I'm surprised there wasn't a big drop from Netflix and big ass TV's.

There was. If you map that onto the growth in population you'll see that tickets per person has been dropping since about 2000.

I’ve been to like six or seven movies with my partner…

We’ve been together for 12 years.

We’ve seen thousands of movies, though—thank you, trackers.

Big ass TVs?

Doesn't sound sanitary.

2020 kinda accelerated the existing trends and got a majority of people willing to watch films at home instead of in theaters. Before that enough people really enjoyed the theater experience that it wasn't too much of a threat to the business model
