Also some interesting comments on people watching movies on their 
smartphones as compared seeing it in a theater.  Locally folks have been 
protesting the demolition of the remaining art house complex which 
includes a dome theater which was one of the earliest stadium theaters 
in the area.  This was the place I called "the barn" because the largest 
side auditorium was like one.  There were 5 screens there and the dome 
screen was even curved.  The original owners built a 16 screen multiplex 
in a new shopping center across the freeway from the 5 screen one about 
12 years ago.  They then dedicated the old complex to foreign and 
independent films.  It was very popular with the nearby retirement 
community.  However the old shopping center it was located had two 
owners. The owner on the north end renovated and Kohl's went in where 
there had been an abandoned Montgomery Wards store.  The south end owner 
refused to renovate even thought the theater chain wanted to do so.  Now 
yet another sporting goods store is going in as if the area needs 
another one.
