It may take a while, but the Hollywood Movie Industry is destined to vanishing. Theaters, with their over-priced snacks and less than compelling movies, are no longer filling their seats for ordinary movies.

Virtual Reality (VR) headsets will allow people to experience the action in a movie, not just sit in a seat and watch.
