Yes, movie theater going probably will become a niche activity, but not until the current superhero spectacular trend ends. These movies are made for viewing in large auditoriums with huge screens and dozens of speakers. The gap between home entertainment systems and movie theaters continues to narrow and special effect ladened movies are the last movies that still are solidly on the movie theater side of the gap. Once that burns out, even if home entertainment systems never catch up with movie theaters, there won't be much left to keep most of the theaters in business.
