Oh, you're probably right. Aw, but I like movie theaters! I haven't had that bad an experience of late, but there's always one movie out of ten where someone is horribly rude and uncouth. Those people aside, there's nothing like sitting in the dark with popcorn and having a shared experience. Funny movies are funnier with an audience. Moving ones are more moving.

With the popping of "Bubble," I wonder what that means for the simulatenous release process? I don't think the cinemas are going to go for it, but maybe that's going to bite them in the end.
