I've been wondering about the future of the exhibitors in the face of streaming content and the competition for eyeballs with all the new tech.
I see there are some industry watchers on the site.
Any thoughts?
Cinema has no future!

Are 100 million dollar features going out with it?
A increasing number of theaters have their films streamed via satellite to projectors automatically with no one ever in the booth. This combined with the poor projection, lowering of bulb brightness, non-removal of 3D lenses, lack of quality control, and absolutely piss poor sound has signed the death warrant of theatrical exhibition as we know it. Few theaters still have 4K resolution, and even then it is almost always possible to have a better presentation at home with a BD for $10-20.

Film will be no longer used everything will be cgi and shot on 2D or 3D video.
Over a hundred years of cinema R.I.P.
Like someone else said there is no future unless videogamey movies are your thing.

That is if you think 3-D is here to stay other than a few high profile movies shot in the format i am not convinced. I am not taking about converting movies shot traditionally which are like 90% of all movies already in existence.

Absolutely i agree with this statement. I saw Dark Knight Rises in theaters and it looked like shit, and i am sure the less than twenty dollar blu ray after discount will look considerably better, because they had the projector bulbs dimmed and the picture focus was overly soft. The music and surrounds muffled as if incorrectly installed or calibrated. I wanted to go into the booth and punch the fool out who was in charge.
