As first-run moviegoing continues to be dominated by tentpoles best seen on the most cutting-edge screen possible, older films seem to be making a real comeback at independently run cinemas.
I think one thing to keep in mind to go along with the chain subscription options (and stop me if I've mentioned this before) is that Movie Pass is trying to fill that gap again. Yes, they've hurt us in the past, but it's back under the original ownership which learned a lot from the debacle a few years ago. Most importantly, it's a subscription service that can work for small and non-chain theaters, and if it doesn't turn out to be a solution, I hope something like it steps in to fill the void.
