Netflix will never beat outdoor cinema in Australia

  Would love to have more outdoor cinema here. It became a thing here after lockdown but slowly went away as more venues opened back up.

    Similar here in Sydney. There was a small boom in outdoor showings, generally parks and greens, around 2020-22. Some sponsored showings, amex and westpac in particular, were quite frequent and well produced. Offhand were back down to 1 or 2 locations and a much shorter “season” of a few weeks in the summer.

  This week in zombie journalism: comparing at-home Netflix to outdoor cinema This is apples and oranges. At a certain point, experience scaling makes it an entirely different experience. On a personal level, though I stream cinema at home, I still attend a few showings a year at our local Alamo Drafthouse. It's not "outdoor" cinema, but we go as a posse, go early for the pre-show bar scene, the famous Alamo pre-show background reels, and the quality AV experience. It's just a different media animal.
