Hope im wrong, but half the films released you can buy on PPV the same time they're in the Cinema. Also, it's not really a cheap family day out, people will start to wait for films to show on streaming services.

yes, but most people dont have access to a 4dx cinema and don't care. Cinemas will be gone within 5 years

I think some Cinemas will remain.

I actually hate going to the cinema, i love talking through films and googling the actors and plot etc

i got dragged to watch jurassic world a few weeks ago and needed a wee for like the entire 6 hour film but didn't want to do that awkward walk of shame down and up the steps

Perhaps a few of the big Cinemas in major cities. And some Art House Theatres. But as far as mainstream, Cinema is a dying trade imo. I did hear the new Top Gun film did really well, so maybe there's hope.

I've not been for years, i don't know anybody else who has either. Im sure custom from kids was a big bulk of their trade, if they can keep the kids interested maybe they have a future. But im certain, either way, it'll be very much downscaled.

The pandemic and shutting the cinemas has obviously damaged the business. Box-office numbers still well down on 2019.

Film studios aren't putting as many films into cinemas now, and the ones that do come to streaming earlier.

I looked at the realise schedule recently and there is nothing major until the middle of October.

Ironically the last film i watched at the Cinema was Terminator Salvation, which i enjoyed tremendously. Criminally underrated film.

I don't know why they don't do more offers there. I like Cineworld but I don't think I've ever had a ticket under a tenner even though I normally went on quiet weekday afternoons when there were only a couple of other people there. They had no beer at all the last time I went to one as well

Just checked Cineworld vs Vue for Monday afternoon as an example in the proper graveyard slot. £5.89 to watch a film at Vue, £9.99 at Cineworld
