Is Netflix destroying movie theaters?




                              Will Netflix and other movie streaming websites be the end of going to the movie theaters? I think that this could go either way, really. There are some people who have gotten addicted to watching movies from the comfort of their own home which can become a habit. There are also people who don't really like Netflix or movie streaming websites or don't use them, but who still like to watch movies so they still go to the theatre. There are also people like myself who do both and enjoy both equally. There are perks to either side. If you stay home and watch a movie on your computer or TV, you don't have to be in public or worry about other people being around you and you can just relax. Going to see a movie in theaters is different because it can be more exciting and more fun if you enjoy being out of the house. Movie streaming websites don't usually release brand new movies either, so if you want the latest and greatest movies you have to go see them in theaters instead of at home. I do think that more people nowadays prefer to stay home and watch Netflix, which could possibly be leaving a dent in movie theaters wallets. I do not think however that Netflix will end the movie theaters for good. What do you think?
