Did the Pandemic Kill the Box Office?
It's no secret: Movie ticket sales plummeted in 2020 as theaters closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing studios to delay movie releases. In some cases studios turned to on-demand streaming to get their movies out there and to start generating revenue.

While their answers differ slightly, both agreed that movie theaters must deliver a better consumer experience going forward if they're going to compete with the convenience of your living room.
