I'm not justifying bootlegging of current releases. I am just asking how much does it affect the theater owner?
I was told that it takes money away from theaters. Studios yes, but I don't know that it affects theaters (who get their all of their revenue from other sources like concessions and video games in the lobby).
Somehow I doubt that actual theater owners would invite a bunch of pirates to enter the theaters with cameras under the pretext of getting more popcorn sales from them.
