I suspect all theaters are loosing patrons.
For years before the pandemic, 99% of Hollywood productions were pure trash. The pandemic (and celebrities' lecturing response to it), turned off a large part of the final 1% of movie-goers! People who never purchased a movie on their tv before COVID, learned how easy it was and how much cheaper it was. The pandemic "broke the habit" of seeking entertainment at the brick-and-mortar theaters. Also, streaming services are offering better movies than the ones coming out of Hollywood!
Covid made people happy to watch movies at home. With Hollywood still producing garbage, I don't see how a theater survives.
