It could perhaps lead to the revival of the vaunted mid-budget movie.
I would love that! I'm rarely interested in the blockbusters anymore. I sat through a couple of superhero movies a few years ago that seemed like the exact same plot with different characters. It was boring. With low-budget movies, you have to be very creative to make it work, which is great when it does work! Mid-budget movies seem to be a sweet spot where you can't rely too much on fancy visual effects and a bunch of highly-paid actors, but you can have a little of each, and with some creativity make a really memorable and entertaining film.
FWIW, in PA they closed down all non-essential businesses and intend to enforce it starting this weekend and one of the things cleared to remain open is automobile part stores, manufacturing, etc....

I agree with everything you've said here. In live in LA where not only do we have really nice theaters where you can even take your booze into the theater with you or even have dinner, and there over-18 screenings of all films if you want, but we have all the crazy extras like IMAX, 3D, IMAX 3D, and D-Box (where your seat moves around and rumbles and stuff). It's still not worth it to me for most movies. Plus there's so much great content on streaming services. It doesn't matter if Netflix or HBO can't produce 52 movies a year. When they produce several great series, I'm just as entertained for less money and with less hassle.

It's a bad, bad time to be a theater right now.
