will go to the movies or not. But I think going rather than waiting for a streaming service to release it, is a way better idea.
Do you think movie theaters are dying?
Would you rather go see a movie, or stay at home and watch a streaming service?

I think that movie theaters are dying. You can see a lot of new movies on streaming services now, so you don' t have to leave your house. Most of the time I would rather stay home and watch a movie then go to a movie theater.
I do think that movie theatres are dying, especially in small towns. Why go to the small town Harlan theatre, when yiu can go to the AMC in Omaha and have way better amenities? Personally, I prefer just staying home and watching movies on Netflix rather than going to the theatre.
Yeah, I like your input.
I think that movie theaters are dying because most people can watch movies or shows online. With netflix, prime video, and ect there are more movies you can see without paying 15 bucks to see one movie at the movie theater. I think that eventually movie theaters will die out.
Yeah, I can see how you would think that.
I personally think that movie theatres aren't doing as well as they were in the past but aren't dying per se, more just struggling. Like what you said about the release of Avatar 2 and Top Gun: Maverick, people are watching the mainstream and highly anticipated movies in theatres.
I think movie theaters are dying, I myself still like to go out to theaters and watch movies, but it is a little more convenient to just stay home and watch a movie on netflix or something. So it's understandable why people would, and I find myself doing that much more often than going to the movie theater.
I think that movie theater are dying but it also could depend on the place you live. I do not even remember the last time I went to the theater, I mostly just watch movies at home. But the main reason I don't go to the theater is because I can watch other things for free at home and if I get bored of that movie I can just change it, I also am very busy and don't even watch movies during the school year.
Yeah, I think you're right about people in small towns not being able to go to the movies as easily.
I think Movie Theaters are dying because of the new apps you can get sucj as netlfix, hulu, prime video, etc. Id rather go see a movie in theaters because there is popcorn and there is a gaint screen and it is very loud. also the seats are awesome too.
