What About the Movies: Exploring Cinema's Place in a World Full of Screens, Streams and Smartphones Cody Benjamin

Two journalists raised at the dawn of a never-offline culture explore this question (and a whole lot more) in "What About the Movies?" Serving as both a tribute to cinema and an exploration of its future, it features original reporting - including dozens of interviews with theater owners, industry executives and moviegoers - as well as discussions on everything from movie snacks to the explosion of superhero films.
