I haven't been to a cinema since COVID and hardly went before then (once or twice a year). I spoke last year with a friend who runs theatre distribution for a major studio. He said this is common among Xers like me, but that older people and, surprisingly, genZ are enthusiastic cinema-goers. I would not have guessed the latter. I think it's unlikely I'll ever go to a cinema again. I hear about films being released in cinemas these days and figure I'll just see it when it comes to streaming...or maybe not.

I'm older, and I'm not a fan of seeing movies in the theater anymore. I used to be an avid moviegoer. I'm also unwilling to subscribe to streaming services (I got rid of cable TV for a reason, I don't need it back). So I only really watch movies on disc anymore, or occasionally at a friends house. Which means that I don't watch many new mainstream movies -- which I'm OK with. The vast majority of the movies being made these days aren't my kind of thing anyway, and the sorts of movies I do enjoy tend to have disc releases.
