If they were to cut the cost per movie in half I would probably go once per month on average. I used to go twice per month before the costs tripled in my early twenties. That would increase their yearly revenue from me by 600%. Seems like a good business decision to me...
No, it's not: your case is not barely close to the target audience
there is noticeable difference from a 4K movie and a, let's say, 1080p? And the sound make very little difference (the bandwidth used for it is ridiculous, even with "mega-blaster" quality).
it's already happening: besides popular crap that full theater rooms, "authoral" (and general good) things makes empty rooms on theaters (in movies I generally go to the theaters to watch, normally was just few people in the session... I imagine some session are left empty...)
screaming kids, people getting up and squeezing out through the row of seats, and then back again later, and cell phones, and people talking, and telling their life story, along with narrating the film, people kicking the back of your seat, throwing popcorn . . .
It's all part of the movie magic! The theater experience.
the immersion in the picture is very different on theater and home: some pictures are barely-watchable outside of theaters (but, clearly it's a matter of taste...)
are useless for average home users. Netflix (and othe VOD providers) should charge a premium price for such features [that even use large amounts of internet bandwidth...] - problem solved.

So do alcohol: you are favor of prohibiting them? (Al Capone loves you!)
I'm a vegan berceuse of the global warming (which caused this tragedy) - you?
I use partly because of the "kids" thing: there are sessions that there's no kids (but, probably, will be old people sleeping and snoring...)
No, it's not: your case is not barely close to the target audience
in some theaters it happen here (in Brazil), on others don't: it's a theater-related thing (not a country-related thing)
going out? It's /. (people here normally don't get out of the basement...)
man, you are going to the wrong sessions...
I second that

More hipster shops! It's not enough yet?
there are some niche theaters, you know... "metropolitan" areas are full of them (god, how I miss São Paulo in that way... :P)
"quality" is very subjective here (it's more-like taste) - I'm always listening people that "that excellent movie is not on Netflix catalog"
I know it's a joke, but it's partly true...
I second that! (this nonsense is partly solved by "ilegal" markets...)
there is good movies that don't even figure on Netfilx catalog: for this exists only "niche theaters", and Netflix is not an option...
no, not first, but at the same time (or time window)

not for all home users... Netflix is playing bad here
