Once upon a time in America, film audiences gathered at ornate movie palaces, were led to their seats by ushers, and often enjoyed raffles during intermissions. That time has long passed. Now, in the era of the cineplex, audiences have eschewed much of these rituals for the ease of convenience. But where do we go from here? Will Americans in the next 25 years experience first-run films as we do? Will technological advancements lead to a more 360-degree move experience (a la the Oculus Rift), or will the path of filming lead back to our own homes? For this final reflection, consider what the future holds for movie audiences.
