Topic 3. Theater will never be as popular as cinema.
Theatre itself is very old and even an ancient attraction. From one point of view what can be more interesting than live play, live emotions that you see on the stage? It is hidden in people's nature: to find something new: adventures, attractions, emotions. When cinema appeared, the world had changed forever. People love going to the cinema because they are becoming a part of the each story they see: romantic, comedy or horror, everyone will find something interesting. In my opinion cinematography is on top of the attractions because of the visual effects, talented actors and because of the constant feeling that it is so real. Theater can not offer such experience even modern one. Despite it will stay beloved attraction for ages too, it will be always far behind from the developing technologies used in the movies. Nowadays we can see the movies in 3D, feel the fragrances and in close future we might find ourselves inside the picture, who knows? :) Economic statistics show that huge difference as well: average yearly profit of Miramax or SonyPictures companies is several hundred millions dollars. Whole theater industry barely dreams about it. Besides, a ticket to the theater performance is usually more expensive than a ticket to the cinema. Given the above, it is obvious why cinema will always be more popular.
