>But theatres are dead/dying

This is a regional thing.

I have lived in places where you had to wait in line for hours to buy very expensive tickets and sit in cramped disgusting conditions and watch a film on a small screen barely visible because the bulb in the projector was dying

I have lived in places where the theater was pristine, the screens were enormous, luxury seating, tickets were cheap, and you were the only person in the place.

It's so weird to see people and their terrible theater experiences. I haven't had a terrible experiences in many years. The last time I can remember is people starting a fight before passion of the Christ. I remember rolling my eyes at hearing a baby cry before the force awakens, but it fell asleep as the movie started.

Yeah, I've been going to theaters for years before the pandemic, sometimes as much as once a week, and I can count on one hand the bad experiences.

Got a baby and it's stupid parents kicked out of Mad Max once. Poor thing was crying it's head off. With how loud that movie is, it's borderline child abuse.

High tourist areas have very nice theatres with poor attendance.
