There were more than 40 theaters decades ago and box office is down. Check your facts.

I’m talking about live theaters in 1950s and before when tvs were still a new thing life theaters thrived but we’re small in number yet there are more than a thousands today….with your logic they should’ve closed down because tvs are a thing but guess what? They didn’t. That’s why you can’t just predict the future that easily

Every city had a least one theater, NY alone has had more than 40 theaters for forever. Going to the theater is an expensive proposition for many. Even movie theaters are becoming too expensive for many.
