The increasing popularity of 3D movies that give the audience experience of virtual reality is projected to drive the movie & entertainment market growth.

- There is a secular decline in film attendance, most major markets are in retreat.
- Venue operators are also challenged by a declining theatrical window, the amount of time studios show movies only in theatres before releasing them for sale, download or streaming. Since the turn of the century, the theatrical window has narrowed.
- This change reflects consumer preferences for content consumption, which
- increasingly favors streaming video on-demand (SVoD). Many SVoD services are now owned or invested in by movie studios, which alleviates incentives to maintain a long theatrical window and boosts an increasingly competitive streaming environment.
- This has led studios to prioritize releases for their own services, leading to reduction in films shown in theatres.
