There are movies worth seeing that premiere at the theater. Unfortunately, the major studios other than Disney / Marvel are premiering most of them on streaming services. That's how the industry has evolved.
That said, two major movies I've seen in the past month that I loved were: Karate Kid - Legends (100% clean enough for kids over 8) and The Amateur with Rami Malek (more violent but not raunchy in any way). Both had terrific plots, acting, visuals, direction, dialog and more.
Most of the movies I have loved in the past year, however, have been of smaller scale but still worth seeing in the theaters. One that is still there is "Raising the Bar", totally excellent and held over at Old Mill four extra weeks for positive word of mouth. Others we've seen and loved include: White Bird; Bonhoeffer; Tyson's Run; and The Forge.

I can't image how theaters can stay open with the junk that's out there.
It seems they all went to streaming and even those are questionable.
And what happen to all the good actors/actresses these days.
I think this train was derailed around 2023 or since covid.
The last movie I paid to see in a theater was the last release of Top Gun.
