In looking at the situation _today_, cinema is doing extremely well, and one cannot replicate the experience at home, unless you have a wall-sized projection screen, a huge room, and a load of friends over for every film---in which case you just built yourself a cinema anyway.

That's garbage to think that! If you had been around in the mid-80's you would know that cinema was barely making a profit and keeping their heads above water. You would also realize that people don't care that much about the whole cinema experience when they can enjoy it at home, in the peace of their own surroundings. Think about it. >You cannot bootleg a cinema experience.
