I think depp did something to earn the ire of sjw's, so as usual, they are predicting the demise of everything remotely related to him.
Who wants to wait in lines, pay far too much, eat shitty ridiculously overpriced food, sit in very uncomfortable seats, be forced to watch a fuck ton of advertisements, and listen to people chew and talk through a movie when you can have a better experience with all of that (for much less money and time - remember you have to travel to the theater and park and all) in your own home?
I do like Imax. Usually exceptional sound and resolution. The seats in the Imax theater used to be better than in the Digital or regular theaters. The electric control reclining comfy seats they have now are much nicer.

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.
