I haven’t been to a traditional cinema in about 5 years. Home theatres are much better value. Can pause and rewind for bathroom breaks, don’t have to wear pants, can drink and eat anything I want. I don’t have to contend with people incessantly talking throughout the movie, there are no bored kids kicking seats and crying, I don’t have to pay for parking, and I can start and stop the film whenever my company and I want to.

Well said. The disadvantages of going to the cinema far outweigh having to wait a few months to watch a movie at home. The studios should be leaning into this trend, not kicking and screaming that people aren’t going to the cinemas without fixing any of the downsides.
That ship has sailed.
