I feel the exact opposite. The large chains are refusing to acknowledge that their industry is changing, content providers are changing, and they need to figure out how to grow their business in this new environment. In New York we've lost the City Cinema on 86th Street, the Beekman, the Paris and rumors are the Kips Bay and Landmark will soon follow. The old model isn't working.
At the moment Netflix is in negotiation to take over the Paris and I believe they already have a theater in Hollywood. We, the subscribers to Netflix, paid for the Irishman to be made and delaying the time we can see it would be very destructive of their business model. I have friends who subscribe to Netflix who decided to see Roma in theaters because they wanted the movie going experience for an important movie. Plus, most think no Hollywood studio would have made The Irishman at a cost of 180 million for a three and a half hour movie. The times they are a changing.
