The cinemas not already dead are dying.

Cinemas were a way to share the cost of technology to show high quality movies among hundreds of people.

Most people now has that tech at home, so there is no need for cinemas anymore.

I went to my local cinema a few times before it closed last year. There were never more than 3 spectators.

Maybe it's different for me in the heart of LA, but I still need to plan around a movie if it's opening week. Theatres will fill up.

Home is convenient, but also small and thus limited. Having a large commons to go out to helps. But that might not be the case for Gen Z as they adjust from 200 inch screen to 7 inch ones for consuming media. Why spend 150 million on a cinematic experience when a single creator spends maybe a week planning a 30 second tiktok for engagement?
