"However, the movie industry has been through this before. The arrival of the television, the VCR, and the DVD were all predicted to kill the movie theater at one point or another, but it never happened"
None of these or future external influences will kill movie theatres, they will kill them selves by offering an ever declining user experience and an ever expanding cost. Has anyone been to a movie theatre lately, the screens sizes are pathetic, barely justifying the term "On The Big Screen", you can hear the movie playing in the theatre next door on occasion and for this lowering of the user experience ticket prices continue to grow exponentially. Eventually a tipping point will be reached when people decide the experience doesnt justify the cost.
