With the state of the world at the moment, there is a lot of mystery surrounding what the world's new normal is going to look like. What businesses will make it, what ones won't. One that looks poised to go under and likely not survive is your local movie theater. You see, in a world of streaming, direct to home releases priced like a theater ticket, and the possibility of large scale gatherings being put off for longer yet - it's not looking good. Will movie theaters survive the pandemic? Well, let's talk about it.

Let’s be real- the only reason Trolls World Tour did so well is that parents stuck at home with kids needed something to entertain them

[@Eroc6823]

Alternatively: drive in movie theatres are gonna make a comeback

[@TheAnimeViber]

Didn’t age well.

[@jaxgoodboy7886]

I'm gonna be real upset if the last movie I ever saw in cinemas was Frozen II

[@brock7682]

Matpat, I was

[@ADMusic1999]

The worse enemy of movie theaters is KZbin. Why go to the movies when I can bingewatch The Film Theorists

[@kairuga8575]

If movie theaters die I'm literally out of reasons to go outside

[@kevinduffy7018]

Boy, this didn't age well.

[@retromillennialgamer93]

When nobody else is the movie theater, the real fun begins.

[@TheRed_master]

All of the introverts who like going to the movie theaters on the idea of stadium theaters: NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@storyshiftchara7744]

theater: shuts down

[@AbrahamLincoln4]

As Abraham Lincoln, I have a phobia of Theaters.

[@spdrhyder8194]

Watching Endgame in a theater was a spiritual experience. I never felt more connected with complete strangers than i did then especially with Captain America did THE THING, the whole theater went wild, the energy was electric

[@sjmorani5753]

As a cinema worker i can confirm that people do make out in screens....and worse.

[@hi6575]

“Movie theaters might close down due to social distancing”

[@hereticalpaintjobs]

Fun fact: the reason concession prices are so high is because that’s how the theatres make their revenue they lose with ticket sales

[@imnotgayiswear2419]

The best way for theaters to succeed is to interact with it's community. My community theater plays awesome local indie films, and you can barely even get a fucking ticket half the time. They need to do more outreach to be successful.

[@pythonjava6228]

Going to theaters is my favourite thing😭😭😭

[@aydanbarry6760]

“If you and your kids want snacks”

[@jesusisheart]

my brother works at a theater and he can confirm that yes. The rumors of kissing in the back row are true. You would be suprised how many used condoms and tampons you find back there
