    You're generally correct, but to be fair I think "going to the movies" is also dying because theatres suck and you can just watch everything at home like a week later.

      I disagree about theaters sucking. Corporate theaters suck but there's some good independent 1-2 screen ones around me that I love.

        Yeah. Theatres can be baller, but once the prices went from a few dollars when a few dollars was a lot of money, and society started fragmenting, spending a couple of bucks to do something fun with your friends in the evening the value proposition charged drastically.

      And being in a large crowd anywhere in burgerland means risk of getting shot. Or catching Covid Bird Flu... Can't blame people for becoming hermits 🤷‍♂️
