There is another big problem with attracting the younger crowd. That is their attention span. I work in education, and let me tell you, after the pandemic, I noticed a huge change. Kids can not sit still and watch something for more than 15 minutes now. I’ve noticed this is the case with movies and shows, too. They just cannot stand being bored for a single iota. If they are watching something, it is in the background while they game. The only videos that hold attention is a platform like TikTok. Where they watch something for 15 seconds and then scroll to the next. I think theaters might struggle to adapt to the new generation because kids cannot sit in a room and do just one thing without breaks for two hours.
Thanks for reading! Yeah, I have a teacher friend who says this too. The problem will probably get worse for theaters before it gets better (IF it gets better)
I’m keeping my fingers crossed because I love going to the theater. It is the best place for me to relax and unwind while I down the largest slushy you’ve ever seen!
