My take on this, is probably more due to changing viewing habits and technology improvements.

Its one thing to watch A New Hope on a 15" TV with a 4:3 aspect, and quite another on a 60" 16:9 aspect TV with a sound bar (or 5.1 speaker setup)

There's really no reason to go to a movie with what we have at home, and given how people seem less polite/considerate in theaters. I'd rather pay a king's ransom to take my family to the movies.
I saw an advertisement for TV’s earlier (forgot the brand). They started at 48” and went up to 80”. That’s just obscene! It’s like the cinema is in your lounge.

Oh yes black and white TV’s. Or those green and black computer screens. All CRT’s of course!
