I’ve seen people claim this CEO is speaking for the consumer, and I find that depressing and hilarious.

All of these suggestions benefit studios, kneecap theatres, and would likely lead to higher costs for the consumer as theatres struggle to stay afloat.

End goal for studios is probably for AMC and Regal to fail. This way they can go back to owning their own movie theaters.
