Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas has sold to Sony Pictures Entertainment but will continue to operate its theaters under the brand name

I really hope this is a good thing. I don’t want to see theaters die, but I really hope Sony doesn’t interfere with the things that make Alamo Drafthouse great… I really hope they can rectify the closure of all the DFW locations as well.

    Great, so instead of fixing the issue of studios owning their own streaming platforms and locking content behind their own sites, now we have the movie theater industry starting down the same path.

    Rag on the music industry (and they do suck), but at least I don’t need to have a subscription to Sony Music+ and Atlantic Records+ to listen to their music libraries.

      More like returning. This was the old model of Hollywood, where studios owned pretty much every layer of the process.
