Okay, so despite Dwane Johnson, I can see how Baywatch could be an unmitigated garbage fire. However, with Javier Bardem on the cast I'm a little reluctant to say Pirates is that bad. (Maybe I'm wrong - I like the Pirates thing.)
That said, maybe people are just sick of going to the theaters?
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?

Personally for me it's between the stuff that you listed and the fact that I just can't get excited for another remake/reboot/sequal/prequal. Original movies are so rare these days and they never get the hype that these types of movies get. I always have to remind myself that Hollywood isn't in it to make good movies they're in it to make money and these types of movies are sadly a safer bet that they are always more willing to take.
Last two movies I saw in a theatre were Minority Report and LoTR 3 (can't remember which order). Inconvenient, uncomfortable, always end up next to someone I'd rather not sit next to (or even near). Also ridiculously expensive and most movies are crap anyway. I don't miss it one bit. Feh.
I don't know about that. About a decade ago my town only had 3-4 small theaters playing new releases now there's close to 10 nearly half of them being big mutiplexes. They're always packed providing there's a popular film out. Instead of dying like everyone claims they seem to be taking over.
Don't forget being at risk of being blown bits to award a sexually deprived muslim of his 72 virgins or shot by some crazy nigger or stabbed by a lonely middle-aged white man in the name of god.
