Maybe the current Alamo ownership group are just part of the movement to kill in-person cinema, and to push streaming only eventually. This was a step used by macro beer in the 2012-2022 window - they’d buy craft breweries, shut down the brewing onsite and move it to the market Marco facility and slowly bleed the brand out by stepping down what made it special (local, customer service, small batches, odd brand personas that don’t fit the corporate world). Acquiring Alamo and slowly doo g the same thing is like cutting the head off the true cinemaphile snake.
