With the invention of television, movie houses had to find a way to continue to compete with the experience of watching programs at home. This is what gave birth to the widescreen format (or CinemaScope) in an effort to offer a distinct experience different from that of at home viewing.
Now that home theaters, digital downloads, online streaming movies, and digital surround sound systems are more common, how will movie distribution be impacted?
The prices of the movie tickets continue to rise, will theater chains remain the preferred method of movie viewing? How will theaters continue to survive? What will be the next widescreen?

They will get larger screens, and cheaper ticket prices. Because no matter how big your bigscreen, or projecter can go, nothing beats an Imax :) Hope this helps

movie theatres have prevailed throughout the years because, as rightly pointed out by you, that they have always had to ensure they had a point of difference from TV. With the sophistication of home theatre systems, I do believe that it will make an impact on movie theatres everywhere. However, I also believe that here's when movies theatres will innovate yet again to keep ahead.
Personally, I think that movies these days are getting more high-tech and almost can't do without digital enhancements. I think movie theatres will still have an edge over home theatre because there will be movies such as the Matrix Trilogy and Mission Impossibles which will be best watched on a larger than life screen, something that will be beyond the capability of a home theatre system.

The invention of stereo , radio, TV, et al, did not ring in the end of concerts, theater, or any other venue. I would not hold my breath. Theatrical Movie release figures run to millions of dollars for each release in the first few days of showings. This revenue usually pays for the expense of Film productions very quickly, so I don't see the trend you are concerned with here. You can look at theater as a sort of social event, if you wish. Private viewing has its place, but football seats in stadiums still sell, regardless of whether a game is telecast or not.

Even though home TV system is advancing this does not mean theater as still using there old technology. It will offer better quality and more innovative way to see movie.
For Example imax.

I hate the theatre these days. I wouldn't go back unless the actual actors were there to talk me through their methods. Even then I'd probably want them to shut up.
