What that sounds like is a party room that comes with a wide screen entertainment system. What might make that work would be a system where you can group up with people you are more connected to, not complete strangers.

It already works. There are lots of local independent cinemas like this.

My understanding is that their economics have been tenuous, especially if they're trying to compete with commercial theater-like AV technology.

What I'd love to see would be group-buys at local theaters, with the entire catalog of film at pre-negotiated prices.
