Will Friday night openings ever be able to be enjoyed at home?

I was a reminded of a question I’ve been pondering on for a while now after I saw the Netfilx question. So, I’m wondering if anyone thinks the movie studios will ever let a company like Netflix premier brand new films to stream on the TV, I mean of course you would still pay the price but you could watch the movie from your living room, or would that be very bad news for the movie industry, I mean what’s to stop people from having a 100 friends over for a movie party? Or maybe they could just charge a higher fee? Something like a PPV charge like 50 dollars or something. There will still be people that go to the movies, but with TV technology today and how big the screens are getting, do you think this would be a good move for the industry? Maybe it would bring them in some more money and people would not watch the movies on one of the many new streaming sites that exist now knowing that they could just all chip in a little money to watch a new release in good HD quality? Or is someone already doing this and I just am behind the times here?
