As great as home theatres are, seeing a movie in a theatre is just a much better experience and a better product. No one has remotely the capabilities to reproduce the theater experience at home. Seeing a film like Aquaman on IMAX was such a treat and while I do still enjoy the film at home it doesn't compare to seeing it on the IMAX big screen. Add in the shared experience when you go to a theatre, sometimes when you go and have a great crowd watching a film it enhances the experience. I still remember walking out of The Dark Knight opening weekend and the buzz in the air as everyone in the theatre knew they witnessed something special or watching End Game last year and the cheers and gasps as that movie ended. This isn't Blockbuster vs Netflix as they were essentially selling the same product. But what do I know , maybe I'm out of touch and people prefer convenience to the best product, most people stream movies rather than watching them on Blu Ray or 4K.
