Since because of the pademic there are no film theatres and even when this pademic is gone,(I wonder when) I doubt people with ever gather in large crowds and a theatre is no exception . Now we got streaming platforms like Netflix,prime video ,hotstar , Hulu to name a few . And many recent movies have been already started streaming in this platforms . Why go to a theatre when can watch from the comfort of our home ?. I wonder if there will be a film ever made again . Oh , well . What do you think ? Have theatres turned into a thing of the past ?

I don't think theatres are a thing of the past, there are great reasons to still go to them, social reasons as well as helping local city economies. As for the virus, it won't last indefinitely. There are some treatments which already show promise, and eventually a vaccine will be developed I'm sure, just as there have been others for other disease. Eventually, society will get back to normal (including large social gatherings.)

With the pandemic that is happening, a lot of things will be a thing of the past. I'm guessing, movie theaters will be affected because you really don't want to have that many people sitting in an enclosed area such as a theater. Theater owners might not make the profit that they need to continue operating.

There will be movie theaters but fewer of them. We were already becoming more of a watch at home society and this situation has accelerated that.

@KityCat I believe that movie theaters are too expensive and too noisy. I prefer Netflix to watch it on my TV in the comfort of my own home.
