If anything, that part of the movie experience will only get worse over time. We're becoming a less polite society and there's little that can be done to combat that trend.
I am not sure that is the issue. I think the issue is the rise of mobile phones, which makes it easy to get distracted during movies and much of the problem comes from mobile phones. talking in movies and babies have been an issue since I was a kid.

However I believe movies, as a date night, will continue to provide a big enough draw that theaters will have a place in the market for years to come.
me too.
But I would love a model for home viewing of new releases. I think piracy is probably the bigger hurdle at the moment, how can you deliver it without someone stealing the stream/recording it and then posting it.
They could easily impelement a webcam model on a roku to count number of people watching and charge accordingly.

I think they may be more worried about cannibalization of movie sales. It's not like they can do a head count before showing the movie at someone's home so they probably have to target an average audience size. The experimentation they've done has been around the $60 price point IIRC. That price may be fine for a family or a group of friends, but why would a couple or a single person pay that much of a premium for home viewing?
