Plus, I don't get bent over for food and drink and no annoying people. It's exclusive content that keeps the theaters alive, not the screens and sound. If people had equal choice they will choose to stay in, like we are seeing in many other industries. Heck look at the live sporting experience attendance is down because costs to attend are up, the crowds you sit around are not enjoyable, and frankly the at home experience is better. The same will happen to Movies once the "blackout" is lifted.

Not everybody has a 70 inch tv. Hell, some of the town's I work in don't even have high speed internet going to half the residents. 

Personally, I've got a decent home theater set up but I still prefer going to the theater. Because they've got exclusive stuff? No,I can stream most of it onafirestick. Because the food is great,or the sound? No. I go because I like going to the movies. 

Maybe I just like complaining about overpriced popcorn or small parking spaces. Or maybe it's just nice to have an excuse to get out of the house, turn off the phone and not have someone interrupt me every five minutes.
