A full month into the fall season, 44% of U.S. theaters haven’t reopened fromclosures, according to Comscore. The ones that have opened aren’t drawing much of a crowd—a signal that many moviegoers are hesitant to return. According to Box Office Mojo, the weekend’s total domestic box office totaled $8.3 million. That is down nearly 12% from last week and is more than 93% below what October 2019’s weekends averaged. News that the pandemic even hasA lack of compelling content is another drag.
But even the well-reviewed “Tenet” from AT&T’s Warner Bros. has struggled with indoor entertainment options considered risky. Box-office sales for the film fell 21% over the last week and it has generated only about $45 million over five weeks domestically. “Dunkirk”—the last film from “Tenet” director Christopher Nolan—grossed nearly $169 million domestically in its first five weeks in the summer of 2017, according to Box Office Mojo.

The movie industry doesn't deserve to survive.

Not a bad thing, maybe we can get back to good story telling and the broken system that can't come up with an original idea and their filthy child trafficking can stop once and for all.
Just spitballing here, but the movie industry might also have a bit of a problem given half the country hates celebrities after they bailed out criminals that burn and loot their cities. 🤷🏼♀️

Defund Hollywood Elite
nonessential
They would recover a lot faster if they would stop alienating ~50% viewers with movies which celebrate every leftist cause imaginable, inject them into almost every movie/show, & just make entertaining Media vs indoctrinating everyone into whatever stupid thing they believe.
Ah well, the socialists likely want to defund the movies. They just make people unequally rich without working.
WWWAAHHHHHHH!
