I think it will come back. As someone who has deep nostalgia for the theater experience and has always loved movies, i think we are simply living through the death of Hollywood, and it comes with a big change in the entire market around it.

But i think the “event” of watching a film for the first time with a huge group of people to experience it together will not go away. I hope actually for Bitcoin to help bring back those sorts of community experiences and realign things around amazing content. However, the medium and the technology has changed drastically, so what form it takes or how popular it stays exactly is hard to say.

That said, despite all the garbage, Top Gun: Maverick was one of the best theater experiences ive had in the better part of a decade. That movie was made for the big screen.
