In a brief essay, explain how the movie viewing experience has been changed by the arrival of new technology.

What will be an ideal response?

The movie experience is now something that can range from happening in a giant IMAX theater to a small local theater, to a home HDTV, down to a computer monitor or tablet screen. People who view lots of movies typically do so in many ways, and these vary from being very social (big theaters) to solitary (on a mobile screen). Different types of movies will do better in differing formats, with action movies doing better on big screens and more intimate movies doing well on other devices.
