Re: Why are theaters doing so well dispite DVDs and home theater?

For many, going OUT to the movies is a social event. THere are many more people that choose to go to see first run movies as part of an entertaining evening out as a group, than those that that make the choice to be home alone with their rented dvd/video -- young people in particular.
Home theater is fine for movie viewing, and certainly can provide a better selection for the viewing experience, but as an all-encompassing group social event, it can leave something to be desired.

Dvds and home theater, like the early days of television, has an effect on the number of movie-goers, but will never seriously impact the social event status of the movie theater.(Not to mention the everpresent Hollywood advertising budget).
