Malls in areas with lots of rich people in the surrounding area will be able to find replacement tenants for the numbers of stores on the decline to bankruptcy. Tysons corner probably won't be hurt that badly. But the rents are the issue. As the millenials population grows with their on-line devices with streaming capabilities overtakes the declining numbers of oldsters who grew up going to movie houses and still prefer to sit in a theatre, there just isn't enough cash generated to meet the increasing expenses of running the theatres in the high rent districts. You would have to have a neverending day-in day-out showing of new blockbusters to accomplish that 365 days of the year.
Here is the list of mall stores throwing in the towel at present:

If you are still into mall REITS, I would not be hanging on to those much longer.
