And I don't have a nationwide perspective, so it might be different elsewhere, but every theater I've been to over the past decade or so has been slowly converging on that model.

When does it converge into a home theater in someone’s house where you can just drink/stream what you want?

Well, I'm not gonna lie, I'm already doing that an order of magnitude more often than going to a movie theater. But then again, maybe that supports the point - now that huge TVs are so common, is there anyone who wanted to watch movies at home that wasn't already doing it in 2019?

Probably never. People like to go out for the experience. You might as well ask when pubs will converge into people just drinking in their kitchens.
