Maybe they should tell the studios to crank back the preachy liberalism from 11 to about 1.6.

ping - people not going to movies as much other than the tentpoles. To your point on the other thread; people passively watch whatever may interest them on a streaming service.

Steven Spielberg talked about this more than a decade ago - said to bring people to the movies theatergoing has to become more entertainment than just watching a film... since you can do that from your couch.

So the plan is working. Emphasize diversity, LGBTQ, woke philosophy of insulting white people for being supremacists and showing films promoting the socialist future and the theaters will have lines around the block waiting for the doors to open./S

Note: Lines will include bill collectors and repo guys.

Good. AMC is owned by company in China that owns most theaters in the world which is why you will never see a movie critical of China.

China has turned our own entertainment industry into a propaganda arm of the Chinese Government.

Hey Hollyweird; GO WOKE, GO BROKE.

If it weren't for the Top Gun sequel they'd be worse off.

It would help if Hollywood tried making decent movies, rather that a bunch of woke, agenda driven crap.

"If you have a message, call Western Union."

Samuel Goldwyn may not have said it, but it's a great quote.

I’m trying to remember the last time I saw a movie (and what the movie was) in a theater .... and I don’t remember, it’s been that long.

Most people now have a large tv at home. Theater projectors are either 2K or 4K, so theater resolution is not better than home.

Why go to the movies, when the picture on your home tv is just as good?
