If you want an experience similar to how the movie was intended to be watched then you definitely need a couple thousand. Most movies are filmed in 4K, so you need a proper projector and screen size to even see a difference in resolution (I'd say 100 inch minimum). And it needs to have Dolby Vision HDR10+ support. Then you need a Dolby Atmos setup with a compatible receiver too. 5.1 won't cut it with most movies. It's definitely worth it if you can afford it. But if you can't afford it, a theatre is still the only way.
Or you just watch it on your soundbar and your 50 inch TV. Or on your phone even. But then you're not the target audience of cinema anyways.
Says you. Not applicable to me.
Each to their own. Totally respect that everyone enjoys movies their own way. Theatres need to do that to and adapt to their core audience (like me) and they will stay relevant.
