We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

If enough of them die, then that particular market will need to correct. The movie industry needs consumers.

Or, to put it another way, the current business models need to die, so they can be replaced with better models.

I have a more cynical view where it's the smaller ones that die and the market just turbo consolidates, and the remaining cinemas get even shittier since there will be always people who probably go to cinema no matter what

Hmm. Yeah. That is exactly what would happen.

Though the possible advantage of that is the bargaining power of the cinemas increases compared to the distributors... as if cinemas should have some form of union ;-)
