In 2044: Do you think people will actually leave their house to go see a movie?


And then discuss.

As long as by then houses have their own nacho cheese dispensers and skill cranes then there will really be no need to ever go to a movie theater again.

I think by 2044, it'll be a fairly niche activity. Most people won't go. Most multiplexes will be long gone. But there will be smaller cinemas for smaller crowds reviving the classics -- Barbie 5, Wonka: Part 6, Terrifier XI -- for people who want to see them on the big screen

The asteroid will hit Earth by then.

I don’t think that people will actually leave their house at all.

I’d rather not.

How sad - people need to get out and mingle with others. Occasionally I have days when I don't leave my house, but those are rare and even if I don't have anything to do, I'll find a reason to get out.

I love going to a movie theater with a huge screen, overpriced popcorn and beverages. I recently took my grandson to go see The Wild Robot at a theater that serves food at your seat and we had a blast - simply not the same experience at home.

I don't know.

Highly unlikely I will.

However, I can't imagine young people not going out to the movies. YOu're young, dating, hanging with your crew, doing your thing.

Dinner/movie or Movie/dinner - whichever order you like. Big part of being young.

I couldn't imagine my youth without "Hey let's go to the movies!".

I could see the niche theaters still being around. Indy theaters and revival houses are still fun to attend and the audiences are usual fellow film lovers.

I dont do that now!

I'll be 78 in 2044 and either dead or unable to go to the movies anymore and live as a hermit with my 450 Blu Ray/DVD's
