"I'm not prepared to be Chicken Little yet, but if the films coming in 2012 can't reverse this trend, then I think we need to reevaluate our expectations," said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. "We are living in a different world today than we did in the mid-'90s in terms of the technology available to deliver media. That may finally be having an impact."

The truth finally came on the last line of the last paragraph: "I'm not prepared to be Chicken Little yet, but if the films coming in 2012 can't reverse this trend, then I think we need to reevaluate our expectations," said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. "We are living in a different world today than we did in the mid-'90s in terms of the technology available to deliver media. That may finally be having an impact."
Much sooner rather than later I believe we are going to see theatres operating like Medieval European Gothic cathedrals, and new releases being streamed to our TVs via pay-per-view within 30 days of--if not 'day-and-date' with--theatre releases.
If 2012 ends not much better than 2011 (or the fifteen years prior), then I have no problems predicting a major shift to streaming tech well within 5yrs.
