Do you guys (and gals) think that movie theaters will be around forever, or do you think that they will eventually die off with the domination of streaming services and VR, etc.

Earlier, I went to see Toy Story 4 (really good btw). I expected there to be noise since the theater was packed with young kids, but that didn't bother me. Some guy sat next to me who must have been 6' 5" at least, and weighed no less than 350 easy. Within about 30 minutes he fell asleep and started snoring. His wife woke him up, and then he went back to sleeping again, and snoring. Towards the last 40 min of the movie, he woke up and decided to finish off his slurpee and made that irritating slurping straw noise when the liquid is scarce.

After I left I don't know if I'll ever go to a theater again; something like this seems to happens every time I go. I think I saw a great movie, but it was hard to tell with all of the annoyance and anger I was experiencing for an hour and a half.

Anyway, regardless of my isolated incident, from a tech/business point of view do you think theaters will last, or do you think VR and streaming will fully take over?
