Why are you not worried that we're not, to use a double negative, gonna come back to the real deal?
- Well, aren't we all just sick of sitting on the couch and watching movies?
(laughs) - [Interviewer] Do you worry though, in all seriousness?
Is there a pice of you that worries?
- No, actually, I don't worry at all.
We've always had a different experience than the big chain theaters and we certainly want those chain theaters to survive.
We want film exhibitions to survive and thrive, and I firmly believed that it will, again.
Because you can't replicate the experience.
Like you talk about going to the Coolidge and seeing Spotlight.
First of all, you're going to run into, albeit, that was a high profile premiere.
You're going to run into people you know, you're going to run into people you wanna have a great conversation with, even if you don't know somebody.
You're going to hear people laugh at the same time, or cry at the same time, or somebody's going to laugh, and you're going to think, gee, I must have missed something.
You're going to have a completely different experience and people get that.
And people really miss connection now.
So I'm not concerned at all.
