Hah! Looks like no one in Hollyweird has a working brain. That means things will get worse and worse till all the local Bijous are shuttered up across the fruited plain.
Big malls plus half the private entrepeneneur stores in strip malls plus family restaurants are already closed or are in trouble, why not the movie theaters on Main Streets?
The economic depression we're in, high prices for viewing only one film with commercials, conservative boycotts, a current latent fear of being in crowds or out late at night....plus moronic films being ground out by the dozens to pander to teen-age boys, dating couples and adolescent males in the twenty-to-forty five age group who still get their kicks from Spiderman.
No one wants to go out after dinner any more like we did in a bygone era. There's too much entertainment of all kinds at our fingertips at home....with popcorn only a couple cents a bowl.
Big box theaters will disappear soon, although new concepts in movie-watching will be innovated (not necessarily involving the computer at all) for watching at home or in settings not thought of before.

They need to go all-in on 3D. They have to offer something you can’t get at home.
