As for me, i still go to the movies, however for some films i decide
they are not worth paying a seat and i will rent the blu-ray when
available.

Even though you might finally get the same angular size, depending on
where you seat, there is that feeling of a big room and screen, which is
not quite the same at home.

With the price of projectors coming down, you never know. It may become
fashionable all of a sudden, and everyone will want one at home. After
all, it takes almost no space in a room. The screen is flat and can be
rolled up when not in use, the projector can be placed overhead close to
the ceiling. In my case it is just above the doorframe and therefore
invisible when i enter the room.

Now it is possible that 4K is a bit too much for even such home screens,
and not quite enough if you want to go immersive. But because of that
last use case, there may be a future at home for higher resolutions.
