As of May 2022, around 55 percent of adult internet users surveyed in the United States said a major reason why they rarely or never went to the movies was that they were more interested in watching films at home. The most mentioned minor reason, cited by 34 percent of respondents, was a lack of interest in the movies in theaters. Almost four out of five interviewees stated that concerns with the COVID-19 pandemic were not a reason at all. The number of movie tickets sold in the U.S. and Canada in 2021 amounted to only 40 percent of the figure recorded in 2019, before the coronavirus outbreak.
