I can't imagine it'll ever lower movie ticket prices at the theater. They're operating on too thin of a margin as it is. Movie theaters need to think of innovative ways to bring in business. Like, what if they charged $15 instead of $10, but gave you a stripped down version of the DVD on your way out the door?
