A recent NY Times article examines a growing trend of converting movie houses into nonprofit organizations, drawing on case studies in the US and Europe. Traditional cinemas face unprecedented challenges in adapting to changing viewer preferences and financial pressures, making nonprofit conversions an intriguing potential solution. The article argues that while the switch to nonprofit status can come with its own setbacks, such as providing access rather than simply being entertaining, it offers opportunities for community-building initiatives and accessibility to people of all backgrounds through reduced-price admissions. Ultimately, nonprofitization allows cinemas to offer the cinema experience to the greater good, and operate a more sustainable model long-term.
