As a result, several industries have started to mutate in an attempt to survive the change. One of the industries in question is the movie theater business and Hollywood.

Cineworld – the company that owns Regal- has been open about its monetary woes as they inch closer to bankruptcy. It's safe to say that the movie industry needs a hero.

Last weekend, Spider-Man: No Way Home returned to the top of the box office as millions of moviegoers celebrated National Cinema Day and the Labor day weekend.
