> movies don't just come out of thin air. A movie studio can only make a few $250m+ movies a year, so we get the movies we get. New ones, yes, but what about old ones? It's not like they are broken or incompatible or something. Movies don't just disappear the day after box office weekend! > No one who goes to see the, Avengers: End Game is going to also want to watch, Le Charme discret de la bourgeoisie - even on a lark. So what? Show something else, then. There are thousands of movies out there to choose from, but there are only 19 showing today! Hell, you could pick one at random from IMDB's top 250, and it would probably fill more seats than yet another 4 daily showings of Evil Dead Rise. Hell, one of the 19 they are actually showing is Ponyo. That came out in 2008! I bet it outsells at least 3 of the 4 Super Mario Bros. Movie showtimes. Just because Netflix exists doesn't mean theaters are worthless without new content. What else is there to do around town? A couple weeks ago, my dad was in town for a few hours. We went out for lunch, and tried to think of something else to do together. Our first thought was to go see a movie, but we weren't interested in a single one of the ones that were showing that day. Imagine that: dozens of theater screens all around the city, and nothing to watch. It's absurd how normal that is.
