They May Be All Right, But Are Kids Running Away From the Multiplex? | The Wrap Movies

They May Be All Right, But Are Kids Running Away From the Multiplex? | The Wrap Movies

This story scares me because it follows several recent experiences that made me feel like the movies might be trending down. The multiplex I usually go to has dropped 13 of their 30 screens. The theaters never seem to be packed. The time waiting in line at the concession stand is usually complicated orders and slow service rather than long lines. There are not a lot of movies that people are passionate about. And movies are on DVD/Blu-Ray, just weeks after they play in theaters. The narrow windows are another contributing factor. Heaven help us.
