for a matinee now at their local theatre. Throw in concessions and they'll just wait for two months for it to come on streaming unless it's something the kids are DYING to see, and this wasn't it.

We discuss this on the podcast this week. The people who left theaters just aren't coming back except for many one every few years. -- (link) - David Jun 18, 15:51 10
- They still go regularly. They saw Guardians and Spider-Man but Pixar means nothing to the kids and there’s no urgency to see it. -- nm* - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jun 18, 16:00 6
  - Exactly. People have returned to theaters. Look at the grosses. They are just selective and Pixar has no name anymore. It’s been killed. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 17:12 3
    - Box office during the first quarter of 2023 fell 25% short of 2019 levels, and that's with Avatar 2. -- nm - David Jun 18, 17:22 2
      - studios only released 65% of the total number of titles in theaters last year v 2019. the pipeline also isn’t yet at pre-pandemic levels -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 19:19 1
        
        Who said anything about last year? That's the most recent data. And we've had a boatload of mega-expensive films out lately. Why did they fail? -- nm - David Jun 18, 19:53
  - This is one of those rare films I can happily recommend to everyone. It's slight but lovely. -- nm - David Jun 18, 16:09
  - yup. -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 16:01
- we seniors know what days are our $4 discount. -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 18, 15:55
- yes collapsing the theatrical window even shorter was also felony stupid -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 18, 15:54 1
  - As demonstrated by...all the found money studios are getting from PVOD? -- nm - David Jun 18, 15:56
