Movie Theater Attendance Hits 24-Year-Low

Description

According to the National Association of Theater Owners, 2017 admissions were down to levels not seen since the ’90s. 2018 may be a whole lot worse. Everybody has their own theory, of course, as to why audiences are showing up to the movies less. Some blame cost as ticket prices rose to an average of nearly nine dollars. Some blame the quality of movies playing in the theatres. Variety, for example, seems to think it was a summer of lackluster titles. According to the Wrap, there simply aren’t enough movies, period. Others believe a combination of all three is to blame.

  • Horror Show: AMC May Be Bone Dry Of Cash At Year's End

    Gizmodo reports ailing theater chain AMC might be totally broke by the end of 2020. In financial filings, the company disclosed on Tuesday that it may require 'additional sources of liquidity or increases in attendance levels' to survive. In other words, it'll need more cash or more butts on seats--or both. The company cites low attendance and a delayed movie release schedule during the coronavirus pandemic. If those don’t change, AMC may pursue additional debt and equity financing, renegotiations with landlords, asset sales, or joint ventures. They're not alone. Competitor Regal Cinemas has also disclosed it will need fresh funds by early 2021 if the winter results in 'prolonged' shutdowns.
