I'm convinced there'll always be demand for watching movies on a giant screen, with great sound, and with other people. Very different experience.

You'd be amazed at what's "coming back": About a month ago I discovered a store that was full of vinyl records, CDs, and - especially - VHS casettes!! The proprietors seemed anything but demoralized. People are quite rightly growing alienated from a corporate regime managed by a legion of Dilbert's Pointy-Haired Boss-types who ruin every single thing they touch. Davos wants a "Great Reset", but the people want a 'Great U-Turn'.
