There is always something to watch on Netflix (or Amazon Prime or even YouTube). Over the weekend, my wife and I saw "Aviator" - the Howard Hughes movie. Movie came out 15 years ago but it was decent. Glad I didn't pay full price at the theater but definitely a nice movie to watch at home.
That's the thing about movies. You can see them 10, 20 even 50 years later. No need to see them soon as they come out. A good movie will always be a good movie. I'm still discovering movies from the 1960s (and earlier).
Also, home theater systems are getting more and more like the real thing. Not sure how much longer going to a theater will be a viable money-making business for the cinema owners. I've gone a few times but generally it is an unpleasant experience for various reasons. Much rather see a movie in my own home.
I agree on all points.
The other day, I found William Wyler’s “The Big Country” on Amazon Prime. Fine movie. At least as good as anything on the big screen today.
And I watched in on my new 65” 4K TV with my 7.1 surround sound home theater.
Why pay the big $$$ to watch a movie in a theater?
