This would be the death knell for theater companies; but the only thing that would get me back in the theaters is:
For the theaters to be the majestic buildings they once were with ample room in each seat, maybe a rocking seat, excessively padded, with screens that were many multiples of the size of my TV screen at home, possible as large as CINERAMA screens were, or 70mm screens, you know...... where we all watched Ben Hur and those chariots come straight toward us, or we all watched a certain nun lead a group of children in song, or even later, when we saw Han Solo drive his vehicle through those asteroids.
But those are all gone now. The buildings are built to hold as many mini-theaters as they can possibly hold, the screens are barely bigger than what you can buy at home(if you got the big bucks), people's cell phones are either vibrating or ringing, the places stink, the seats are the size of coach fare airline seats, and sadly; there have been but a handful of movies that I rank as being impressive enough to have been seen in a theater (Avatar is an example, as is Titanic.... go James Cameron),
Anyway, that's how I fell about the industry.... I don't think my wish will ever happen as it is too costly.
So I see the theater industry going the way of coal and the video rental store.
