Our city added a B&B theater and I’d probably go to it if they offered a subscription service that competed with AMC’s A List. I love that they have stuff like pickleball and arcade games. I remember the AMC I used to go to had arcade games, pinball, air hockey, and I think even a pool table somewhere. I still go to that AMC nearly twenty years later and they have maybe a few claw machines and the theater is much more run down than it used to be overall.
I think at some point, it may just become untenable for these giant 10-25 screen multiplexes to continue and the theater industry will revert back to smaller 1-5 screen theaters with bars and/or additional entertainment in the front area.
I’ll also add that I don’t think the endless dooming about how there are no good movies is actually true. I go to 75+ movies in the theater a year and I’d say 90% of the ones I see are at least decent. There’s always gonna be some stinkers out there though.
