It doesn't help that most movies (these days? Always?) are not worthy of attention.

45 years old here. I usually go to the theater for a proper appreciation of the movies (big screen, no solicitations). Last movie I saw was Charlie Chaplin's City lights. Downloaded it for my kids (the exact kind of public for this film). They stayed in front of the TV set for 15 minutes before wanting to play yet another game of Hearthstone. Shame...

Yes, shame! That film is wonderful.

I see that as a pure contextual behaviour. Let's say I switch Internet off and let them watch the same movie, and they will stay focused during the whole 87 minutes.
