I have to admit that it was fun to see Jurassic Park with all of that, less the people around part - JD Nov 11, 13:31 7
- I'm jealous of you and everyone else that's been in a theater recently. - Krusty Nov 11, 13:48 6
  - we went to a drive-in once this summer (Tenet). it felt amazing. -- nm - Andie Nov 11, 13:50 5
    - I've always been jealous of people that have been to a drive-in and that was before all this. - Krusty Nov 11, 13:52 4
      - We have one by us. Never go. Movies start way too late for me since they have to wait until it's way dark. -- nm - oblique Nov 11, 13:54 1
        
        You have to go once just for the experience -- nm - Krusty Nov 11, 13:55
      - in terms of movie quality viewing, i mean, no, it's not ideal. but you also aren't going to be seeing some quiet art film there in the first place. -- nm - Andie Nov 11, 13:54 1
        
        It feels like such Americana and something I want to do in the near future -- nm - Krusty Nov 11, 13:57
There’s an underlying terror among the cinema industry that people are “falling out of the habit”. - Mop Nov 11, 13:29 11
- As much as I hate to admit it, I think this is a very, very real concern. -- nm - MDH Nov 11, 13:56
- I think they're wrong and that people will flock to theaters as soon as they feel they're safe to do so. - Krusty Nov 11, 13:35 4
  - I agree. People already are trying to get back to prior ways. Once it is truly safe there will be a huge rebound with restaurants, theaters etc -- nm* - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 11, 13:38 3
    - I've been as cautious as anyone can be since this started. It was out of control here and I've been extra cautious. But I'm ready to get out and do - Krusty Nov 11, 13:43 2
      - Yup. I think there is going to be a huge rebound, like the flood gates will open once it is safe. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 11, 13:52 1
        
        Agreed. I'm going to book flights as soon as I know when I can get the vaccine. If they say some time around June, I'll be booking flights for the - Krusty Nov 11, 13:54
- yep this is very true as well. -- nm - Jovian Nov 11, 13:31 4
  - The pandemic has changed a lot of habits. Some of them are good for commerce. Others are accelerating the demise of old paradigms. - Mop Nov 11, 13:34 3
    - As hard as people are resisting being shuttered again, I expect theaters will actually do *better* business if we get a good vaccine. -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 11, 13:35 2
      - I would definitely want to go back to a theater once it is safe. You can't bet watch a great movie on the big screen with friends -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 11, 13:38 1
        
        And not just friends. Being around *people* again in that setting will be a *thrill*. Same for concerts. -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 11, 13:41
AMC lost $1B this quarter. They may not be there to go back to. -- nm - oblique Nov 11, 13:28 4
- I'm not an expert in this but will no one want to be in the movie showing business if people are clamoring for them? - Krusty Nov 11, 13:30 3
  - Sure. I’ll go to a theater to see Wicked or Book of Mormon. And I’ll go to a theater to see the next Avengers movie. The next Knives Out? - Mop Nov 11, 13:36 2
    - There are so many movies that are much better experience in a theater that is lost at home. Knives Out isn't a good example. Would you go see - Krusty Nov 11, 13:40 1
      - There’s already a theater in town where I won’t go see a Star Wars movie because it sucks (the theater, not Star Wars). - Mop Nov 11, 13:46
Wait 'til you get a load of me! -- nm - COVID-20 Nov 11, 13:28
Same -- nm - Ender Nov 11, 13:27 1
- I miss that smell when you walk in and everything that goes with seeing a movie in a theater. A smaller screen with weaker sound and few people - Krusty Nov 11, 13:28
