For anyone with a 4k TV, a good speaker system, and a way to download full 1080+ movies, why the fuck would you bother watching garbage in (forced) 3D, at lower resolution and blurred background?
It's seriously so much better by an unbelievable margin. The only reason I go to the theater now is
A. a friend invited me
B. date night with the wife and she just HAS to see Beauty and the Beast
C. I want to support intellectual property like Dredd or a high fantasy work(lotr) so they will make more.
C is why we should be going to the movies. However it is still dominated by the 13-19 year old demographic, therefore the movies with the most funding (targeting that audience for maximum profit) are shallow action movies with lots of breasts and explosions, WBesque stupid and implausible love stories, and shit from childrens media (comics, books, shows, games). Though Marvel/Disney are making them entertaining.

They fucked up Alien for the 5th time. Don't underestimate the power of stupidity.

Bingo.
On top of that, the picture quality in theaters is not even that great (not enough to justify the hassle of going there); the whole movie distribution model is flawed, or at least outdated.
That, and they keep coming up with really shitty movies.
