Hollywood is in a bit of a crisis right now. Not only are recent films largely consisting of sequels, derivatives, and reboots, mostly for the Chinese market. But Box Office sales have continued to decline more and more as people grow tired of paying for an overpriced ticket to see yet another overly political, overly safe, copy-cat dreck. Netflix, and other streaming services have began gaining ground in their original productions from films and TV shows. Allowing people to watch what they want, whenever they want, all at a relatively affordable subscription fee.
That being said, I believe there is still a large market for public entertainment centers like theaters. Going out with friends and have special catering for entertainment with impressive displays and sound, is an experience that simply staying at home can't quite replicate. The problem is that the traditional theater system is simply archaic in an era of binge watching and consumer choice. Here's an idea, what if the movie and entertainment industry can combine the social contact and catering that brick & mortar locations provide, with the consumer freedom and choice that streaming services allow? Think of a public place where you can rent a room with Netflix for a small fee. Said room has a large 4k monitor, and comfortable seating. Maybe it could also double as a sort of restaurant as well, selling burgers or salads while you watch. And from there you can watch whatever you want, as much as you want, until you're ready to leave. Anything from movies, to TV shows that you choose.
I feel this would be a better business model than the current movie theater system we have now. It preserves the social elements and high quality catering that current theaters are known for, but also gives the consumer more freedom and value for the price. Spending $10-20 for a room to binge movies in 4k with some restaurant food would sound a lot more appealing to consumers than spending $15 on one ticket to one movie, with the best food available being popcorn and other junk food.
