Blogger predicts cinemas won't survive next decade as AI lets people make movies at home
taherdhanera · x · 2026-10-05
A tech commentator predicts that movie theaters will not survive the next ten years: as AI video generation tools mature, people will produce their own films and watch them at home. In that world, Bollywood wouldn't just compete with Hollywood — it would compete with your living room.
The take echoes the rapid progress of AI video generation, which keeps lowering the bar for producing long-form personal content and could fundamentally disrupt the theatrical business model. It remains a personal prediction without supporting data.
