I'll bring this point up again, finances are tight.

I don't thing many people are going to theatres these days. Something like mario galaxy or whatever still holds some grab because it's aimed for kids. Some families can handle a movie night but it's hard to justify a family movie night if it costs $100+ even if you bring your own stuff in; I know that tickets and popcorn and drinks aren't that expensive everywhere. But like hey, the movie theatre is closing down at the mall plaza in a VERY populated area.

Also what is Hollywood thinking releasing movies like Project Hail Mary’s with a runtime 2 hours and 46 minute. Look, I haven't even finished the movie on a stream site. My gaming buddies in their 20's don't go to movie theatres, they mostly watch anime. I don't remember the last movie I watched in a theatre.

I'll guess most people will watch whatever movie at home since it costs what? Going out to see maybe two or three movies for a giant TV these days? There's no burning passion to go to the theatre, I'd rather just stay home.
