maybe it's me, but I don't see the hype, and I don't think most people are tech aficionados to notice or care
The only movie on the big screen that ever wowed me was Avatar in 3D...everything else I would have been just as happy with on my 50 inch 4k or blu ray

I hate watching movies at home. I get too tempted to check my phone or go on the computer or something. I like no distractions and just zoning out in a theater

The other poster's analogy is correct. The popularity of arcades and movie theaters are on a similar trajectory for pretty much the same reasons; cost/benefit + convenience.
And most movies aren't shown on an imax theater nor is there really an "experience" being missed here. Most people really do see their 4K (and in some cases 8k) TV's as being serviceable in producing the same enjoyment.
If that was the case IMAX wouldnt even exist and wouldnt be so successful. There is reason why folks spend more money to go to IMAX vs a regular theater. The experience is superior thats why. Not to mention the social aspects of movies. Date night, night out with friends, family outings etc. Just cause you may not enjoy socializing doesnt mean others dont.
And most people are not watching anything in 4k and dont even have a basic surround sound system.
Cineworld to close all UK and US venues putting thousands of jobs at risk
World’s second-biggest cinema chain to close 536 US theatres and 127 UK sites amid Covid-19 crisis
Britain’s biggest cinema chain, Cineworld, is to shut all its UK and US venues, putting up to 5,500 jobs in Britain at risk, after the latest James Bond movie was delayed into next year.
Cineworld, which owns the Regal cinema and Picturehouse chains, is understood to be preparing to announce plans to close all its 127 theatres in the UK as soon as Monday. It is also closing all its 536 Regal cinemas in the US. Cineworld employed 37,000 people globally before the pandemic, with 5,500 in the UK.
Its cinema in Dublin, its only venue in Ireland, had to close due to tightened Covid-19 restrictions two weeks ago, and it seems unlikely it will reopen. The planned closures will leave Cineworld with 123 cinemas across eastern Europe and Israel, where it hopes to keep venues open as those countries are benefitting from lighter coronavirus restrictions and local movies.
The premiere of the new 007 flick, No Time To Die, has been twice postponed, from April when cinemas were shuttered to 12 November, and now to April 2021, in a big blow to the cinema industry.
The company, the world’s second-biggest cinema operator, has written to Boris Johnson and the culture secretary, Oliver Dowden, this weekend to warn them that the industry has become “unviable”.
