    2023 is after the pandemic. The 2023 numbers are BELOW the pre-pandemic levels. The the pandemic doesn’t appear to have any affect here. Said other way, if the pandemic drop was completely deleted, there would STILL be a decline in movie theater attendance.

    There was no streaming alternative

    So again, you’re agreeing with me when we disagree with Tsujimoto’s statements that people will continue to go to the movie theater.

      The pandemic caused shutdowns of many, many filming schedules and caused massive backups once they could resume, contributing to a drought of releases in 2023. What movies besides Barbie and Oppenheimer do you remember having any big marketing push?

      There was also the writers strike.
