My speculation: the movie theater, like the non-movie theater (for distinction I'll use "play house"), will always exist. However, the density of movie theaters will decrease. Previously most small towns had a movie theater but not a play house. Similarly, movie theaters will likely only exist in the downtown or perhaps a large mall of a densely populated location. Movie theaters will likely continue their trend to become more expensive, i.e. alcoholic drinks, food, etc. basically become a decent restaurant/bar with an amazing AV experience.
