I remember back in the 80s they were worried that Premium Cable stations (HBO, Showtime) and VHS rentals would be the end of movie theaters, but they survived many due to the "theater experience". The audience can make a funny movie funnier or a scary movie scarier, and some movie like LoTR has to be seen on a big screen.
Drive-in are making comebacks in rural areas here in TN, I know of 2 that opened in the past few years. The first time I saw Jaws was at a drive-in...awesome!!
