The movie theater I once worked at years ago closed for good recently. To anticipate longtime readers' follow up question, yes. It was the location notorious for high strangeness that's been featured on this blog before. But whether or not it really harbored ghosts, that defunct theater has joined other once-prominent institutions like the arcade and the mall among the specters of America's vanishing past.
The trouble in Britain isn't diversity in the audience as such it's crap films. At the moment my local multi-screen cinema has 8-9 films showing. Two are children's films, one is woke (Furiosa), one is a sequel (the fourth in that series) and the rest are either those weird Catholic-inspired horror films with nuns and crucifixes etc or single-showings of strange ethnic films. Furiosa was also released with virtually no press or media coverage which was odd.
Netflix et al are massive now but there is so much choice there is no unified popular option. Maybe diversity plus the internet are the end of mass society? If so how will countries hold together when so many occupants are foreigners?
Well, yes. We do have trouble with the 'New Britons' but in the backwaters such as where I live the diversity is via the never-ending adverts, films and TV series. No doubt we'll see more and more of them in person as well.
The newcomers don’t act like you and they don’t like you, but you’re not allowed to say anything. So you exit since you can’t use your voice.

The crap films are another symptom of diversity.
