Repertory cinemas witness significant growth in classic movie showings, with a 75% increase this year.
Theatrical re-releases of older and recent films are attracting large audiences, with classic movies and recent releases like "The Babadook" and "Shaun of the Dead" making anniversary runs. Repertory cinema has expanded from arthouse cinemas to mainstream multiplexes, with Fathom Events reporting a 75% increase in classic movie showings this year. The appeal of older films is attributed to the desire for a unique viewing experience that differentiates from watching at home, as theatrical releases have not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels.
