You can drop about $800 on a great 1080p projector, screen, and a pair of AirPods that will give you better surround sound than most speaker systems will give you.

My projector screen takes up more of my vision than any movie theater screen I've ever seen except IMAX.

People don't just go to the cinema for the image/audio quality. Most people go to meet friends.

That's kind of my point. You don't need to go for image/audio quality at all now. It's purely social, or to see something sooner.

Whereas it used to be very much about image and audio quality.

I'm sorry but airpods and a 1080p screen from your couch are on a different planet compared to theater sound and even liemax or smaller formats. You can't feel sound from an airpod in your chest.
