I also agree with that. I have Netflix and I get it for $9 a month. That is the same price as going to the theatre for one person. Why would I want to go to a theatre when my friends can come over where it is cheaper and opionally more fun?

I guess this question kind of goes beyond the bounds of the thread, but it's a subject I'm interested in so waht the hell...

Not withstanding that movies take quite some time to go from theaters to Netflix (if they even make it at all), there is something to be said for the theater experience IMO.

Going to the theater, sitting in the seats, seeing the huge projection screen, watching previews, sitting through the credits, all of that is still important to me.

There are a couple of boutique theaters in my town and I'll frequently catch screenings of old movies there. Even movies that I have on BluRay or movies that are available on streaming. 

The experience is valuable to me in a way that sitting at home and watching NetFlix is not. It's hard to explain. 

Plus imagine taking that chick on a first date!  " are we going cinema", "nah babe we Netflix n chilling"! She would be like wtf dude I'm out. Or maybe she would be DTF who knows.
