New Study Says 49% Of Moviegoers Have Yet To Return To Cinemas Post-COVID Due To High Costs

I live right near a bunch of theaters and went maybe once a year at best. My kids have never been and may never go, and I suspect a lot of their generation is in a similar place. I actually tried to convince my oldest to go see a movie with me once and then conversation went about like this:

“Want to go see a movie today?”

“Sure, let’s go to the basement!!”

“No, at a theater.”

“Why would we go to a theater? we can watch a movie in the basement.”

“We could get popcorn!”

“But we can make popcorn here.”

At which point I decided to stop trying to convince my kid to let me spend $30+ on something that we could just do in our own basement.
