PROBLEM

COVID-19 and the resulting lockdowns significantly impacted businesses, particularly movie theaters. The rise of streaming services has further contributed to a decline in theater attendance.

OUTSIDE-INSIGHT

Watching a movie with an audience creates a synergy that amplifies the cinematic experience. Laughter becomes more infectious, tears more poignant, and jump scares more electrifying when shared with others.
