“If a movie is made independently and only sells to a streamer, then fine. But I don’t want to make something where [streaming is] the end-all,” Olsen said.

Yup. With the way theater pricing has gotten lately, it’s no wonder. My rural theater’s prices went up by 50% for tickets while simultaneously kneecapping their rewards. We were a family that would see a movie every 1-2 months as long as there was something good. This year we’ve seen three. It’s just not worth it anymore, and with every passing day, upgrading/modernizing my home theater seems a much better investment.

Which stinks because I genuinely do like my theater and have been going there for 10+ years, and I love going, but the pricing, especially for tickets, has become ludicrous.
