At the end of one of main streets of Greymouth is this corner outside the movie theatre there is this nice seating area which looks out towards our favourite restaurant across the road. Is it just me or are movies becoming less popular these days in that alot of people are using streaming services in their own homes such as Netflix or Youtube etc? I remember growing up going to the movies with my nana was a huge treat.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday, All Seasons and Tom's signs.

I've been hesitant since Covid.
Going to cinema used to be treat for me before pandemic. Now it is just less costly watching movies on the latest wide screen TV with surround system
Lucky we have an outdoor summer movie theatre.
Don't know what's happening in the big cities but I bet Netflix at home is more popular. Not so much covid I'd guess but the price
The biggest dude sits always in front of me in cinema etc, etc, but also you always get everything translated to German, which sucks as many a joke gets lost. The voices are "wrong"... So, yes, I sit at home and watch DVDs...
But I still remember those drive-in-cinemas where you watched the movie from the car. Do those still exist?
It's not just you, they are surely getting less popular.
I used to go to the cinema growing up but haven't been in decades.
...Main Street look sleepy. I've seen report of New Zealand's flooding, I hope that you aren't being affected.
I think you're right. With streaming, fast release of new movies, and high definition TVs, there is less to gain by going to a movie theater. I haven't been in a couple years, and I know some of our local theaters have gone out of business. Kind of sad.
I like going to movie theater and watch films on large screen and share emotions with a large audience
Love the depth perspective on this one. But where is everybody? I went movies twice last year. Waaay better than tv I reckon.
Movies are slow to come back. Hopefully they will continue recovering. Streaming is nice but watching something on the big screen is deluxe.
I love the sitting area. Unfortunately, nice public seating is disappearing in the USA. Homeless people stay on them all day long. I don't demonize them. They need to be somewhere and our housing has gotten really expensive.
I still go. Good for us who still go to the movies, there's less people so we get to enjoy more.
Worth a Thousand Words
Outdoor seating has increased exponentially since F was a kid. In Uk it exploded too (since COVID especially).
We still go to the movies and the sessions are full but I have read that movine going is down and one of the cinemasemailed me for feedback (which can only mean numbers are down)....Thanks for joining in #Allseasons
