I think it's already so fragmented and only getting worse that it's doomed.

That was the last, or second to last movie I saw in a theater, only went because my dad wanted to see it.

But when I think about it, not wanting to see anything, I suspect many of you are like me. I don't watch TV, I don't read the news paper, so I don't see any any ads for movies anyway. (do they still run movie ads in the paper?) The only place I might see an ad for a movie is Youtube, where I mute and don't watch ANY of the commercials, so even if there were movies I might be interested in, I wouldn't know it.
