I'm sure that Mom & Pop and Fine Arts theaters will exist and there will probably be a few theaters left for massive blockbusters and IMAX. But the days of 16+ Multiplexes were dwindling before COVID-19 and with AMC filing Chapter 11, we're sure to see less movie theaters in the coming years.

The virus sped up the inevitible.
Supposed to be dead before. they survived TV, then cable and finally streaming. But, I agree, I think covid-19 will be the final nail in the coffin.
