My wife and I go the movies quite regularly, but then we can afford it. We like audience participation. We like the excitement from the kids at a cartoon matinee, and there is no way I would have missed the hilarious moment when Bella first saw Edward and all the teenage girls in the audience went, "OOOOOOOOO!"
That said, the people are are in charge of content are just plain crazy, or else stupid or else too old to understand what the hell is happening in the world. ABC puts the latest released up fairly fast, but if I want to see an FX or AMC or SyFy that I missed, I have to get the torrent. That is so stupid. Even the Japanese anime people have made deals with Crunchyroll and Hulu. Here is a quote from Stan Morris. "The farther you go up in an organization, the more computer illiteracy you find." And that includes the tech companies.
I will note that at the Honda Golf Classic, CBS had the main coverage while Golf Channel had coverage at the bear claw, holes 15, 16, and 17. This was a great idea and it should be picked up by other media. The content people need to understand that people are using more than one screen and that all content needs to be available all the time, in every form of media. It's commercials you are trying to sell dummies, not schedules.
