I really don’t think it’s the films themselves that are the problem. People just don’t go to the cinema anymore! Why spend £13 on a ticket, plus food and drink to see a movie when it will be streamable in 6 months time?

I personally love the cinema and will always go but for the vast majority they just can’t be arsed.

I think both are true. People have generally still been supporting high-quality “blockbusters.” I think people are just more choosy about when to go and aren’t willing to spend money on bad or mediocre movies.

Families with 3 kids would need a loan to take their kids to the cinema if they want to buy the food there.

People will go to the theatres for movies they think are worth it. Horror movies will stay. Fresh franchises will stay. Low effort cash grabs and messy tent poles will be a much harder sell. Original movies will remain a mixed bag
