the movie theatre will die in your lifetime

two more weeks

>>212692828 (OP)
Nope. For mass consumption catering to the lowest common denominator? Yes. For legacy theaters that cater to the custodians of film? No.

>>212692828 (OP)
How do you know?

you will own nothing and you WILL be happy

Good.
I hope movies themselves die as well.
Video Games are the ultimate form of entertainment, books are also great and timeless.
But movies? Outdated, limited, garbage.

My home setup has gotten pretty comfy. My main problem with theaters is they are too quiet now. Even the blockbusters are all sub woofer and all the mid tones have been cut. Anyone else notice that?

>>212692862
So they will be like arcades.
Extinct besides big cities with one or two.

It's hard because everything is so shit these days, I don't want to take the risk of giving them my money for something crap. And it's not like I can take the advice of anyone here.

>>212692894
Yes. If I want to go to an arcade, there's still options, but I gotta be willing to travel a bit. Generation X isn't letting this one go, no way. One of the good things Boomers imparted to us was the deluxe theater-going experience.
Lobby, arcade, refreshments, an intermission for the right films, and gimmicks. Add those things to an already competent presentation and people will keep coming back.
I'm sure Millennials are interested, but Zoomers are probably too warped to care. Who knows.

their legacy will live on in VR chat

DUDE they are planning on getting rid of grocery stores that you can physically walk in to. They are attempting to do everything as order online and pick up in car or deliver to home. They don’t want us interacting with the general public in public spaces. We are Screwed.

>>212692828 (OP)
Don’t care, haven’t gone in like 10 years now that they don’t make anything good anymore. All that comes out is capeshit and woke trash, and they wonder why nobody goes anymore?

>>212693061
The boy won the lottery if you think about it. He can fit in with the hair dye crowd if he wants to, but his sister just looks ill.

>>212692828 (OP)
Good, they've passed their usefulness. I haven't been to one in over a decade and I honestly don't miss the sound of babies crying, people on their phones, random people talking or chewing loudly when I watch a film.

>>212692867
Bill Gates says there will be worse pandemics

>>212692828 (OP)
They fucking deserve it. I haven't been in 10 years and have no plans to ever go again.

>>212692828 (OP)
Eventually but they'll just be limited to higher population areas. Going to the movie theater late at night in the city is such a vibe.

>>212692872
Films aren't obsolete or limited, they fucked them up on purpose for the sake of the trans/fag/satan agenda. Every pos engaged in it right now, that will be their legacy. Bob Iger and KK and the rest will go down as some of the worst custodians of art and its business, of all time. This is stabbing the golden goose to death because you hate that people like your product.

>>212693117
Nta, but kindly take your politics and shove them deeply over at /pol/. I don't even like him, but shut the fuck up. Damn. I come here to avoid the dreaded real world, motherfucker.

>>212692862
It's literally the opposite retard
All the arthouse theaters will no longer exist while all the major movie theater chains will get bought by Disney and they will literally turn them into theme parks

>>212692828 (OP)
modern films arent really worth watching. There is like maybe 2 good films a year now. The situation is getting bad.

>>212693148
The run time of 1.5-3 hours limits movies massively. Same actors being in everything is also a limiting factor.

>>212693151
>All the arthouse theaters will no longer exist
Do you not realize that they play first run movies too now? Then they rent out times for big bucks as well. They also sell alcohol, unlike most theaters, but that one's a bad idea generally, but that's beside the point of revenue.

>>212693151
>all the major movie theater chains will get bought by Disney and they will literally turn them into theme parks

LOL Disney is going broke just robbing Peter to pay Paul within its own meager growth plans, anon, and they don't got that kind of money.

Now, if you said Apple wanted to buy all theaters, then I won't laugh because they got that much cash.

>>212693019
>my second wish is for another genie blowjob

>>212693208
Lilo and stitch made a billion dollars
Nobody cares about watching some arthouse garbage and even if they do, they're gonna watch them on their televison

Disney makes a lot of money from parks and this is what Disney wants to turn movie theaters. Into fucking theme parks. Just like Scorsese has said

>>212693159
Two if you count all international releases as well. 0 from Hollywood. There hasn't been a good movie from LA since..well fuck I can't think of it. Not Oppenheimer, that has no soul. Like a GOOD movie? Man, idk. Years and years.

>>212693315
You just don't read, do you? The nice protected legacy theaters are flush with cash because they play Lilo and Stitch AND Frankenhooker or The Ten Commandments-anything you want, for the right price. They'll be fine.
Now? McTheaters? Not so much.

>>212693332
the new top gun movie was ok. everything everywhere all at once. the new ghostbusters. alien romulus was ok. There are a handful of watchable movies that still come out.

>>212693455
Nta, but aside from the new Super Mario Bros movie, there hasn't been anything remotely good since Dune part 1. It's almost like new movies ended in 2005 with George Romero's almost-good Land of the Dead.

I'm glad I saw Megalopolis at the cinema because it was a reminder that watching a movie at the cinema can actually be good. Not interested in visually hideous franchiseslop.

I've only went about five times in my life, so it won't make much of a difference to me.

This is so sad.

I wonder if the boy has some level of magical powers, just not constrained to other people's wishes.

>>212693150
How many (((vaccines))) did you take?

>>212694032
The same amount of women you've touched.

Sounds like a movie plot. I get 10%.

lol
lmao

>>212692828 (OP)
where will i buy theater popcorn? they're the best.

>>212692828 (OP)
Sure right after stage theater goes away.

that is your projection,
youngfag.


I die very soon.
on serious note, yeah they will die. Theatres have been dying rapidly every year

>>212697398
I'm older than you :)

>>212692894
Every bowling alley in every midwest shithole has an arcade, though.

>>212693148
>>212692872
People don't realize it yet,

but in the future with AI, you won't just watch movies. You will be in them. You could play Clark, Lois, the villain, or even a random NPC.
Games and movies will be the SAME thing.

>>212697479
What about entertainment for people who aren't lazy retarded narcissists like you who just want to watch themselves be better than themselves?

>>212697555
>lazy retarded narcissists
You missed the point entirely.

It's about full (maximum) world immersion. You can explore and observe the world however you want.
It's no longer limited to just one or a few perspectives chosen by the creator.

>>212692872
>Video Games are the ultimate form of entertainment,
Lol no. Music is.

>>212692828 (OP)
I only watch pre-2000s films anyway and prefer to do so alone so I don't mind

>>212692828 (OP)
Tbh I think theaters will either be massive IMAX screen locations or small arthouse/community theaters. The danger is in the middle

>>212692828 (OP)
It will go the same way the opera, symphony orchestra and theater went. It will become a niche thing primarily enjoyed by old people and rich people.

>>212697648
>It's about full (maximum) world immersion.
No, you originally described maximizing how much the world is about you, not getting different perspectives, but forcing your perspective to override all others.

>>212697743
Videos games have music plus other things too, so music is just one small part of the video game experience.

>>212692893
I disagree. I never go to theaters because the subwoofers are normie subs that can't hit below 40hz.

>>212692828 (OP)
nice prediction, JAMES HOLMES!

>>212692872
>Video Games are the ultimate form of entertainment
this would be nice but player agency completely changes the way storytelling can work. you can't have a hero's journey if the main character is an inattentive teenager who thinks character development is "gay".

>>212692828 (OP)

Not my problem

>>212692828 (OP)
Opera houses haven't. Worst-case scenario is movie theaters become highly niche.
