HBO Max is letting moviegoers decide for the first time how they want to watch newly released movies. If consumers decide they want to watch it at home more so than the theaters, doesn't that shine a light on the problem with the movie-going experience?

Personally, my favorite way of seeing a film is the movie theater, but because of covid, like many, I will probably watch these new WB movies at home. After covid, I will not, I seriously love movie theaters.I think those that are saying HBO Max is destroying movies are overreacting. I believe most people who love cinema will continue to go to the theater once things get back to normal.However, I've never heard these big time hollywood directors berate the theaters for having $8 hotdogs, unclean theaters, uncomfortable chairs, expensive movie tickets, terrible customer service, boring arcade games if they have any at all, etc etcGranted, new modern day movie theaters are opening up and having reclined chairs in regular theatres are becoming the norm.But it's nowhere where it could be, and maybe instead of being angry that people can watch new movies at home in a time of struggle, they could challenge movie theaters to find ways to be more enticing. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3reHTbA
