Movies are terrible these days. No new fresh ideas. Just the same old retread plots only now they are filled with woke BS.
The industry has to be hurting because of the pandemic, too. Movie theaters were shut down and probably continue to struggle.
I try to have compassion for the people who might lose their jobs but then I remember that they hate me so I say good riddance. Why support an entity or business that hates me.
Around 3 years ago....they made ‘Cats’. My wife forced me to go with her to it. I literally fell asleep by 45 minute point. Even she admitted that it was a loser.
There are a lot of good movies out there - on free sites such as Tubi and Popcorn Flix.

Agreed. Pre-scamdemic lockdowns, I hadn’t been to a movie theatre more than a handful of times since 2013. Very rarely did any of the crap coming out Hollywood instill any enthusiasm or motivation in me to pay $20 for a ticket and another $15 for a soda and popcorn.
Hubby and I went to the movie theater, last month, to see The Eternals
Our experience was not good. Now, we both liked going to the movies, pre-COVID. Part of our routine would be to go a little early and get something from the concession area. He liked getting a couple of scoops of ice cream, and I liked getting a Mocha drink.
We arrived, with pre-assigned seats, and were disappointed to discover that there was no concession stand. The counters were dark and there were no employees behind the counters. As we walked to get to our screening room, we passed a group of young employees who yelled at me because I didn't have my mask on. I am 67 years old. I do not take kindly to teenagers yelling at me like I'm a 2 year old. I was p.o.'d about that and it kind of ruined my experience.
So, I don't think we will be going back to a movie theater any time soon, if ever. If the "industry" thinks that cutting back on services that used to be provided, and having rude children yelling at their customers, is going to get people back to the movie theaters, they are mistaken.
