The end result is high quality, original programming. The way that streaming providers are going about creating their own shows is brilliant as it provides funding and lets the artists create freely. Going to the cinema often means queues, sitting through adverts even though you're paying to be there and then having to put up with noisy people ruining the atmosphere. This remembers the user's choices to let them carry on viewing from where they left off or find new shows and films they're likely to enjoy. Most smart TVs, consoles, tablets, phones and computers can access Netflix, Now TV or Amazon Instant Video from within a dedicated app. Streaming services are becoming more ingrained into our devices. This is where cinemas can still excel with screens like the IMAX and Dolby's new cinemas still able to dazzle the audience with laser aligned booming sound and 8K laser projectors creating a truly immersive experience. That's also more expensive than a whole month of access to the entire library of Netflix films and TV shows. Tickets are typically over £10, a price that could buy you a film on Blu-ray or online to keep. Why else is streaming killing the cinema? Price READ: EE TV review: A revelation for screens big and small This follows EE TV being released and the company, which is part of Orange, wanting its customers to watch at home rather than at the cinema. The Orange Wednesdays promotion, which let cinema goers get two tickets for the price of one, has been cancelled after 10 years of running. More than one in ten households have signed up to streaming services in the last 12-months. In the UK more than three million households subscribed to Netflix in 2014, twice as many as a year ago. Perhaps streaming services becoming ever more prevalent is part of that. 2014 was also the first year no film broke the £40m mark since 1998. In 2014 figures for UK and Ireland cinema earnings showed a 2.9 per cent decline to £1.13 billion, nothing to sniff at but still the most significant fall since 1991.
