I would agree with this point JR makes. It's the blockbuster movies that will keep theaters around. Although video and dvd's are nice, there is nothing like watching a movie on the big screen with all the flash and booming sound. Spiderman just isn't the same on dvd, and I believe most people will never have home theater systems. ie: (one day I found my big speakers, which were on the TV/VCR/DVD/Stereo, in the garage .... the wife said they took up too much room......!......)
