Given how inexpensive reasonably-good home theaters have become, how expensive theaters have become, and how one has no control over the theater experience (bad projection, too loud, talking, etc), this is only going to happen more. I think Hollywood is doomed, even with draconian laws on their side. Good content has been made online, and it's just getting started. I agree with the GP that simplifying and democratizing the funding would help, but so will new film makers realizing good is absolutely not synonymous with expensive (and is often contradictory).
