I also don't have any of those issues at home. Relative screen size is comparable (probably bigger at home, in terms of viewing angle). No annoying people at all. Snacks cost supermarket-prices. I also don't have to travel there and back at specific times, can pause to pee, good stuff!

Movies may be a few weeks or months later, but who cares. If anything I got a backlog to still watch anyway. I can no longer see any advantage to going to a cinema.

I think that's who they lost- casual viewers. The die hards still go but the casual viewers just simply prefer the home setup. I count myself very much in that due to all the reasons you listed.
