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.

Ithink you are a little out of touch. Most people in life are happy with "good enough". If you have an 80" screen at home with a sound bar and sub, that's good enough. I have a 96" screen and 5.1 sound, and I honestly don't care that a theatre is a little better than my setup. They usually have the volume to loud anyway.
I don't find the rest of the "experience" to be a net positive at all. Lines, no pausing for bathroom or snack breaks, bombardments of commercials, the other patrons with phones, talking, kicking seats, eating popcorn out of their hats, no booze, expensive, mystery seat goo...ugh, it's just so aweful. I'd much rather be at home.
