Nothing new about 3 screens. It was called Cinerama

Three screens won't get people there. All they need are good movies and reasonable pricing.

How about deep dive or holodecks. I'd prefer the latter so I know I am really moving, not just in my mind.

No problem, get the government to ban Netflix just like Airbnb or uber

Crush all competitors through bribery, that's the way to do it in jp

People prefer the comfort of their own home

So they have to offer what home cannot offer

Yeah, I don't think it's a worthwhile thing to try. It suffers the same problem as Multi Screen vs VR gaming...now that we have VR...why would you bother with a multi monitor set up?

Film is a 2D experience, and it remains a very pleasurable activity to go and be alone in the dark, with a friend for a few hours.

kiwiboy is right: All they need are good movies and reasonable pricing.
