About this episode
It’s been a rough few years for movie theaters, and the dismal start to the summer blockbuster season hasn’t helped.

Matt Belloni, host of “The Town,” joins The Post’s Alyssa Rosenberg and Chris Suellentrop to talk about what’s going on with the movies and what, if anything, will get people out of their living rooms and into theaters.
