[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 14775004, member: 6727"] Mike, I have to agree with you about it being a stagnant business, but innovations are going to be really tough. IMO as home theater systems increase in numbers, more people will prefer to watch new movies from the comfort of their own homes. No long walks from the car to the theater entrance. No sticky floors. No dirty seats. Less money spent on the movie (and you can often view it again within a set time-frame), and your snack options are bigger and cheaper. And you don't have to deal with rude people talking. So yeah, I can easily see theaters ultimately disappear like the drive-ins did. There isn't, unfortunately, much existing theaters can do as far as innovations, though. If innovations were possible they would have tried them by now. I remember many years ago some theaters tried a dinner and a movie thing where a rear section was reserved for patrons who wanted a meal with their movie. Didn't work. I would predict within the next 10 years theaters will disappear. Or most of them will. JMO. [/QUOTE]
