"For theater owners and studios, the technology could be a lifesaver, luring people back to multiplexes for an experience that cannot be matched by sophisticated home-theater systems or stolen by pirates with hidden camcorders."

You mean they're going to eliminate ringing cell phones, ads before the movie (I paid for the movie, not the ads), and people talking/screaming through the movie? Those are the top 3 reasons I don't go to movies anymore. It's so much easier to wait for the movie to come to video and watch it then. And yes, it's a lot cheaper too, especially considering that it doesn't just cost me $10. It costs me $20 (wife and I) and then if the movie totally blows, I'm out $20 and 2 hours. If we rent a movie that stinks, we can turn it off and we're only out $3.

I may not have a massive theater screen (50" HDTV) or an awesome sound system (we use the built-in speakers), but it beats listening to people talk through a movie or answer their cell phone any day.
