Quest is right.
I mean, almost every time I go to the best theater in my area on a weekend night the movie I want to see is sold out. Heck, half the time even the crap movies are sold out, because when people get to a theater they want to see a movie, whether it is the one they came for or not. The speaks volumes about why people go to the theater.

Yeah, i think theaters are going to be around a long time. People just want that movie theater experience, you know. Nothng can beat the first ever movie you saw in the theaters. People want the experience.

And buying the DVD is something more permanent. I own a home theatre, and I'm quite reluctant to buy a DVD unless I;m sure I'll like the film.
But I will go and see a movie if I'm not sure I'll like it. Though the last bad film I saw was Vanilla Sky.
And anyone who has attended a SW midnight will probably talk about the collective emotion of an audience in a theatre. I think it's sad that it's something we'll hardly ever see again  , a SW midnight that is, I was holding out for one for this year.

Since Clone Wars is being made specifically for tv I think a full fledge theatrical release would take away from it. A limited digital only theatrical release might be the best option. First it would guarantee that the film would be presented in the best possible quality and second it would please the hardcore fans who want to see Star Wars back on the big screen. A two week run would create a big enough splash for the debut of the series without overshadowing the main event itself on the tv screen.

In 1977 George Lucas created the Star Wars Trilogy and changed the way we look at movies.
In 1999 George Lucas created the Prequel Trilogy and changed the way we look at Star Wars.
Frasier, Lost, and Whose Line Is It Anyway? are the best tv shows ever.

I appreciate Jedimarines perspective immensly. I run a real estate operation, and I have a full appreciation and understanding of the economics involved. And, I agree to, that we will see a decline in movie theatre operations, as the pie is divided up between retailers of home theatre equipment. I have a home theater system that makes most theatres look and sound, stupid.
Though, theatres that will be left standing will be the ones that offer a above and beyond, ultimate, communal experience. I still love going to the movies. I still love making out with a girl, at the movies. I love seeing people I know in the lobby when buying Whoppers and Cherry sours. I love the BIG SCREEN. And, with all technology, the equipment will become more compact, more powerfull, and less expensive over time (flat screen TV's are a prime exmample)Plus, thier have been discussions of studios directly beaming, via satellite, new film releases to theatres. In which case, you could see the studios now owning their own mega-movie houses outright (on leased real estate or not)(Sony, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, etc.)I believe there are still a few more "permeations" of public theatre going still left on the horizon.
I can't wait to see this new Clone Wars theatrical debut. It's a no brainer and I can't wait to debate with you all in August, on the total experience (Hey, were star wars fans!). It probably won't make it to the smaller, coventional theaters, in most towns, but it will again kick up the awareness that this technology is suprerior, and hopefully the more theatres that jump on the band wagon, the equipmentt cost will ultimately come down.
