Compared to last year's disappointments like Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel, this summer was terrific.
You can't say that when IM made ~$400 million and MoS made ~$300 (and those are just domestic numbers).
I check box office mojo every week, and I have noticed that a lot of movies this year, even the "successful" ones, haven't made as much as movies past.
I think everything people have said in this thread has had an affect...from a-hole theater goers to solid TV programming to rising ticket prices, etc. Not to mention that movies hit DVDs/rentals quicker and quicker these days.
I still prefer theaters, but the friends I used to go with the most don't live near me anymore. So now it takes something I am really dying to see to get me out and into a theater.

This. The biggest part, I believe, is ticket price with the inconvenience factor growing as ticket prices do. The more you have to pay, the less annoyance you feel you should have to put up with.
Theaters like iPic are growing in popularity for a reason. While tickets are definitely pricier, you get the convenience of restaurant food, extremely roomy and comfortable seating along with a no-bullshite tolerance policy where they will show someone the door with "Teh Quickness" for texting, talking or having their crying-arse baby bothering others.
