My Alamos might be saved after all. Sony bought the existing theaters from the bankruptcy court and is trying to hire back the employees that were let go. They also plan to give the former employees a settlement for the funds they never received.

Between Sony buying Tame Impala’s catalog and him giving them glowing reviews, to this, is Sony becoming a less evil empire?

Corporations are not your friend.
Yes but sometimes they can do good things:
Anyone owed ticket refunds due to the sudden closing by the previous owner will be receiving an email with free ticket vouchers good for up to a year. Anyone who hasn’t received their previously purchased INSIDE OUT 2 Lunchbox or DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Collector’s Glass will be able to pick these up upon their theater reopening.
Additionally, if you were a Season Pass member, you can look forward to a FREE month of Season Pass* to help you catch up on all the awesome movies you’ve been missing.
We are also committed to supporting former DFW teammates. Anyone who was adversely affected during the franchisee’s closings, will receive a bonus in lieu of compensation for lost wages owed prior to the closures and first access to interviews for open positions.
Please be sure to keep an eye on your inbox and spam folder for more details coming your way soon. You can also check back here and follow our socials for the exact date that your local Alamo Drafthouse will be open again. Until then, just know how much we appreciate your support and your passion. You truly are the greatest guests a little cinema-eatery from Austin could ever ask for.
See you at the movies!

ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE IS COMING BACK TO DFW
After the sudden closure of our Lake Highlands, Richardson, Cedars, Las Colinas, and Denton locations by their former franchise owner, we are thrilled to announce that we have officially purchased and plan to reopen all five of the DFW-area theaters! We’ll be opening them back up in rapid succession as each theater is ready, so they won’t open all at once. On top of that, we’ll be offering discounts and promotions during each theater’s Grand Reopening that we’ll be able to reveal very soon.Anyone owed ticket refunds due to the sudden closing by the previous owner will be receiving an email with free ticket vouchers good for up to a year.

Chet Hanks' Filmography Buff
Horizon was an amorphous blob but I am totally gonna watch Chapter 2.
Now seated for Kinds of Kindness. Very excited, my number one most anticipated film of the year!
the second one being Despicable Me 4
ok, yea, that was a yorgos movie all right. guess i had really high expectations for it, but also knew that a three-part movie like this one would have been a hit-or-miss. it’s definitely not a miss, but not just quite the home-run hit i was wanting.
jesse plemons definitely carries this one, very good on him.
not sure if a second watch will make me like it more. maybe it will, we’ll see. but at least for now i like it enough

Bloody Disgusting treated Chicago to a free early screening of Longlegs.
It's a lot of fun, and I'll leave it at that.

Wonder how that will impact the PlayStation. Didn’t see any mention of it at first glance
There has to be pretty good data that shows how badly the physical media decline has become for Sony to make this move. Disney also offloaded their physical media to Sony back in March. It may eventually get like how vinyl was in the late 90s and 00s. You'll still get some companies distributing it but it's going to keep becoming more niche.

I think also like vinyl it'll eventually circle back around to being more popular than ever. The streaming bubble has to burst at some point, and torrenting will get even crazier.
But really nothing beats just popping a disc into a player and not having to scourbthe internet for it.

Also, streaming still has its fair share of hiccups, even with a fast internet connection. When I pop in a disc, it just works.
EDIT: To be clear, I like having both, but at home I'll grab the disc if I have it mainly for this reason.
