How 'The Matrix' helped build-and break-beleaguered production company Village Roadhouse
Briefly

Village Roadshow, a renowned production company responsible for blockbuster films like The Matrix and Ocean's 11, has filed for bankruptcy following years of dwindling box office success.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the film industry, leading to a shift in viewing habits and ultimately contributing to the company's financial struggles and its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.

"The company’s decline can largely be traced back to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, altering viewer habits and the box office landscape significantly."
