Last movie I saw in theaters was a markedly worse image than what I get at home: overly dark (2D->3D lens?), yet still some scenes washed out to white. My 1080p DLP projector onto a 10' white vinyl screen seated ~5' away is better than any picture I've paid for in the last 5 years. Though, I haven't seen an IMAX in a long time: the sheer field-of-view and bulb intensity are unmatchable in my house.
Audio at the theater was better, but I haven't invested much beyond a 2.0 setup.
At $11/ticket (pretty normal around here), the break-even point is ~200 movies. You have to B-Y-O-BluRay but at least you can rewatch those for free.
EDIT: oh and I don't have to smell buttery nacho cheese from the person sitting next to me, and fight over the cupholder
