cinemas are a dead business model like blockbuster, and soon game to me.Obviously there's a decent chance of upside if it gets back to 300p, and i do believe Cinema will return, streaming still won't replace the cinema appeal for me and i think it's a long way until Cinemas will end, and a lot have invested a lot in more premium seating as standard and it's quite pleasant at my local cinema especially.
The last time I went to the cinema was I think 2017 or 2018, during the summer we went a few times to cineworld in Nottingham and it was always dead, not even 25% full (in the evening btw around 7-10)
BTw if your interested cinema attendance stats for the UK
https://www.cinemauk.org.uk/the-ind...-admissions-and-box-office/annual-admissions/
TLDR:
The table below shows trends in UK cinema admissions (millions) since 1935.
From an historic high immediately post-war of 1.64 billion in 1946, UK cinema admissions gradually declined to an all-time low of just 54 million in 1984.
Since that time, the advent of the multiplex, and record levels of investment in improving the theatrical experience (still ongoing), have seen admissions recover such that since 2000, they have remained (sometimes significantly so) above 150 million.
numbers have been 150m - 170m since 2000, it doesn't even grow with population, cinemas are too expensive for families.
Greed destroyed them
