Malls were being killed by big box complexes before Amazon was prevalent, but the one-two punch didn't do them any favors.
I see it as a combination of things...
Big box retailers.
Online sales.
People stopped going to movie theaters.
So what's the reason to go to a mall? Crappy food court food?
Right, there's got to be a good reason to go to the mall. The successful malls still draw crowds because they have more than just stores and a movie theater.
Successful malls have an Apple Store, Tesla, and Louis Vuitton, which tells us something about who can still afford to shop there.
