How much have you spent on it?
What special stuff have you done (i.e. special ceiling lighting, "stadium" seating, etc.)?'
Do you have home theater seating or standard coaches/chairs?

Not sure if I have a "true home theater" but have dedicated room with projector, screen, seating (couches) and surround. No lighting or other fanciness. Also, have no blacked out the walls around the screen with felt but considering it. Will probably be adding mini fridge and popcorn machine/microwave in near future. I have tower speakers for the fronts bc don't like in wall.
IIRC, electronics ran approx.
$2700 projector (Epson - forget model), screen and mount (Visual Apex Website package)
$1500ish receiver - Anthem
$2000ish speakers and wire - Paradigm (had sub)
$900ish Oppo BR
$100 Apple TV
about $300 odds and ends, wall plates, ceiling power for projector, fish tape, etc.
ETA - forgot power supply - don't remember cost.
Did the work myself, and it's awesome. Got quoted about $15k for similar setup professionally installed.

Yes. Home theater seating but it doesn't matter. Get something comfortable.
Spent a lot but I'm in the business so I get it cheaper and it's a demo room. Two 4' high racks filled with equipment. Room is 21' X 13'.
Lights and all equipment are controlled by an automation system. Screen triggers down when the processor turns on but that is no big deal really. It's just a 12v trigger.

We had a 110 inch projector with 7.1 klipsch surround sound and 7 theatre chairs set up as stadium seating. It was awesome but we moved, we still have the chairs but are trying to sell them.
The chairs alone were over 6k. The stereo equipment was about 6k. We also had a wet bar. It's just like any other home add-on it costs more than you realize.

I did a 110" screen with a decent Mitsubishi projector (waiting for 4k projectors to come down to buy that with all klipsch 7.2. Did two lazy boys in the front and a full couch in the back on a 8" raised platform. I guess all in I am at 14k. Nothing fancy in the room just 4 columns with sconce lights.

I did mine myself. Sony hd projector with 96 inch screen. Two 42 inch samsung tv's mounted on either side of screen so we can watch three games at once. No windows in room, walls painted dark purple, large wrap around couch. Mini fridge and popcorn maker. Bought most everything including all brackets for tv and projector as well as the screen. Paid a guy 500 bucks to hook it all up. Total set up was under 4500 bucks.

My old house had one, we used it about 5 or 6 times in the 4 years we lived there.
This was before kids so I would imagine it may be used more today if we had one.
I didn't build the home but if I had to put a price on the theatre i would guess around 50k.
