I’d rather stream at home in the comfort of my recliner, and if my thermostat becomes uncontrollable I will have my winter jacket close by. I realize there are still die hard movie goers, but here and nationwide their numbers seem to be severely hurting the profitability of that industry. Possibly another covid casualty.

First problem, it's 11AM.
That's like going to a bar at 11AM .... oh wait, disregard that, this is the Villages.
Second issue would be what movie it was.
That being said, other than when they do $5 tickets and/or it's a rainy day the place is generally not busy except for the first few days of a major release. Even before the Pandemic, we went a couple times late afternoon and there were barely enough people there to fill all the stall in the restrooms if they all went at once. All that plus my TV is big enough to sit 6 feet away and get almost the same experience. The sound isn't quite as good, but good enough.
