Theatres are meant to be places to watch movies, and movies are an art form. The garbage Hollywood is putting out these days is designed-by-committee bullshit. Not art. So yeah, theatres will probably die because they’re not making art anymore.

    My local theatre shows some new artsie movies. We go to see them, and some are great.

    But the theatre is usually close to empty.

    I don’t think expunging the bland, mass market movies would save theaters, even if they did.

    I'm not sure I understand this take. Are you specifically talking about Hollywood vs. indies? I would consider PTA a part of Hollywood and I thought One Battle After another was fantastic. Same for people like Zach Cregger, Yorgos Lanthimos, or Danny Boyle.
