My partner and I were discussing all this after our experience, and we came to the conclusion that the future of cinema is community. Smaller, local screens that show one movie at a time for a price that covers the running costs.
There’s a little community owned cinema in the town they’re from; one of the oldest purpose built cinemas in the world, no less. It’s not making anyone a millionaire, but it does show a good selection of new movies in a nice building that the locals are proud of. If it wasn’t a 2 hour drive away, I’d be inclined to watch most movies there.
