How about they start making good movies that are actually worth to go to cinema for instead of whatever they are doing
Yup, I go to movies when they look good. But movies are so expensive these days that the bar is raised enough that I rarely go. If you're going to ask $10-15 for a single viewing, you need to make a really good movie.
I'm happy to spend £10 to watch a movie at the cinema, but I refuse to spend £10 AND have to buy the movie to watch it again. I will watch it then pirate it. I don't think that's such a big deal.
And adjust the fucking business model so that theatres can make money from people just buying tickets at reasonable prices and don't have to try to gouge them at the concession stand or treat them like criminals for bringing their own food.
I've been to one movie in the theatre since the pandemic and the main thing it did was remind me that seeing movies in a theatre just wasn't really worth it anymore.
