I also blame how that people are probably tired of brainless summer blockbuster movies. Just look at the massive bombings of THE ISLAND and STEALTH, each cost around $125 million or so.
I saw both of those, becaue I like brainless summer blockbuster movies. True they weren't even the greatest of that group of movies but some people like to go to movies for two hours of empty fun.
As for the article, god I hope theaters don't go away, I'll never be able to afford a screen that big, and I love the experiance of going to the movies with large crowds. I love going early to get a seat like a geek, I like the roaring laughter - like when I saw
Undercover Brother and I missed at least three jokes because the laughter was so loud, I like the oos and ahs and screams not to mention the little moments that only happen at the theater. Like the thirty year old man wimpering like a school girl during
The Ring 2- hell actually that was the best part of the movie, or when (granted this was a long time ago) when there was a preview for
Strange Days and Ralph Fiennes is going through the "I'm your priest" speil and he says "have you ever jacked in?" someone down in front yells "Have you ever jacked off?". That happened years ago and I still remember it, I'll never tire of the theater and in fact they can pretty much count on me to be there every weekend.
