Warner Brothers pushing all 2021 movies to HBO Max and Theaters Same day in 2021

Movie theaters have been struggling for decades now and the only way they can mask that is by inflating ticket prices more than double than inflation. It gave rise to over budget films to get people into cinemas spending millions in Advertisement which only made return of investment more difficult and has killed creativity in hollywood hence all the remakes and sequels since it's what they know will sell. This is also why there's less movie studios now.

Calling people virgins in 2020 is as antiquated as the movie theater model, seriously haven't heard that term used like that since I was in high school. It's only been brought back recently as incels recently. Teens and adults now have apps like tinder, dating has changed in the age of hook up culture.

Think of it, paying money to watch tv on a bigger screen. Teens and adults are in front of screens all day, whether the phone or computers at work, when people go outside they want to go to the park, museums etc disconnect and be able to talk and socialize instead of being in a dark place that you can't talk for 2+ hours.

I watched like 3 movies a year, especially those that you wanted to go at midnight showings etc. It's an experience but not for every super hero movie that comes out every 3 months. Prices are expensive, it's really. 70/30 ratio of whether you'll get an audience that respects others or they will be talking, kids crying, or literally sending messages in the middle of the movie. Horrible experiences.

I'm sure Gen Xs and boomers have great memories of cinemas but society has evolved and people don't go to the circus either despite being a far more unique experience than cinemas.
