"OK, raise your hand if the reason you don't go to movies is because the screens aren't big and bright enough."
I'm probably in the minority, but I actually don't go to the cinema if I know the film is being shown in a small auditorium. It doesn't matter what the type of film is, I want to see it on a medium or large screen. I hate walking into an auditorium only to find a tiny screen - it ruins the whole experience for me. You also pay the same ticket price as the cinemagoers watching a different film in a much larger auditorium (with bigger screen).
I realise that cinemas can't fill their larger auditoriums with certain films, but some of the smaller auditoriums I've sat in have screens not much bigger than what a home projector will give you. Unfortunately, a lot of indpendent cinemas have some of the smallest screens I've seen. I'd rather wait for the DVD than pay for a paltry screen experience.
So yes, for me at least, a bigger screen, and a brighter picture does influence whether or not I would go to the cinema.
