A staggering amount of fan piracy is happening at ‘Wicked,’ the latest blockbuster that represents an interesting turn in moviegoing behavior.

    “Something has happened post-pandemic where movie theater behavior has really changed,” said one top film executive, speaking on the condition of anonymity. The executive is referring to the younger audiences who have become more emboldened to share this lengthy material from the sanctity of the cineplex, where phones are supposed to be banned.

    I don’t think this “top film executive” has been in a public movie theater for at least 10 years.

      Yeah, young people saw that the veils of society are a sham, that no one is looking out for them, and that Corporations have free rein to do whatever they want, to whomever they want.

      You don’t blame the kids, you blame the political machinery that allowed our culture to reject social norms. And that’s been happening since before the pandemic.
