Ask HN: Are Midnight Screenings Dead?

The Matrix Resurrections tickets went on sale today and no theaters in the city I'll be in (Portland, OR) are having a midnight showing. I love the camaraderie developed in line for a midnight release. The whole theater feels electric. I'm a bit bummed this won't be the case for this new Matrix. Feels like a hugely missed opportunity. Is it an artifact of COVID-times, the fact that this is simultaneously released on HBO or something else?
